Famine Affluence And Morality By Peter Singer Summary

Improved Essays
In the two articles, “Famine, Affluence, And Morality” by Peter singer and “ World Hunger And Moral Obligation: The Case Against Singer” by John Arthur Talks generally about ethics, To be more specific, they talk about the self of need of what is the moral right thing to do and the duty of what is someone 's job as a human to do for others. Both have different arguments and to get straight to the point, Singer believe that the right moral thing to do is help others when you can regardless of the situation or distance you are from. We must take away more bad from the situation and leave more good. This does not mean everyone should have the same amount of good but as long as we take away the bad, we can all leave it fair for everyone with no …show more content…
What I mean by this the fact how America do not seem to try to help the poor and middle class but just let the elites get richer. They say is fair how the economy is but the reality is starting with a million dollars is not the same as someone who never seen a million dollars. Not many elites in America contribute enough to help the poor from hunger, shelter and affording medicare. The idea of what Arthur is bringing of thinking about yourself first and you 're not obligated to help anyone because you 're entitled to your own self rights to choose. If the elites has enough money, they should pay more tax than someone who makes less than 50,000 dollars a year. The middle class could barely survive with minimum wage and the gap between rich and poor is making the middle class extinct. As a community we must rise together with no one left behind. Like Singer said not everyone should have all the good like everyone having a lamborghini, or everyone having the same food, or even same type of house. Instead let 's make sure our people do have these supplies and not suffering. The thought of America being a selfish country is not really hard to believe with the fact they barely contribute their money around the world. Ignorance is all over the world, and is not like we not aware of all the problem. People knows the problem but chooses to ignore them. They think is best to avoid in their favor of not sacrificing anything to help

    We can assume that Zell weighs each moral consideration on a scale and determines which has the best consequences that put happiness over pain with everyone’s wellbeing taken into consideration as equals. By using this Utilitarian method he has defined the limits of generosity to be much greater than that of Peter Singer. Zell would use his scale mechanism and if it’s in favor of donating a kidney, you should donate your kidney. Singer in his paper ‘The Famine Relief Argument’ he argue that the bare minimum generosity requires is 10 percent of one’s income. He states that this is an ethical standard and we are doing wrong by contributing anything less. First, let us define who Singer deems obligated to this minimum standard. He defines a term called ‘absolute poverty’ which should not be confused with relative poverty. Absolute poverty is life at the very margin of existence. Individuals that live in absolute poverty are severely deprived humans in categorizes such as literacy, life expectancy, nutrition, and living conditions that are unimaginable. In comparison, relative poverty is found in industrialized nations when poor citizens are defined by the wealth enjoyed by their neighbors. Another term defined that will aid in this explanation is what we call absolute affluence. Absolute affluence is those who have more wealth than they need to provide themselves with all the basics for life. This type of person you would find shopping for preference, taste, and style not for hunger, warmth, and shelter. Singer indicates that people of absolute affluence are under the ethical standard to give to the absolute…

    However, he fails to classify it as the duty of justice as Narveson did. The moral perspective is lacking in Singer’s assertions. This could be a trick used to convince the audience to give voluntarily to others. Therefore, it does not promote his purport for enforcement of feeding as Narveson's uses. Narveson thinks differently from Singer by considering people’s voluntary choices of giving as morally permissible and dependence on their goodwill. When an individual chooses to sacrifice his or her luxuries to give as charity, it is morally fine. The person giving should not have any neglected obligations such as family. On the lowest level, the family should be comfortable in terms of getting basic needs. Besides, an individual is allowed to choose not to give, which also considered fine. Narveson’s argument is that people should sacrifice for charities just as they can make personal decisions to give or not to do os. Hence, an individual decision is ideal. Narveson argues that people who fail to give willfully should not be seen as having done any wrong. They must not be forced to give their money to charity and taxation. However, there is a contradiction to Singers argument in “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”. He as a utilitarian has no reason in principle to argue that it is not right to force people to sacrifice for charities. The rule of forcing individuals to…

    In Garrett Hardin’s “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor”, Hardin argues about “a world that must solve real and pressing problems of overpopulation, hunger and moral duty.” Hardin sets the stage by first giving his analysis on the structure of the world today by describing the earth as a lifeboat rather than a spaceship. He then dives into how population control, the tragedy of the commons and immigration are some of the main reasons for the problems we have today. Hardin argues that simply helping people and giving charitably will not solve these problems. Peter Singer, in “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” seemingly goes against Hardin by saying that “if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby…

    The book Enough: Why The World’s Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty by Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman discusses the causes and solutions to hunger in Africa. The book starts out with the story of Norman Borlaug, a plant pathologist, who was working to create a rust-resistant plant. He eventually created seeds that were very successful in Asia, helping to lift people out of starvation. Because of this, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. However, Borlaug’s seeds did not make it to Africa, where many people were starving. One solution to hunger in Africa would be to take away subsidies from American and European farmers. The subsidies given to these countries farmers puts African farmers at a disadvantage because they do not make as much off of the…

    An individual who donates money to a charitable organization, often will not directly see the results of their donation that are given to hungry children on different continents. This affects the obligation that an individual will feel towards the less unfortunate, as they feel less connected and concerned about those suffering many miles away from them. Peter Singer, in his essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” criticizes the effects that distances can have on an individual’s charitable donations. Singer argues that just because we can see one individual suffering in front of us does not mean that one “ought to help him rather than another who happens to be further away” (Singer, 405). To Singer, it makes no moral difference whether one decides to help a child in their town or a child in South Sudan. This thinking can be used to justify focusing on the suffering of an individual in one’s community, over greater suffering in another country, even though Singer believes that “we cannot discriminate against someone merely because he is far away from us” (Singer, 405). Singer seems to be suggesting that all citizens of affluent nations have an obligation even to those that are far away from us, and that they can not be discriminated against just because of their…

