Famine and MigrationSummary:In the article, " Food carcity and migration : an overview" the author Arup Maharatna discussed about food's crisis that makes people leave their home for a better life. He started first by explaining how famine is doing harm to people mostly in Asia and Africa. However, human being is constantly trying to look for a better life; so famine is not making things easier. He pointed out the cause of famine as a decline of food availibility that is causing death of thousand of people per year. He refered back to the past where people used to traval long distance in their mapless migration in order to run away from starvation. The consequence is that Africa is losing intellectual, talented and competent people because most of them want to migrate in a better standard of living. He concluded by pointed out the worse thing in Africa is thta famine is combined with civil war that people cannot stand. Analysis: The author used a lot of example to comapare famine in the past and now that makes him credible enough. He also stated clear points that were well supported as well. The only problem was he did not talk in details about migration and where they are going. I just wonder whether or not people who migrate are having a better life? However I liked when he said: "others prefer to live the "worse" in their home instead of having a btter life elsewhere." That was touchy. Reflection: This article completed a lot my preview one because it helped me to know in details another consequence of famine that is migration. It was relevant and very helpful. Maharatna, Arup.
