ASSIGNMENT: “HUNGER” - Ekim Mañacap

   
CAN YOU EAT WITHOUT NOTICING? (Photo and Caption by: Ekim Mañacap)




 “Unfair” is the word….. Life is unfair, no doubt. The photo speaks for itself, happy kids eating but how about the hungry child outside? And who is responsible for this? Isn’t it disappointing that we can never point out the real cause of poverty? But we decisively judge the possible causes like, economy, education, corruption, parenting and the like. But we fail to give attention nor attempt possible solutions to the root causes. This image is not only visible in quick service restaurants but also in the streets, parks, and all over the world…

     World poverty is something that most people have thought about at least once. Well, I’ve been thinking about it for several times and every single time it disappoints me. World poverty is an issue that has existed since civilization began. It’s true that we have been sent to earth equal, but after we humans began to civilize ourselves we were divided into three groups: the poor, the middle class, and the rich. As time passed rich people got richer and richer, while the middle class and the poor got poorer and poorer. Until now this tradition has survived and all of us can now see how the world suffers from poverty. One of the possible ways that I thought can help bring down the percentage of the poor population in a simple way that poor people should likely avoid reproduction. When someone can’t handle himself/herself, why bring an innocent child to life?.....