    Peter Singer identifies the moral problem in society and the lack of individual participation in global affairs. More specifically, a lack of interest and contribution in the plight of the world’s most destitute and unfortunate. In Singer’s argument, he brings up several points in the defense of his position: proximity and quantity of possible contributors.…

    In this paper I will reconstruct Singer’s argument as well as argue why his argument is unsound. In Singer’s paper, Famine, Affluence and Morality, he argues that any kind of suffering from lack of food, healthcare and shelter is a bad thing. He further argues that if we have the ability to prevent something bad from happening, that it is our duty as moral beings to prevent suffering unless we have to sacrifice something of significant moral importance. In class we called it the prevent suffering principle. An example that Singer gives is of the prevent suffering principle is to imagine a young child drowning in a shallow pond. He goes on to state that you have the ability to save the child but you have to sacrifice getting your clothes dirtied…

    In Famine, Affluence, and Morality by Peter Singer, he argues that we are morally obligated to donate as much money to charity as we can to help limit poverty in the world. Singer explains that there are many people in the world suffering from poverty, and living very poor-quality lives as a result of poverty. He argues that poverty is morally wrong because of the suffering it promotes. Singer believes it is the moral obligation of humans to donate as much as they can to help limit the suffering of the poor in the world, without sacrificing anything moral comparability. In this paper, I will argue that Singer uses vague language to describe what the line is for moral comparability. Singer does not provide criteria to decide on what is morally comparable. Also, I will deny Singer’s conclusion that we are obligated to donate as much as we can to help end poverty. I will argue that donating to charity is supererogatory, which means that donating to charity is not obligated, but instead a positive thing to do. I will also deny his second premise which states that it is our moral responsibility to prevent bad things from happening to other people.…

    The freedom to prosperity is highly valued in any society because we are driven by characteristics of Natural Selection where only the best of the best survive. The best way American society has made humanitarian changes across the world is by the powerful speaking up and encouraging others to make an impact. The freedom to do this is where we find the reason that Singer’s Solution would not work. If this was normal for all prosperous people, there would not be as much attention involved, but if it is forced there will not be as much of a will to do it. This would also be a factor in raising a generation of complacent individuals. Looking through the lense of Utilitarianism, we would be achieving the best we could for the most amount of people. Which in the Utilitarianism thought Singer would be an example of the philosophy at work, but Utilitarianism is not alway perfect. The American people specifically wouldn’t necessarily benefit directly by giving money to developing nations which means that even though we would be helping many people, it would not be making a large impact. Basic necessities in developing countries are minimal, but it is the question of if the American people are willing to lose some of their freedom to help…

    Everyday millions of people around the world suffer in circumstances, in which they could die from lack of proper care and resources. In Famine, Affluence, and Morality, Peter Singer acknowledges this issue facing humanity and argues for the moral obligation to give large amounts of money to those in need. Singer believes that all who are able should be giving up many, if not all of their luxuries to help give the less fortunate their necessities. I will begin by summarizing the argument that Singer dictates in his article and then explain my reasoning for believing his notions to be sound and valid.…

    In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer discusses the moral obligation of humans to prevent bad things from happening. In particular, Singer focuses on the prevention of the famine in East Bengal during November 1971 where many people were dying from poverty. Singer argues that since global poverty may be inhibited through charitable donations, then individual people ought to be morally obligated to donate what Singer defines as their surplus of money to charities that will aid impoverished nations. Singer writes his article in the format of a thought experiment, in which he presents a number of generally agreeable premises that lead up to his conclusion which is to donate as much money to charity as what Singer determines is reasonable.…

    Poverty, poor, and overpopulation are becoming major issues in today 's society. As time goes by, it becomes awfully clear that these issues are problems we must deal with. While many want to address and solve these issues, there tends to be a divide on how to do so. There are many papers available concerning this problem. The two I find to have the strongest arguments are actually quite contradicting. First was Garret Hardin’s essay “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor” where he argues that we should not aid the poor. On the other side, Peter Stinger makes a convincing case in his essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” arguing that it is our moral obligation to help the poor.…

    In his essay, “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”, Peter Singer begins with the assumption that famine should be eradicated, based upon the generally wide held principle that the suffering created by lack of food is bad. He then sets up the general basis for his argument which is: “if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable importance, we ought, morally, to do it” (Singer 231). From this general idea, Singer outlines the reasons why it is a person’s moral duty to prevent famine and how a person should help alleviate famine, all of which can be backed by the theory of utilitarianism.…

    Life You Can Save Argument

    • 1197 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Peter Singer’s main philosophy is that no child or adult living in poor countries should die due to a lack of fresh water, food or basic health and medical needs. He gives examples like the drowning child to make people aware that, if it is in your power to prevent something bad from happening without sacrificing anything as valuable or important, then it is wrong not to do so. Mr. Singer feels that people that live and receive beyond their basic needs should contribute to aid agencies. Singer believes that spending extra money on luxuries while 10 million children are dying due to poverty is just utterly and morally erroneous. Thus, John Arthur is also a utilitarian and believes that people should contribute to aid agencies that will stop unfortunate people from dying each year due to poverty. However, Mr. John Arthur has a very different approach; believing that every person has a right to their entitlement and earnings. Mr. John believes that moral codes are created and that it is not in human nature to give aid to others. Mr. John believes that Mr. Singer’s idea would backfire due to the following reasons: disincentive work, social conflict, guilt which would result in declination of contribution. I agree with John Arthur about the idea that people would give less to charity if they went by Peter Singer’s moral ethic code, of ought to help other if you are meeting your basic needs. Most people, especially in today’s society, feel they are entitled to their…
