I'm hungry.. so is the world.

Starvation is a very big problem in the world today. Millions of people die because they have no food.  Over 4 million people die each year because of starvation. Statistics show that the Indian subcontinent holds half of the world’s starving people. Asia and Africa, combined, hold about 40 percent, Latin America, and parts of the world hold the other numbers of starving people. Starvation is world-wide and abundant. Trying to prevent it is very controversial today, but it is possible to help drop starvation numbers around the world.    

Usually, you can find most of the world’s starvation in areas with a lot of poverty.  Areas of poverty have an aggressive atmosphere.  Many people that live there, are poorly educated and do not know better.  People in areas of poverty would do almost anything to survive, even if it means taking the lives of other people to save their own.  A big part of trying to survive is having enough food to keep them going.  In the poorer areas of the world, like parts of Asia, Africa, and India, food is scarce and can be easily fought over.  This creates a snowball effect: if people do not have enough food, it clearly means that they do not have enough money. Without money, there is poverty, with poverty comes crime. The last thing each economy needs in its possession is more crime.

One solution to help with the world’s hunger is through education: education for both fairly wealthy areas, and poor areas as well.  If the government and private school systems start to let their students know more about the problems around the world, it would encourage them to help.  If people have more knowledge about what is going on, it leaves a bigger space for assistance.  Also, teaching the unfortunate people. Letting them know about what their future holds. A better education could broaden people’s job and future choices to hopefully end their troubles. But, of course, one little tweak of the economy would surely not have a huge impact on the world’s starvation levels.

Another solution to the world’s problem of hunger lies within the fortunate people. If people have knowledge about the suffering that is going on, they might help. People could give donations to the starving. But, a big problem with donations is that people are not always sure what to do.  If America and other parts of the world simply set up organizations and programs that could potentially help the malnourished, people could easily drop off their endowments to said programs and organizations and not have to worry about signing forums or having to let out personal information
