Also the check and balance system, the process in which bills become laws, and lastly the three branches of the government.

When most people hear civil war they think of adults fighting for power, but never how they get that power.

The fighting is caused by the lack of resources, but if the resources were not lacking and instead were used so that all people had access to the supplies less fighting would occur. For example, after not using the supplies resourcefully following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the government learned that they must “...encourage and ultimately require State and local governments to pre-contract for resources and commodities that will be critical for responding to all hazards” (“The Federal Response” par 5). The planned use of the resources ensures that the people will have what is essential at the correct time. This could ultimately fix the fight for scarce resources because the existing need for them is mitigated.

In a less-developed country that are already being helped with foreign aid, the governance and other aid programs must have their hands tied when it comes to penalized or sanctioned, because they are already in need, therefore corruption is created in those less-developed countries and hunger follows. There is the end of hungriness that is currently trying to be solved in the world, but there are still conflicts with political control that keeps the foreign aid to cause hunger in
