Physical and Behavioral Responses to Starvation and Famine in Warsaw Gh

Physical and behavioural Responses to Starvation and Famine in Two PopulationsIntroductionFamine is an issue in which food and resources are inaccessible and the majority of apopulation is endangered (Shipton, 1990). When applied to famishment this definition is accuratewith one additional conceit starvation is the result of inaccessibility to resources. Many factorscontribute to the progression of shortage and the resulting starvation. One of the key factors toconsider is the delineation between naturally occurring and man-made starvation and famine.Naturally occurring famine is the result of agricultural or environmental causes such as lack ofrainfall or poor soil conditions. Man-made famine is the deliberate denial of food to peoplewith the aim of starving them into submission (De Waal 199177). Man-made famine and theresulting starvation will be the basis for this newspaper.The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the physical and behavioralresponses to starvation and famine in residents of the capital of Poland Ghetto during Nazi occupationand the citizens of famine-prone areas of the West Afri burn Sahel region. The location of the tworegions discussed can be found on the maps (Figure 1 and Figure 2) at the end of this paper. Theconnections and contrasts of the two populations will be demonstrated through review andpresentation of models from literature, a brief background on the populations to be discussed,examples of the populations as they fit the models and a brief discussion of limitations andopportunity for further study.Literature Review Physical and Behavioral Response ModelsPhysical ResponseThe comparison between the Warsaw Ghetto and the West African Sahel region can bestbe exa... ...ntainerInstitute, United States Army.Tushnet L. 1966.
