Ethical Dilemmas, human rights, and values

    People that have the ability to feed the hungry are not helping. People in places like in the US. Suffering people in Africa are not getting the help they need. Yes, they are getting some help, but not to an extent it can save many lives. That is an ethical dillema that is present in world hunger. Organizations such as the UN, development banks, and Oxfam international are trying to help this issue. However, it is not enough. This is effecting human rights because every person should have the right amount of food to live a sustainable life. It is also affecting environmental problems.Typically, the environment is the foundation of how you're economy flows, leading to the amount of access to food you have. If I were put in this situation, I would have done things such as helping other people that are suffering as well.  World hunger effects many values. Families are being impacted, since they don't have time to actually be a "family". Education is being impacted because children cannot go to school because they must do things to help sustain their families. People's interests are being affected because some people do not want to put in the money and time to help these people that are suffering. Yes, it may sound inhumane, but in reality some people do not want to.

Consequences of world hunger

Health (Physical/Mental),  developmental, education  (lack of). The lack of food affects physical health. Diseases and dysfunctions come along  with mental health, alongside with things like disorders. With the lack of food, education is usually hard to come by. These are consequences of world hunger. Basic needs are going unanswered. People suffering from hunger are not provided with food, which is obviously a basic need. Every person should have the right amount of food to live a sustainable life. Typically, the environment is the foundation of how you're economy flows, leading to the amount of access to food you have. It also relates to economy. Typically, the worse the economy, the harder it is to access food. It breaks down families, because they have limited access to food so its harder to sustain their lives. Their are many victims to this issue. Many children, adults, and families are being affected and are constantly living with the fear of not knowing what to eat.
World hunger is unfair. These people could have bright futures, and their stuck in poverty. Since they have to support their family, they sometimes have to cut school, or not go to school at all. This affects their ability to get out of poverty, so it continues and continues.
