Peter Singer and Altruism 伦理学小品(4)
As a final point, I will extend Singer's principle by enlisting a few things he asked people to do. As I mentioned previously, Singer says that there is something being distorted within how we draw the line between charity and duty (Singer, 1972). Though he had not given any answers in the essay, this question remains unsolved for us, waiting for a final answer. Secondly, Singer points out that it is everyone's responsibility to distribute their money to save people in developing countries. (Singer, 1972)
In conclusion, I believe that by showing Singer's two moral principles, there are no excuses for people making any justification for not assisting people living under the condition of poverty. Though these arguments are very eloquent, I consider that instead of giving people direct requirements, we need to reconstruct our current moral values.
