Why? When I was told that I had to write a paper concerning world hunger, of course, my mind went “Well, what countries are the hungriest?” Sudan was near the top of the list. We also got to choose from a very long list of “factors”. Government stuck out to me as the factor that I wanted to choose because I am very interested in government. I want to pursue legal and political studies in my higher education, so I saw no other option other than government as my “factor”
Background knowledge/skills: The background knowledge that I had about Sudan’s food security and government situation was little to none. However, I possess fair writing skills/abilities that were very useful throughout.
Research Processes: The research was done a multitude of ways. Online libraries, encyclopedias, documents, readings, and statistical findings were the main way that information was found. For the Challenges of Global Poverty class, the research was done on the EdX, MIT online coursework in readings and videos.
Quick Reflection: The why aspect was very simple, and very truthful as I enjoy learning about legal and political issues. Also, Sudan made for a great case study because it was suffering so largely in both food security and governmental issues. The background knowledge about the government/food security situation in Sudan was absolutely zero. However, I do enjoy English class and possess a fair amount of writing skills. The research was almost all completed online using the preceding ways.
Sudan fit well with your areas of interest too!
