  • Analysis of Food Insecurity Among Hispanics

    1509 Words  | 4 Pages

    Food insecurity is one of the major social problems that we have in our world today. The concern about this problem is the increasing number of people that are beginning to experience hunger more often. “While hunger has long been a public health concern in developing countries, it has received varying degrees of attention in the United States, most notable during the 1930s and 1960s” (Poppendieck 1992). In addition to lack of food, there are consequences that follow. People, especially children, who suffer from food deprivation also undergo some health issues such as malnutrition and obesity, which leads to more health care and hospitalizations. “In the early 1980s, most reports of hunger involved families with children, the elderly, the unskilled and unemployed youth, the mentally ill, the homeless and minorities” (Brown 1992; Nestle and Guttmacher 1992). However, a particular ethnic group that is greatly affected by food insecurities are the Hispanic...

  • Executive Summary: The Salvation Army

    156 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Salvation Army is an advocate for fighting against human trafficking that are for sexual and labor purposes. The founders are Catherine and William Booth who founded this church organization in 1865 in London, England. I believe they relate to the United States as a hegemony because the Booths were different than other churches. They took their ministry to London's east side streets which were very dangerous. The United States helps other countries to succeed by risking their own lives or the safety of the country to help. The Booths efforts started a mission for the rest of the generations in this organization which includes protecting women and children from sex trafficking. The Salvation Army's efforts did not stop there. Right now

  • The Salvation Army Campaign Paper

    Hi Sarah, interesting post! I never thought that the black and blue or white and gold were a part of a campaign by the Salvation Army. I thought that went viral because of "fun" purpose. The real campaign behind the debate of the dress color was very meaningful. I think The Salvation Army can integrate the use of social media with their Integrated Marketing Communications strategy successfully. According to Mangold & Faulds, 2009, an organization may link their values with the message of the campaign. As The Salvation Army is a nonprofit community that want to contribute into society, the use of this campaign can reflect their organizational value. However, do you think that the discussions of the campaign became a humorous debate over the

  • Hunger is Not a Game

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hunger is an issue that is becoming more and more prevalent in cities across the United States. In a survey released last year by the United States Conference of Mayors’ Task Force on Hunger and Homelessness, it was reported that requests for emergency food assistance rose in 21 out of the 25 major cities that were surveyed. Among those seeking emergency food, 51 percent were in families and 37 percent were employed. (United States Conference of Mayors’ Task Force). These findings alone suggest a changing visibility of hunger where many previously middle class families are become dependent on food aid. This change would thus need to be addressed by institutions and interventions, that focus on the issue of hunger. However, in the same report it was found that “In 95 percent of the cities surveyed, food pantries cut the amount of food each person received and soup kitchens reduced meal sizes. In almost all the cities, pantries capped people's monthly visits as well.”(United States Conference of Mayors’ Task Force). While food pantries struggle to handle the increased demand as budgets are being cut, it may be necessary to approach this issue of hunger differently.

  • Homeless Shelter Research Paper

    632 Words  | 2 Pages

    Everything happens for a reason. If you do something good, something good happens for you in return. However, if you do something bad, something equally bad will happen to you. For example, think of the homeless. They don’t complain about how they don’t have good items, but instead they are thankful for what they do have. They are thankful for things such as their food and clothes. They deserve something nice for everything that they have put up with. Both college students and members of a religious organization feel bad for these people, and decide to build a shelter for them. They plan to complete this project in six months, but they do not have a specific plan yet. If I was in charge of this project, my plan would be to use three skilled and five unskilled volunteers in order to finish building the shelter in the shortest time possible.
