Poverty/Hunger is an issue which revolves around multiple amounts of biological tribulations. Despite the fact that the main reason for Hunger/Poverty is economical downfalls within a country, physical and mental problems are found within an individual. This is mainly found in small nations in Africa whom are trying to develop a government without financial support.(1) Another great example is Haiti because as we all know they are the poorest nation in Western Hemisphere which was devastated by two earthquakes back to back. Without having the financial need to support itself world hunger becomes inevitable. Coming back to the scientific aspect of Poverty/Hunger the necessity of food directly affects the physical healthiness of a human. Not only is it unhealthy and cause weakness, but the mental health will also be affected.(2)

When the mental health a human is affected it reduces your ability to be calm. Cranky, anger, desire are some of the main emotions which are going through the affected humans body.(3) This allows him to fall off from thinking in positive ways because stress is overtaking the mind. This means that without parents being able to eat they have no energy in which they can support their families and their children will be prevented from being able to receive an education. The physical damage that will be caused by world hunger is as we know when desperate to eat anything; an open option is the garbage. This is the dumbest decision a human can make because of all the bacteria that is found within a garbage can make someone sick, get a disease of straight up die. Being hungry causes you to get very weak and also skinny. This is when we come in place. If the whole world allied to supply simple resources such as corn, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. it would be enough to save thousands of innocent lives.(4) This is when it becomes a difficult task because not everyone finds the sympathy to support individual nations who can’t even support itself.

All the affects that hunger has on the world are negative for this reason many countries with weakened economies look to ally with countries who may support them in one way or another. Hunger and Poverty are one of the biggest issues this world faces and now that we know the reason what difference can you help make in your community? This then becomes the big topic of this issue is there any way that support can be extended to the needed? If we take a quick glance back at the mental and physical affects that hunger causes it becomes a great question, what can you do to make a difference? Scientists throughout the world calculate the amount of civilians that suffer from hunger and realize that there are millions of families who lose their job or home because of a breakdown in the economy and realize that when this happens Hunger in the world only worsens.(5) So think about it, what you can do to make your community a better one?
