The Purpose of Government Regulation of Business. The U.S. government has set many business regulations in place to protect employees' rights, protect the environment and hold corporations accountable for the amount of power they have in a very business-driven society.
Here’s a list to some of the main causes
1. Poverty: the state of being poor. The most hungry people in the world are the ones that live in extreme poverty. Those mostly are smallholder farmers in developing countries.
2. Job instability: when someone lacks a job or is paid to little to live comfortably they may be facing hunger. They may not have enough money to eat so they only pay for what they have to instead of food for themselves. For example, a single parent paying rent and food for their kid but doesn’t have enough for themselves.
3. Lack of access to safe water: Without access to safe water, crops can’t grow properly, and people can’t survive or stay healthy.
4. Food shortages or scarce availability of food: Food from the previous harvest runs out and families cut back on meals. The more they run out the less they eat.
The Exxon Valdez was the oil tanker that caused one of the worst oil spills in history. It spilled nearly 11 million gallons of oil, injuring over 28 species of wildlife. It lead to the use and building of double-hulled ships.
