Analyzing Singer's Argument

Decent Essays
I agree with Singer’s argument. Singer’s idea is people in the business world should more consider public interest rather than one’s interest, which could lead to “sustainable economic” (Singer). Most students believed they can do well in school, so they also can do well in the real business world. Then, they will realized the real one is some kind different than what they are thinking about after they enter it. In there, we cannot do whatever we want. As my experience, when I disliked someone in school, I can choose don’t talk to her/him or stay away from her/him. In the real world, in most of the time, I cannot do that and even I need to be nice with her/him whatever he/she is reasonable or unreasonable. As ethical, we believe that we can

    Callarman’s argument is the most accurate view of Into The Wild and Chris McCandless’s decision. Chris made an ignorant decision based on his current feelings and how his parents treated him. You can’t succeed in the future with your actions at this point and time, but you sure can throw out your future with your current actions. And that is exactly what Chris did, he went from graduating from Emory University, to moving into the Alaskan wilderness and dying. He had the foundation of his life set, ready to take on the next step of his life, but he believed that the wild would hold something valuable for him to find.…

In a world that is a America that is a dystopia having restrictions on knowledge and embracing violence where reading books is strictly prohibited.

    You stressed that students should avoid majoring in business for a multitude of reasons, all of which were to protect the student themselves. Due to the exceptionally large number of graduates with business degrees, you inferred that business majors live a lower quality of life, and that it would be difficult for an individual entering the business world to separate themselves from the crowd. In addition, you stated that those who major in business do not end up working in a career where they make as much money as they originally expected. Lastly, you suggested that students majoring in business do not learn anything that holds significant value, compared to other majors, and that students can learn the “skills” they acquire in business school simply by working for the corporate world. Although these are all strong points, there is actually a plethora of opportunities in the workforce for graduates with business degrees.…

    I believe that while Peter Singer calls on all human beings to become true global citizens, Thomas Hurka attempts to justify the importance of one’s own cultural and national members over that of non-nationals. Personally, my moral beliefs coincide with Peter Singer and I was able to personally connect with his essay, mainly because my father experienced the terror of 1971 in East Bengal, the country that is now known as Bangladesh. It is from the experiences of that time, which my father and many of his peers have told me about, and my experiences in Bangladesh that have caused me to gradually develop my view that each and every human being is responsible for each other. It is actually my ambition in life to directly improve the lives of people in unfortunate circumstances through medical care and education throughout the world. This is what I believe is my moral obligation and what I owe to the world and God.…

    While Singer’s solution giving away all of our luxuries, it is unattainable for most people because of how large of a role luxuries play in our lives. While it is definitely true that we should be taking away more money from our luxuries in order to support people who are in need, completely eliminating all of our luxuries to the vast extent that Singer suggests isn’t practical because it would force us to lose our identities. For example, eliminating all of luxuries would mean that we end our support for a lot of our culture. Cultural creations, such as music, literature, and film can be considered as luxuries since they aren’t essential in order for us to function. Despite the fact that we use these pieces of culture to define ourselves,…

In the beginning of the reading, Winner introduces argument in a way that persuades reader in his topic of discussion.

    Culturally relevant teaching is addressed in this module. The definition and practical application of culturally relevant teaching serve as the essential questions. In defining culturally relevant teaching, I begin with the work of Gloria Ladson-Billings. Ladson-Billings (1995) suggests that cultural relevant pedagogy consists of three elements: the “ability to develop students academically, willingness to nurture and support cultural competence, and the development of a sociopolitical or critical consciousness” (p. 483). By addressing pedagogical implications, Ladson-Billings is able to situate her argument for culturally relevant teaching in the domain of everyday classroom teaching practice.…

    Central Theme The author’s main argument in this very interesting book is to analyze what is the right thing to do—as the title indicates. As I read the book, I came to the conclusion that there is no direct answer as to what is the right thing to do, even through all of his examples and references of moral philosophers. It was up to me, the reader, to decide—based on my moral intellectual self—what the right thing to do is. Sandel overall taught us that justice comes in different shapes and sizes and it is perceived differently by everyone, by every country, by every generation, by every society, etc.…
