Terrorism - Stop the War and Feed the Starving :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

Stop the War and Feed the Starving It is difficult to grasp, and thus care about, millions of wad ravenous in a far away country. Maybe it could help us to fathom this if we were able to imagine one person starving, our own self perhaps. What does it encounter like to be hungry, really hungry, for many days? And many weeks? And longer. Its easy to imagine the beginning symptoms like weakness, shakiness, irritability, fatigue. But what happens when those arent remedied by food? Is it painful when the organs begin shrinking as they do in starvation? It must be. And as the immune system loses force, how does one endure the cramping, combined with the weakness, combined with the lumbering body temperature, combined with the overall bloating as the body retains fluid? Can you imagine yourself feeling that terrible? Now expand it to your family. Your daughter. Your tiny son whose mickle is distending and who cries with headaches. Your grandmother, coughing and scared and silent. Wh at would it feel like to watch a toddler, your toddler, weaken and beg for what you cant give? So were not at 7.5 million people yet. Were at about 10. And already the misery is profound and unbelievable. Now add all your closest friends to those ariditying, and you not being able to help them or be helped by them. And you watch the gaunt stares as the body fails because its cells havent the nutrients they need to make the brain work well. Add your neighbors, all of them. All of them. Are we at 100 people yet? Millions left to go. Farther than the eyes could see, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of weakening hungry people who want something that exists in great abundance all over the world - food. And if hunger and its related illnesses is bad enough and already hard to wrap your mind around, add the other unthinkables that the Afghani families are enduring today, right this second as you read this. No running water, no toilets, huddled in refugee camps miles and miles lon g, And its getting cold. Its going to get really, really cold and wet heavy snows are coming. And youre so terribly hungry. Imagine the stench and disgusting danger of raw sewage, of the infectious diarrhea that comes from that. And there are already dead bodies to be dragged away to be buried or burned by weak hungry men.
