Why is it a Hawaii problem?
In Hawaii 168,030 people are struggling with hunger and 54,650 of those people are children. We all know that most of those 168,030 people starving are of hawaiian culture. This is a great problem because when we reflect to our past and how our kupuna used to live, they did not rely on resources like this but their own resources such as the ‘āina. Hunger is a local hawaii topic of concern because of those 9.1 million people suffering from hunger, 168,030 of those pool of people are from Hawaii. Why is it a Global problem? Basically hunger is a global problem because it affects the lives of many. Stats show that about 9.1 million people a year are dying from hunger and starvation. This is a global problem because it is worldwide that these people are dying and they face serious consequences. When reading about the hunger project it says that “Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty. It is often called the most severe and critical manifestation of poverty”, which basically is saying that another word/explanation for hunger is very intense poverty. This clearly shows that people suffering from hunger are also facing problems such as finding a place to sleep at night, or simply shelter. Statistics show that 9.1 million people die every year from hunger |
