De Waal readings and in Trost
Paper instructions:
Short Writing Assignment 2: Reflection paper, 4 pages. In the De Waal readings and in Trost’s book, we have become more familiar with famine and famine relief. Many people believe in the phrase “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will eat for life.” However, in times of crisis, this may not be possible. With a close reading of the two texts, what are your beliefs on hunger relief programs? Who or what institutions should be overseeing this? In what ways can they work? In what ways can they be subverted? Using a close reading from the texts,
provide examples to support your thoughts.
