Assignment

Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper about world hunger. Find articles that specifically touch on population growth, urbanization, or energy consumption and their effects on world hunger. Are the demographics of a region or country a helpful resource for showing the effects of world hunger? What environmental effects from population growth may lead to world hunger?

Reflect on selected articles from a magazine, a journal, or a news feature that provide an in-depth examination of the topic(s) above and have been published within the last 6 months. (You may use two or more related articles.) Each short paper must contain the following:

Briefly summarize the article(s).

Relate the article(s) to course topics, explain why the article(s) is of interest, indicate your agreement or disagreement, and provide reasons for your opinion.

Respond to the article(s), explaining in detail the action (e.g., congressional, community, or personal) that should take place to address the environmental topic discussed.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines (cite the article(s) used, including the author, article title, magazine title, date, and page numbers).
