Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors that cause people to become homeless in the United States based on the analysis of the film "Homeless to Harvard". In addition, this study also aims to identified the motivation of the main character to overcome the factors that cause homelessness, as depicted in the film.
This study uses a qualitative approach because it allows researchers to explore the factors that cause homelessness. This qualitative approach is suitable because it allows researchers to explore the factors that cause homelessness in the United States. The data collection method used is observation, by watching films, recording relevant information, and storing evidence in the form of screen images. In addition, researchers also conducted a search for relevant literature to support the analysis of the problem. The theory used in this study uses 2 theories, namely, Sociology theory and the theory of three needs (David Mccleland's). Sociology theory is used to determine the factors that cause homelessness and the theory of three needs (David Mccleland) is used to determine the motivation of the main character to overcome homelessness. The data for this study consists of two types: primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained from the film "Homeless to Harvard" released on April 7, 2003, which is the main source for understanding the phenomenon of homelessness. While secondary data was obtained from various sources such as books, journals, and articles that support the analysis of the main problem.
A brief explanation of the results of this study are as follows. There are 4 factors that cause homelessness in the film. The factors that cause homelessness are poverty, drugs, economic problems, health problems and domestic violence. While the aspects that motivate the main characters in this film show a strong drive to achieve success through the need for achievement, the need for affiliation, and the need for power. Thus, this study provides valuable insight into the complexity of the homeless problem in the United States and highlights the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing this problem.
