Final answer:
Hunger led many individuals throughout history to take extreme measures against rules or standards, such as during the Siege of Samaria and the Jamestown colony's Starving Time, where people even resorted to cannibalism.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hunger has been a compelling force leading many individuals to act against rules or their own standards. Several historical accounts illustrate this dire influence of hunger. In the narrative from LibreTexts, a man is killed by a lion for eating bread and drinking water in a place where forbidden, misled by a false prophetic promise. During the Siege of Samaria, as described in 2 Kings 6:24-29, a severe famine leads to a mother supposed to protect her son, agreeing to eat her own child. The hunger-induced desperation also manifests during the Jamestown colony's Starving Time (1609-1610), where colonists, supposed to cooperate for survival, resorted to cannibalism out of unendurable hunger.
