I chose this topic because it's easy to write. i choose easy way out, but it's also importnat topic because I would see homeless people everyday in the street begging for money. they would claim to be War Veteran, and what I'm suppose to do? I felt bad for the guy, and gave him twenty buck to buy something to eat. Also it's personal issue for me too, in Vietnam, I would see homeless people, and children too. they would sell lottery ticket to people and they got the money for themselves to survive. The government cannot do anything about it.
Vietnam is a poor country, and still follow the communist rule. Vietnam have no laws which I heard from my cousin. I wish i could have done something about this. Locally, I'm more concern with the children going hungry everyday especially low income families. Parents rely on welfare, but what if the gtovernment cannot support them anymore? Children goes to school everyday and rely on school breakfast and lunch. what about dinner?
I guess the solution to this problem is that people around the community should help out or donate the can food that hiding the kitchen closet. Everyday we are wasting food, we might not noticed it, but it's true that we are wasting food. I could not finish the food that I bought yesterday so forgive me heaven. Imagine for one day that we are out of food supply, and what we are going to do? what if walmart gone? what if food market gone? the farmer gone bad? Its big IF..
We should limit our spending our money on food, and rest is to help out who need it the MOST!
I agree completely. In the United States, people waste food all the time. I do not waste food because I contantly remind myself that someone is out there who do not have any food to eat. i am also reminded by my parents that they are people out in the world that are starving. Sometimes you also have to be careful on who you give your money to because sometimes there are people whoare pretending to have something wrong with them. It has been a couple of instances where people i knew had a person say they were homeless and they really was not. sometimes they would use their kids. it is ridiculous that people could do that. It is hard for anyone to turn away from a starving child. but you are correct that there are alot of people starving in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great topic that you're writing about. Eventhough you say you have chosen the easy way out, it seems that you have a soft spot for the subject. I knew Vietnam was a country in poverty, but I did not know that it was that bad as far as people struggling to eat, maybe because I'm ignorant to every countries are straving because I think America should feed America before we feed others. Seems like you have a great start to your paper, and I hope your research goes great for you.
