Famine

For the majority of people in developed countries such as the United States, being “hungry” is simply the pitted uncomfortable feeling you get when you miss a meal. Unfortunately its another story for one of the hundreds of millions who don’t get enough to eat every single day. Being continually hungry and being malnourished are pretty interchangeable. Malnourished means you don’t have the strength, energy, or mental capacity to do even the simplest of tasks. Hunger makes you weak, tired,…

Did you know that 717 million people are suffering from poverty right now and living on less than $1.90 a day? (World Bank). That means that everywhere in the world, people of all ages are starving and have no money to provide for their families. Similarly, "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt and "The Street" by Ann Petry both show themes of poverty but, more importantly, themes of persistence and how they continued to persevere when things get tough through characters, events, and setting. Frank…

The disturbance of its production affects severely it's local and export impact, because it is considered a very important consumption crop with high nutritional value and a potential export crop for the Egyptian farmers.

In my interview with Lorraine Guillen, she was able to help me understand why many children in many cases do not express their needs of hunger. She mentioned that many children are either embarrassed or afraid to admit they are hungry (L. Guillen, personal communication, September 27, 2016). Lorraine also found that when a child is often hungry in school, it is very likely they come from a family living in poverty (L. Guillen, personal communication, September 27, 2016). Since children are…

World Hunger Have you ever thought about what is world hunger? World hunger can be defined as the hunger problems that occur globally. People will suffer from hunger problems because they do not have enough food to consume. This can be further explain when almost 795 million people or one in nine people around the world do not have sufficient food to eat. So, there are three causes of world hunger which are climate, poverty, overpopulation and these causes will bring to an effect which is the…

Personal Statement Ever since I helped raise money to buy a cow for an underprivileged family, I have always thought of helping out even more. I have always loved giving back to others, but Now is the time to start helping out. The problem I want to help solve is World Hunger. I know it may take awhile if it ever does to eliminate. In far away countries many innocent people are dying from hunger and incurable diseases not seen in America. On WFP.org ( world food program) it is said that in sub-…

John Rolfe was one of the influential people of early colonization. He played an important role in the changing the landscape of the early America. John Rolfe asked for tobacco to be brought in, which ultimately brought different worms in. In the result of bringing the worms in, the litter was cut down immensely. Although the worms themselves did change history, it also proves another point about early America. The worms, along with the many other insects and animals, were what sparked change…

Slums In my own words I would define a slum as a place where someone lives who does not have immediate access to running water or sanitation. A point I seen trending in all the slum presented in the videos were that the people represented were minorities. Minorities seem to have the underhand globally in the world, and I also seen that diseases were high. In the Kibera documentary, it stated that that 20 percent of kids pass away before age 5; HIV was a major issue here as well. Running water…
