Starvation

Today in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea, many citizens face a difficult challenge of staying alive due to their living conditions. They are constantly in a fight against starvation and some are unable to continue. The Korean government, however, neglects its duties by making nuclear weapons instead of feeding its people. The country is currently in a downward spiral, with a collapsed economy and economic isolation from the rest of the world but just manages to stay…

While the birth rate increases approximately one percent every year, the death rate increases too. The united nation say’s that around twenty-one thousand people die every day due to hunger or hunger-related causes, the food just does not get to all the people around the world.

Interestingly, the surviving number of accounts that convey similar imagery by the famine are less common; “Cormac O Grada has further noted that certain aspects of the famine tragedy, such as descriptions of physical deterioration and abnormality from starvation and nutritional deficiency. . . are hardly represented in the oral tradition.”4 It makes sense that those affected directly by the famine would not want to dwell on such things; I would also hypothesize that it was simply not worth…

What role do we play in protecting or destroying our environment? How do we treat others who are not like us? How often do we think about those who are starving every day? Is it only on Thanksgiving, when we are extremely full, or do we think about world hunger and how we can make an impact on solving this problem? With images of social injustice and environmental degradation, the video for “What I’ve done” brings all of these questions to mind. The song by Linkin Park, “What I’ve done,” makes a…

Prison is not always something that can be seen, it is a thing that is close to or impossible to escape. Whether it is yourself, a memory, or a person, it seems to follow you everywhere: that feeling of being trapped or ensnared. In the world of Mayella Ewell, life was a prison. Within Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird there were three things shaped that sense of imprisonment for Ms. Ewell: Her father, poverty, and the Ewell name. Bob Ewell was a drunk, an abuser, and ignorant. An example…

The video started out with parades and celebration as a result of the freshly attained independence and opening of parliament in Africa in 1960. This marked the end to the “100 year colonial Rule” of Africa. “Within the first year Africa began taking its place amongst the other countries of the world” (Africa, 3:30). The modernization of Africa over the last 20 years has lead to a number of issues from, increases in population, lack of electrical power to go around, and escape from famine,…

With an ever increasing world population many third world countries have been the ones to suffer. People from these countries often die from starvation, malnutrition or under nutrition. According to section 27 of the South Africa constitution “everyone has the right to access sufficient food and water.” In this essay I will argue that genetically modified foods are superior for human consumption rather than organic foods. Genetically modified foods are foods derived from organisms whose…

What makes you global The item that represents a current global issue I am strongly passionate about is child hunger in Colombia. Colombia is a third world country that is home to a vasts amount of diversity, ranging from the culture to the climate zones. Despite this, children all across the country have little to none access to food on a daily basis.
