Interview Questions

ANDREA

In class we learned about not only what we thought about how the world needs saving but how others view the importance of its saving. Our assignment was to interview someone outside of class about our world's saving, however, I decided to go a little more specific on the matter and find out other peoples' thoughts on world hunger. The reason for this assignment was due to a book we're reading called Ishmael, which regards a gorilla teaching his human student to think more profoundly of what man has done to this world and if it's too late to turn things around. So in connections with the book, we are similarly asking and discussing with other beings about our world and if it needs any saving. Below is my interview with someone we can just call...Pepito.

A: Hello Sir, would you mind if I asked you some questions about the suffering of our world's hunger? It's for a project I'm doing at school.
Pepito: How many questions are you going to ask?
A: About five.
Pepito: Okay then, go ahead and ask.

A: "Okay, how do you think world hunger is caused?"
Pepito: "By the selfishness of man. What they should do is protect their resources on agriculture, instead of spending their resources on weapons, war, etc.. That is much less important."

A: "Are there any solutions for world hunger?"
Pepito: "Yes. People should preserve the environment, they should spend time cleaning rivers and presses so that with the clean water of the rivers we can clean the farmlands and produce better production. Also, by giving fair salaries for agriculture workers will improve the situation."

A: "If we consumed less would we better the situation?"
Pepito: "Definitely. Life on Earth depends on us and it's our responsibility to help humanity and the world."

A: "Should we pay more attention to world hunger?"
Pepito: "Yes of course, especially first world countries. They have abandoned third world countries when they need to help with the necessities they cannot fulfill so that their land one day becomes productive on its own."

A: "Is world hunger being affected by overpopulation?"
Pepito: "Yes and no. There's many mouths to feed and there are enough resources to provide for all people but people don't let the extra resources they have reach those countries that need them as well as they should and they rather waste them than give them away. Again, selfishness. To those who have the privilege of having their food shouldn't waste their food and take it for granted."
