Foreign_Aid_Helping_

Foreign Aid Helping' Foreign aid programs that deal with hunger, don’t really deal with the heart of the problem. They just deal with the skin layer of it. Although they put a lot of money, time, and effort into helping the hungry, it is not that effective because they mostly deal with symptoms rather than cause. When I mention that I mean that they focus on famine, and famine is just the tip of the iceberg. People that suffer from famine, it is just another symptom of hunger. Another problem is that often- tied aid is set to a number of conditions. So lets say if I were to lend a poor man some money, then I could tell that man: in order for him to receive my money he has to do something for me, like give me his jacket, which isn’t really fair. The last problem that will be discussed is—there are too many political motives in bilateral aid, affects how food aid gets distributed and the governments also “helps” out on “helping solve hunger”. Whenever you see commercials on television about the starving people around the world, you always hear them use the word famine.
