“Many Americans See Religious Discrimination in U.S. “Facts About Hunger and Poverty in America.” Feeding America, Feeding America. “America's True History of Religious Tolerance.”, Smithsonian Institution, 1 Oct. It is estimated that human trafficking will surpass the sale of illegal drugs within the next few years. Many victims die from attack, abuse, STD’s, malnutrition, overdose or suicide. 50% are estimated to be children and there are 1.5 million victims in America. The average lifespan of a victim of human trafficking is 7 years. Although these issues are not as prominent or obvious today as they were in the past, it is still very much an issue.Ħ00,000 to 800,000 men, women, and children are bought and sold every year. 64% of adult Americans also say that Jews are discriminated against. Although some households are enrolled in food assistance programs, many of them are still food insecure, which means they have an uncertain or limited access to enough food to support a healthy life.Īccording to the Pew Research Center Survey, 82% of adult Americans say that Muslims are subject to discrimination in the United States today. Over 37 million Americans struggle with hunger, which includes more than 11 million children. Fear of their traffickers, language barriers, and fear of law enforcement are just a few reasons why most human trafficking stays unknown.Īlthough social issues such as hunger, religious persecution, and human trafficking are not as obvious today, they are still very prominent issues that people need to be better educated of. It is like a modern-day slavery, however it is fiercely under-exaggerated.
Every year, millions of men, women, and children are taken and forced into human trafficking. Human trafficking does not seem as prominent in this day and age, but it still is. Many people came from England to escape religious persecution in early America, and while they did find more freedom than in England, they still had to face persecution because of their religious beliefs. Even though people today are much more open and accepting of religious diversity, religious persecution still exists. Religious persecution is also a major issue in America today. Instead of donating food that cannot be sold in grocery stores, it is thrown away and wasted. People are greedy, and take more than they need and sometimes more than they want. Hunger, religious persecution, and human trafficking are some of the most important problems in America.Īlthough enough food is produced to feed everyone, millions of people go hungry every day. These pictures depict just a few of these issues. Instead, people stay ignorant of these issues when they should be doing everything in their power to help. Many people are privileged enough to not have to worry or even necessarily think about these issues. There are many social issues in America today that people know of, but do not realize how prominent they still are.
