Hunger

Definition of the Problem:

This problem that I chose, world hunger, is a really serious problem, and every day people are dying even quicker becasue of this ever expanding cause. The defention of world hunger is that basically people around the world are starving because of a serious lack of food. This problem exsists majorly in all of Africa, but its quickly extending to some parts of South America, and also in some parts of Europe. A lot of people link famine to other global issues, like the economic crisis, global warming, and pollution. This reasoning is right. For example, all of the food comes from the earth, and when there are droughts, that are caused by global warming because of high temperatures, the crops that become food for a specific community dry out, and it no longer becomes possible to process it. Also, the economic crisis is severly affecting this. Since there is no money left, the aids to go to Africa are very little, and its hard to gather up supplies when people are suffering of an economic crisis. Also, pollution damages crops, so it automatically kills them.

Assumptions:
 * Malaria, Aids, Cholera and other infectious diseases might be caused by starvation.
 * Kids are the ones that are suffering the most of starvation, even if they eat less, they still need the food as much as bigger adults.
 * If the problem continues at this rate, the problem will grow and eventualy mor people will die.
 * People could be helping out way more than right now.

valentina: defenition of the prob.:

The problem is WORLD HUNGER which means hunger around the world, expanding each time more. Every day people die because of this, in fact every 5 seconds 5 people die in Africa. This problem is majorly in Africa but each day it is expanding more and more. One cause causing world hunger is dividing the food badly in other words in unequal parts. While some places are getting more than what they need in other places there is almost none. Kids are the ones that are being the most affected because like they are growing up they need nutrients to do so.

➙definition of the problem Most readers of this paper will never experience the true hunger- a need for food so profound that it destroys body and mind. In 2002, six-and-a-half million babies and young children died from hunger-related causes. In the last 30 seconds, five children have died. Of hunger.

The world today produces enough grain alone to provide every human being in the planet with 3,500 calories a day. The ideal is 2,000. We have more than necessary for everyone. And this estimate does not even count many other commonly eaten foods. Abundance, not scarcity, describes the world supply of food.

So why is it that we see hundreds, even thousands of Africans fighting for the most tiny amount of food, while an American can be enjoying a meal at Denny's? Why is it that millions have to burn their back and cut their feet open while picking out coffee, and others don't even have to work and already have money? Unfortunately, the food and money are not equally distribuited. Small portions of the world has more than enough, the others don't. Bad distribuition and poverty can cause people to be hungry.To die.
