Lecture notes: World Hunger and my Responsibility as a Global Citizen


Hello everyone, my name is Wilson and today I'm going to talk about The World Hunger and my responsibility as a global citizen regarding this problem.

According to the Medical dictionary, world hunger refers to the second definition, aggregated to the world level. The related term is either malnutrition, or if malnutrition is taken to refer to both under nutrition  is taken to refer to both under nutrition and over nutrition as it increasingly is under nutrition. Both malnutrition and under nutrition refer to effects on people of not haring enough food.



Hunger is cause of instability within societies, In order to feed themselves and their families, people will fight each other, steal form one another, even kill their neighbors just to get some food to survive. In addition to destablizing regions, war is a main cause of mass migration and refugee crisis. A lock of food may cause people not having enough food, and not having enough food may cause disease. Thus, people will die and the disease may cross border to another countries. Therefor, one country's problem may suddenly become another country's problem as in the cause of hundreds of thousands of refugees going to Germany because they have no enough food and are running from war in Syria.



So, what is my responsibility as a global citizen? I think all I have to do is to put followings into practice. First of all, we can donate some food to food banks or other charities. Bust why don't we don't donate money to charities? Because we donate money to charities, the money may be taken away by some higher level people! Second, we can hold some jumble sales. To do this, we can raise some money, and the food can be donated to food bank. Third, we ask our university to gold some relevant activities, such as the 30 Hour Famine. To do this, we can let a lot of student know what is world hunger, and what is their responsibilities. The last is we have to prevent the land from being destroyed. What's more, we need to sort our garbage.Hence, if we have a fertile land, we can grow more food!



Although each person's power is very little, but if we work together, the power will be gathered. Therefore, we will be stronger! Ultimately, let's put those into practice, do our best, and we will solve the problem of world hunger. Let's work together, and stop the hunger now, before it was too late. Thank you for your listening.
