soc211 poverty and hunger :: Blog :: Social Problem and the Rest of Your Life

I see Hunger and Poverty as a very serious problem in our society and the world. I see it in the county I live in. I see the people around me who have hardly any money for anything and the choices thtat they have to make to survive. children growing up unhealthy and not eating right. The eldrly not being able to afford their medications because they have to chose between eating and buying their medication. This makes me so sad and mad. I had a family that lives close by and for Thanksgiving they were going to only be able to buy a chicken. I made them their Thanksgiving Dinner and delivered it to them. I felt so bad for them and the people out here who I know can not afford to even eat.
I see the problem getting worse instead of better. With gas prices so high and groceries going up everyday, people will never get out of poverty.
We can help by contacting our government representatives and deeping on them to help. We can also educate others on how bad these problems are. We all need to do are part in the matter. Just suggesting certain htings is not enough. We nee to get off our fannies and do somthing for our people who are suffeirng with these problems in uor own state and our country.
