The society keep introducing new and better ways of living. Each passing day new tools are been innovated to meet the activities of human existence, this in return has escalated the wants of man. Some of the basic needs has become wants because of the luxury that comes with it, let's take for example house that is meant to be the most affordable basic need of humans is getting even more expensive as new and modern patterns is becoming rampant same thing goes to clothing because the fashion industry are also making their designs look more colourful thereby going for more expensive materials which in turn affects the cost of production and increase in price for the final consumers.

Hunger on the other hand has also increased because the cost of meeting the basic needs of human existence requires extra hustle and more innovative calculations. As humans try to strike balance between what the need and what the wants the proportion to which comes first is getting even more confusing. Feeding now has become another course on its own because even the working class are having issues striking this balance. Making the right decision on which comes first can be a way to reduce the pressure that comes with living in the 21st century era.

I think that the concept of hunger and unending wants apply mainly in underdeveloped and developing countries. I doubt that the developed countries have this problem, because they have improved mechanized agricultural system, advanced technology to make life more meaningful for their citizens. Their GDP is higher than the underdeveloped countries, thereby making people that are living in the developed countries to be living a more comfortable lifestyle, because their economy is well planned. Unlike the underdeveloped countries were bad governance has made basic needs to became luxury. Ordinary citizens finds it difficult to afford basic needs.
