Hunger and poverty, world problem
Introduction
During the following essay, one of the most alarming problems that exist in our world will be discussed, I mean poverty and hunger. Basically hunger is not to have what one needs to meet basic needs, among it the most important is what generates energy in the body and gives us the necessary vitamins to live day by day, food.
The relationship between poverty and hunger is almost inevitable, this is true, it is something that we live today and occurs more frequently both in rich and poor countries, either in rural or urban ares. That is why I decide.
"While poverty, injustice and inequality exists in our world, none of us can really rest" -Nerson Mandela
Developing
It is important to know the definition of the terms of which will be discussed during the following work, as the first concept poverty is “the condition characterized by a severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, drinking water, sanitary water, health, housing, housing,Education and information. (UN, 1995: 57) FAO commonly uses hunger as a synonym for chronic malnutrition, although it also refers to hunger as food deprivation, or the uncomfortable or painful sensation caused by not ingesting sufficient energy in a certain time.
With poor diet, health is worse, hunger reduces children’s ability to grow and learn to all their potential. Hungry people cannot do heavy physical work, they fall ill and have more often and have more likely to die when they are still young, this happens exactly to almost 800 million people. Imagine a person who goes through this situation, every day they go to bed hungry and, when they wake up, hunger is still there, by his side. Being hung. Angola a small village of the African continent, is a clear example of the country in which its population has to face, day after day, to food insecurity and the lack of decision -making power over what have traditionally been their lands, 54%of its inhabitants live with less than $ 1.75 a day, a situation in which hunger constitutes a constant threat.
The situation of this continent is extremely alarming and just as they, millions of others, live in the same conditions. This is why we must become aware of the seriousness of the situation, not because it does not happen to us, we will not help end poverty. The SDG did not give some proposals to end poverty, the goal is that by 2030 both men and women have the same rights to economic resources, offering basic, technological and financial services. (SDG). When trying to give solutions to this problem that affects much of humanity, a lot of projects and resources are launched where society joins to impart solidarity, so it is necessaryMalnutrition, allow the reduction of inequality and increase jobs, as well as allow learning to low -income communities, with this minors can prevent or reduce the circle that is created by generations in the economy.
“The suffering of some can be caused by the ambition of others." -Mother Teresa of Calcutta
conclusion
Throughout this investigation, I allowed myself to admire the human being from another position, one where ignorance and narcissism are part, I find it hard to believe that there is poverty and hunger, millions of people suffer day by day with this terriblesituation, I do not imagine the pain or despair that all those people who do not have the same opportunity as others have.
This sad reality is a constant struggle, as citizens and brothers for the same land, we must generate empathy, get down to work to advance this situation. Our contribution is very important in change, we do not necessarily have to create programs or be politicians to be able to do something for these people, with the simple fact of contributing those people who need it with food, we are contributing a lot, or giving a currencyto the person who walks the streets asking for it, or even donating all those things that hinder us at home. These types of actions achieve a change in that person’s life.
We must raise awareness of our population, the impact that hunger and poverty cause, it is necessary to publicize this issue, we must be a unit society and allow us to help the needy.
