Blogpost 4: Major Major Problems of hunger

I for one get hungry but not the DYING kind of hungry. Hunger is a major problem not just here in the Philippines but also in other countries. It is a crisis and a burden to all specially poor people. But not all people experience hunger but that doesn't mean we can not experience it in the future so we've got to be ready when that time comes.

I found this article entitled "World Hunger and Poverty" by "Anup Shah" in the website "global issues" and this article gave little explanation but a huge meaning in terms of its content.

This article stated that the main cause of hunger is non other that poverty but first let me tell you a short meaning of the word poverty. It is the   I've noticed one part of this article which is very strong in meaning. That part is :

"...If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependency would still remain."

Meaning if the government will continue to focus on how to gain and improve food then the whole poverty problem will not be solved at all and it would even make it worse. Another one that i saw is :

"...And so while continuous effort, resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through these technical measures, the political causes need political solutions as well."

This statement is correct because it is true, if government would help in ways like putting up more fund in food, expand land distribution for the poor so they can plant and harvest more crops and lower the prices of food.

The government is always the one who is being accused of why there is hunger, well its not entirely true. For me it's the governments fault and the peoples fault why? because let's face it, some of the government officials are doing there job right by helping people reduce and probably eliminate hunger but what does the people do, goof of, they don't do their jobs right that's why they experience poverty and most importantly they never listen to the government.

We may not experience the change we've been wishing for but if the solutions that the government are currently promising to the people were given, then we could call it a miracle that might even stop hunger.
