Reflection Paper On Hunger

World hunger, one of the world's most treacherous problems in the modern era. Simply not enough resources to feed yourself and your family, to the point where you are on the brink of death. While others strive for just one bite, many do not like what’s on their plate and shove it away without thinking about those who are sadly unfortunate. If you specifically had the option had the option to reduce this issue, would you? I know lots who would reduce the issue themselves out of happiness. This is the topic on the reason why world hunger needs to be stopped and how precisely to do so.

Freedom from hunger and malnutrition is a basic human right and their alleviation is a fundamental prerequisite for human and national development. WHO has traditionally focused on the vast magnitude of the many forms of nutritional deficiency, along with their associated mortality and morbidity in infants, young children and mothers. However, the world is also seeing a dramatic increase in other forms of malnutrition characterized by obesity and the long-term implications of unbalanced dietary and lifestyle practices that result in chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.

Throughout my life I have learned from my father how to communicate effectively with others and how words can effect another. This has been an going learning experience with the new cultures I have come in contact with. Further, I was taught that education important to broaden my knowledge, thus I continued my education once I graduated high school. Conversely, I do not believe that all knowledge is learned from a book. Rather, a vast majority is learned through experience. For instance, once my mom passed away I had to take on that role for my siblings. Thus, I learned skills like cooking, cleaning, and supervising. I believe that through experiences like this I have gained the most intellect. I continue to be open to new learning opportunities or ideas that potentially can allow me to further my knowledge in any aspect of my

“Hunger”, by Lan Samantha Chang, is a cautionary tale of an immigrant Chinese family in this complex story about unrelenting hunger, oppression, love and loss. Narrated by Min; the deeply unhappy and obedient wife of Tian, a gifted violinist, finds work as a music teacher in New York, but ultimately fails to land a permanent job at the school. Driven by personal failure and his unrelenting hunger for the violin Tian cruelly forces his two daughters, Anna and Ruth to play the violin, so they can follow in his footsteps. Tian’s inability to separate himself from his violin ends up destroying his family. Chang uses Tian’s obsessive hunger for the violin as a symbol of his identity, showing us that we must be careful

This web page's goal is to introduce the visitor to the problem of world hunger and provide ways to access more information through books and other web sites. The page was created as a final project for an Environmental History class held at the University of Vermont spring semester 2000.

Hunger is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as 1) an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach caused by the need for food 2) a great need for food (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Since we all have experienced these feelings since as far back as we can remember and have associated then with hunger or being hungry, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean we should question all of the times we believed that we have been hungry or does it mean that there is no way there could be such thing as false hunger?

Although the world has a surplus amount of food produced on a daily, millions of people go hungry every day. Its a problem that the world has yet to solve as people of different countries go days and sometimes weeks without food. Farmers of the U.S. though have made an effort to feed more people. With the advancement in technology, farmers are equipped with better tools to help them produce their crops at high rate. Maybe the farmers are the answer to world hunger.

Normally, three square meals a day is the normal diet for a properly nourished human being, but nobody realizes how lucky they are with only one square meal a day. One of the many issues that are global is world hunger. One person every four seconds die of starvation, which means about 21,000 people die by being undernourished every day. Children all over the world are physically and mentally abused due to lack of food, and their chances of them living a long life are not very big. What makes matters worse, is that 1\3 of the food produced is never even consumed, which means if people did not throw away food, world hunger around the world would not exist. Each year, the number of people dying from starvation rapidly increases, and nobody realizes that we can save more than ¼ of the human population just by donating food.

Hunger can be directed towards cravings for food, desire for power and possessions, or desire for God. Christians believe the desire for God is the only thing that will satisfy this natural hunger. Desire for anything other than God leads to self-centered love and not self-giving love. Aquinas explains where this natural hunger stems from, the mystics explain how to satisfy this natural hunger, and Dante is an example of someone who needed to help to remember to feed this natural hunger. Aquinas, the mystics, and Dante would agree that the only way to satisfy this natural human hunger is to love and be loved by God.

Boredom becomes a factor in hunger. Are we really hungry or are we bored and the only solution that comes to mind is to eat. When we wake up in the morning majority of people eat breakfast while others choose to grab coffee and go. It is easy to argue that we eat breakfast not because we are hungry, but we have always been preached to about the importance of eating a nutritionist meal to begin the day. If everyone felt hunger the same way,

World hunger has been a constant problem throughout the ages. It is a problem that should be able to be solved easily, yet there are still 1.02 billion undernourished people worldwide. With the world population being 6.7 billion people, and the Earth producing more than enough food for this amount of people, why is it that there are hungry, malnourished people all around the globe?

“ Africa has been suffering food crisis for years and years. Throughout all the recurring droughts that just come naturally, it is very difficult for Africans to grow food. In America alone we have given Africa billions and billions of dollars for food aid. Everyone is wondering “Why are Africans are still starving, and asking for more money?”.(Famine in Africa) Many of the places in Africa are caught up in food insecurity.Food insecurity is the main reason for starvation in Africa.Without having the nutrition of food it will cause Africans to be ill. Being ill causes Africans to not have energy and without energy it is difficult to go out and plant and raise crops. “From illness in Africa alone 12 Africans

My kids are hungry but there is nothing to eat. Wolfs do not have to always be seen as a bad figure, that's why my family and I eat fruits and vegetables instead of meat. We do not want to be seen as scary. Sadly, all the fruit here is being taken by my new neighbors. I would love to make friends and form and agreement but I don't want to scare them away. My kids cry to me, “Dad, dad! Please get us food!” But I can not let them turn into monsters by eating our friends. It hurts me to even think about eating other animals.

The ability for hunger to play a role in obesity is a thought that can seem to be far fetched. As hunger is known to be a condition where a person can not obtain adequate the amount of nutrient consumption and can often be derived from food insecurity, the lack of a consistent supply of nutritious food. Obesity on the other hand is known to be a condition in which an individual is severely overweight. The fact that hunger and food insecurity can lead to obesity seems to be a complicated occurrence to understand. However, there is data that indicates that this proposal is indeed true in many cases. It is important to discuss the issue and develop a better understanding to whether this occurrence is even possible. This so that prevention and

Food is one of the basic needs of a human being to survive. All of us depend on food for having a good health, therefore with the lack of food many people will be starving and malnourished.
