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?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
