India's plan on food insecurity

Main idea: The main idea about this article is that India has done a great job in increasing the food production. By increasing the food production, it will decrease the chance of having food insecurity in India. Bias: The bias of this article is that, the author is taking the Indian citizen's side, because this article is written on “The Times of India”. Also by writing well about the Indian farmer, so it will encourage and gain more trust from the Indian farmers. Also it this article points out the bad things the Indian government is missing, or not doing. So basically, this article is kinda attacking the government. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to encourage the farmer to work harder and gain more trust from the citizen. As an Indian, a person should know that some governors are corrupted, and writing an article like this, the Indian government might gain trust from their citizen. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-12-26/india/36007226_1_foodgrains-production-food-security-assocham-study

Ideas

Fighting for food insecurity. The main contain of this article is that how the law is making the issue becomes harder to solve. - THis article takes the stand on the poor people. - this article tries to persuade the reader to revolt against the government (im not sure about this, but its my perspective.) What is their argument I dont actually get this article but i think that the corruption is the main reason led to the food insecurity. The idea of this article is that making the reader hope that by revolting, it should make the government to think about what they are doing to their citizens.

Comparison between UK, USA and India, Pakistan

Write and post a comparison on what food insecurity means to countries like USA and the UK against countries like India and Pakistan. Food insecurity means that people won't know when the next meal will come. That is not the not big problem for the countries like USA and the UK because they have their own governments to back up. In the video that I saw in the class, it showed that people in USA and the UK have the shelters and people cook food for the homeless. The main reason why there is food insecurity in USA and the UK is the affect of economic. In India or Pakistan, the meaning of food insecurity means that the people won't know when their next meal is, but the thing is that the Indian government and Pakistan government couldn't support their people. Pakistan is the place that has lots of disaster and low economic; therefore food insecurity will occur faster and last longer.

My perspective on the video

The video made me felt that it is telling a hero story, and the moral of this story is that everyone can help the poor and there are many ways to help them. Krishnan is also just a normal person but he has a big heart that is full of kindness. He quit his job and begins feeding the homeless and mentally-disabled in his hometown since 2002. I think that no one will ever give up their job to help poor people around them, but Krishnan did it. He showed me that there are many ways to help the poor; I don’t have to donate money to help the poor. I can just cook foods and give it to the poor in my hometown. I guess before thinking about helping the poor around the world I just begin it in my hometown. I actually felt very lucky that I have food to eat everyday, therefore I have to be happy with whatever I have right now.

Food security:my perspective on the topic

This is my perspective on the food security. I think that the people have low income or people live in any areas that don’t get support by government. Let’s take Pakistan as an example, the Pakistanis live in an area that has disasters and conflict. Also government could not give more support because their economic is not strong. More and more people are getting affected by this issue, roughly around millions around the world. This is a major problem because it can bring down world population, creates conflicts for resources or even decreases the amount of world food (other resources). A big solution can be solving by doing large scale agriculture. Therefore more foods will be produced, and less people will die by hunger. UN can take part in this issue by making plans that help the countries which are having this issue. The more countries involve solving this problem; food security will not last long.
