5. Kenya Argument Open Response
This open response will be a bit different than the ones that you are typically used to writing.
Here, I am going to give you a topic that people generally disagree on, and you will have to
choose a side, and argue why you have chosen the side of the argument that you have. You must
give examples and details to backup your decision in this 2 paragraph open-response. Having
just read an article about poverty in Kenya, we understand that Kenya has chronic food shortages
that affect 2-3 million people each year. Within the past few years, the United States has
provided food valued at $150 million to the people of Kenya, as well as hundreds of millions of
dollars to other countries around the world as well. Take a side: Do you feel that the United
States should be giving money to other countries or should they use that money for things within
our own country? Convince me people!
