Save a Life! End World Hunger! Topic: World Hunger Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to help end world hunger through several charity and volunteer programs. Central Idea: The world has a huge problem with hunger and this problem could be greatly downsized if everyone would donate or volunteer to support charities working to end hunger throughout the world. Type of Speech: Speech of Value (Make a change/ call to action). Introduction: I. How many of you can image being so hungry that you, didn’t have enough energy to talk or even walk? How many of you have went an entire day without eating and feeling like you were about to die? II. Many of us can agree with the feeling of being extremely hungry, but we can never compare our feeling of hunger to other families feeling of hunger in countries throughout the world. III. There are a lot of people around the world who are deprived of the most important essentials to survival and development. IV. I am pretty certain that no one in this room can imagine not being able to provide their family with food on a daily basis. There are people throughout the world who eat what we eat in one week for almost months. Some even have to walk several miles just to retrieve water that is not sanitary to drink. It bothers us to think about these things but there are so many families living in these conditions as I speak. Many of you may be thinking that you cannot do anything about this, but I am here today to tell you can! V. Along with the research I have completed with this topic, I recently visited an organization in Schaumburg, IL called FMSC (Feed My Starving Children) a local organization with seven locations, in the U.S. that provide food to children and families in need of a me... ... middle of paper ... ...eason for it, ways in which you can help end world hunger, and how people as well as you can benefit from choosing to help donate or volunteer to end hunger. You can help save the life of a person suffering from hunger by donating can goods and volunteering to sponsor a child or help hand-pack nutritional meals. III. What if there came a point in your life where you suffered from hunger? What if your last meal was today? Think about how much happiness and satisfaction you will bring to a person who has suffered years from hunger with just by making a simple decision. IV. I’m going to leave you with this “Hunger is actually the worst weapon of mass destruction. It claims millions of victims each year" (Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil) (Hunger Quotes, n.d.). Now the decision is yours will you continue to let it make claims or will you help to end it?
Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are limited to a small part of society and certain areas of the country, but the reality is much different. In many ways, America is the...
I chose to use the rhetorical concepts of Ethos, pathos, and logos to convince my audiences of how world hunger is considered one of the deadliest disease in the world, by bringing the issues of malnutrition, and starvation (World Hunger) to light can moreover encourage us individually to help and put a stop to world
“ELCA MEMBERS STRIVE TO REDUCE HUNGER IN THE UNITED STATES.” States News Service 21 Mar. 2012. Academic OneFile. Web. 6 Feb. 2014.
When one thinks of hunger they picture a thin, gaunt, emaciated person or youngsters with a pot belly with ribs showing and skeleton arms; today’s hunger may well still be this picture but also includes those people that are obese. Hunger is not having enough food to eat, perhaps not know where your next meal will come from, however is also not receiving the vital nutrients needed to not only sustain life, but also for quality of life. “The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 795 million
The decision to end world hunger is a groups effort that can provide little by little from everyone to make a difference that will be effective. “the decision and actions of human beings can prevent this suffering” (Singer 554). The action of the human race itself that re better off can save the life of many suffering that are worse off. Singer takes on the case that it should be a moral duty to help others because people often help those that are in reach to them and ignoring to sacrifice and put the effort to help those that are far of reach from them as well. Singer wants us to follow the famine relief and support those in need even if it means putting aside ours wants and benefiting to those who are suffering needs. “We would not be sacrificing anything significant if we were to continue to wear our old clothes, and give the money to famine relief. By doing so, we would be preventing another person from starving. It follows from what I have said earlier that we ought to give money away, rather than spend it on clothes which we do not need to keep us warm. To do so is not charitable or generous” (singer 557). Giving to a suffering nation should be as enjoyable or even more so than buying a new dress and just because you give it is not a generosity or charitable either because you are supporting life, which should not be an option. If it is in our will to prevent harm,
In conclusion, hunger is a constant, chronic pain distressing many children. Famished children should have become a thing of the past a long time ago. The thought may seem impossible, but the world produces enough food to feed everyone. In the world as a whole, per capita food availability has risen from about 2220 kcal/person/day in the early 1960s to 2790 kcal/person/day in 2006-08, while developing countries also recorded a leap (2015 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and
Gundersen, Waxman, Engelhard, and Brown (2010) found in their study that 50 million people (including 17 million children) were food insecure in 2010. Poverty and food insecurity affects the lives of billions of people worldwide and millions of people in the United States. More than two billion pe...
