In regard to the first article concerning Hunger in Haiti, I do understand that hunger there is a significant problem, but the way the country historically has gone about solving the problem is not the right way to do it. As much as I hate to say it, if the woman there are worried about feeding their children than perhaps they shouldnt have as many children? Same pertains to the United States and a college education. Here we are pressured more than ever to get a college education but it is very expensive. So what is a woman in America supposed to do when her 5 children all want to go to college for 20,000$ a year? The solution is to think in advance. Morally it sounds terrible to say something like that I know, but as humans we cannot take on challenges that are bigger than ourselves if we have strong doubt that we cannot survive the struggle to reach the goals we set. The goals must be backed by something before they can be attained. In Haiti a woman should make sure that she can support 1 child, then if she can go on and support another. A person knows what kind of situation they are and what they are capable of doing and if they are in a very poor place with little resources bringing multiple people into the world only dispells the resources quicker. From a moral standpoint I believe we should help the people by teaching them how to grow or produce their own food rather than just giving it to them, but from a more realistic point we have limits in this world one way or the other and we cope with what we have and the key is planning for the future and learning from what you have...
