Starvation


 * Topic: Starvation**

-I am advocating for the global issue of starvation because it is a matter that needs to be addressed and fixed.

-Regionally, around the world many are impacted by the issue of starvation. In Africa, places such as Ethiopia, Zambia, Angola, Malawi, Swaziland, Mauritania, ect. are all experiencing some sort of hunger. Starvation is widespread. Many people around the world live on less than a dollar a day, which is certainly not enough. Besides for Africa, this is a issue for poor people all over the world that do not have enough money, and therefore, cannot eat.

-This issue of starvation has impacts on jobs, and religious aspects. If one does not have any food to eat, they probably do not have a job, or look well enough to apply for one. As well, it is hard for a starving person to practice their religion when all they can think about it food.

-This issue of starvation affects human culture. In music, people sing about unfortunate people that are starving. Some artists sang about the people in Haiti that need food, as a result of the disastrous earthquake. As well, one can only strive for a culture that practices giving and kindness, and starvation impacts our culture to either to live up to those expectations and help the hungry, or not.

-Some causes of starvation are poor countries not generating enough food or water. Droughts occur in Africa and other regions. As well, bad harvests certainly do not help with the problem of starvation. It would help to donate money to such places around the world that have people starving for food. Also, if we generate more crops it could help the starving people around the world.

-This issue of starvation is widespread around the world. Locally there are poor people that are starving, as is true globally. Politically, some try to help people around the world that are starving, but it still doesn't solve the problem.

-Economically, starving people certainly does not help boost the economy. Having starving people all over the world does not help with the economy at all. There is not one solution that could immediately fix the problem of starving people around the world. That said, there are many ways that people can help people that are hungry all over the world, because there are many different organizations that if you donate, helps starving regions.

-Unfortunately, I don't envision an immediate solution to this problem of widespread starvation. I always try to donate to different organizations to help give food and water to starving people. An example of an organization that helps is The Hunger Project. This organization helps to put a stop to world hunger. If we give money to organizations like these, then it helps us to get one step closer to diminishing world hunger.