Most people in poverty deal with many terrible things. 21,000 people daily die from hunger related causes. Many individuals fall ill from lack of clean drinking water and then when they are ill can’t go to work and they also can’t afford the medication needed to get better. 28% of children in developing countries have stunted growth or are underweight. 72 million children worldwide don’t go to school at all. Because of this nearly one billion people can’t read a book or even sign their name. In most areas a family of four needs...
When considering the topic of poverty and hunger, many Americans look outside the borders of the United States. However, food insecurity is an issue that plagues millions of American households each year. The United States Department of Agriculture found that 14.5% of American households faced food insecurity during 2012. These households were defined as having “difficulty at some time during the year providing enough food for all their members due to a lack of resources” (Nord, Singh, Coleman-Jensen).
In the past ten years the world population exceeded six billion people with most of the growth occurring in the poorest, least developed countries in the world. The rapidly increasing population and the quickly declining amount of land are relative and the rate at which hunger is increasing rises with each passing year. We cannot afford to continue to expand our world population at such an alarming rate, for already we are suffering the consequences. Hunger has been a problem for our world for thousands of years. But now that we have the technology and knowledge to stamp it out, time is running short.
In this world there are many different types of challenges faced but individuals in different countries, as people work together to find a way to stop or solve these challenges there are also some challenges or situations that individuals, even as a group, cannot eliminate. The race to reach conclusions of situations is very desirable and is being worked on very efficiently, but one issue that people have mistaken into accomplishing is hunger. Hungry is present everywhere and not a lot of people can satisfy or fulfil that need. Lack of sanitation, unemployment, and unhealthy diet choices these are involved in an imaginary line called the poverty line. The idea of food banks is a good start into eliminating hungry but the process still has a
Hunger is the most pressing issue we face. One out of every eight people in the world today suffers from chronic undernourishment caused by food scarcity. 19,000 kids die everyday from hunger. The world has more than 1.5 times enough food to feed everyone on this entire planet although with some people making less than two dollars an hour, it is hardly imaginable to be able to. At least the number of people who die everyday of famine is going down every year because more and more people care. We want to keep this number going down not only by the year, but also by the day. If we want this to happen, we have to take action. Now.
By doing so, all the donated food and money proceeds are donated to developing countries in need due to the high rates of people in poverty and starvation. Most countries in Africa are usually in need of food because it has the highest population of people starving being 795 million. The main reason behind this huge number of innocent lives starving and dying is because of their unbalanced economic system. If we are to do this, then it will help reduce the number of people starving, and therefore be one step closer to ending world
Poverty extends out over all continents, making it the most widespread negative factor. Out of the world’s 2.2 billion children, approximately half live in poverty according to UNICEF. Poverty claims approximately 22,000 children’s lives per day. This statistic illustrates the struggle children that live in poverty must face in order to survive. Poverty is a root cause of hunger, disease, and lack of shelter. It is concentrated in pockets in areas such as South Africa and South Asia. Children, who must...
If every community could reach out and teach this vital knowledge to one other community, the hunger rate would drop immensely. Instead of relying on outside sources for food, the community would be responsible for growing their own food. Once set into place, it would be almost an immediate change. But in order for that to happen, there has to be a program set in place that is willing to donate the necessary tools and supplies that are needed to start farming. Once learned and mastered, the farmers would take care of the rest once taught how to. Eliminating worldwide hunger is not something that is going to happen overnight. It will take a substantial amount of effort from wealthier countries that are willing to help. Men, women, and children die every day from malnourishment and there is a
