What I Want To Know Reflection
According to library.thingquest.org every 3.6 seconds someone dies from hunger. Not just in Africa, but around the world in Asia, India, Latin America and anywhere in the world where poverty is widespread. Thinkquest also states that the money our military spends on one missile could feed a school in Africa for five years, and the money we spend on military in two days could prevent one-hundred millions people around the world from dying.
The main reason why people in Africa are starving is the environment. Rain is seldom there so nothing can really grow. It is also very hot so water is seldom as well which leads to extreme dehydration. Many organizations such as UNICEF, Save the Children, and the Red Cross have gone down to African villages and created water wells so the people can drink clean water and give medical attention to the ill.
Most countries in Africa have corrupt governments which lead to sick and starving people to keep living how they are. A lot of governments also don’t want the United States coming and helping their people for weird varies reasons. And you have to think that the United States have limits on how much we can spend helping other countries because of our economy AND we have our own issues within our own country which includes starvation as well.
