How is relief from famine and severe hunger accomplished? Why does food aid sometimes aggravate poverty and hunger?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Before the 1970s, it was not illegal to dispose of hazardous chemicals in unlined pits, and many companies did so.
 
  Should they be held responsible today for the contamination those wastes are causing, or should the government (taxpayers) pay for the cleanup? Give a rationale for your position.

Answer to Question 1

Food aid is vital in saving lives where famines occur. Food aid is a buffer against famine. Food aid may sometimes aggravate poverty and hunger by undercutting the local farming economy and result in more people being dependent upon food aid.

Answer to Question 2

If a student proposes that companies should not be held responsible for contamination caused by legal disposal practices, ask about who benefited from those practices. While the consumer might have benefited by lower prices, the company would have also benefited from higher profits.
If a student proposes that companies should be held responsible for contamination caused by legal disposal practices, ask about why the consumers who benefited should not also pay. Additionally, the company may have limited funds available for cleanup if it is to remain in business. What will happen to the community if jobs are lost and the taxes from the company disappear?
