Question

Topic: In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” an article that appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Peter Singer calls attention to the urgent need for food and medicine in many parts of the world. Singer argues that moral people should donate all money not needed for the basic requirements of life to overseas aid organizations such as UNICEF or Oxfam America. He writes, “The formula is simple: whatever money you’re spending on luxuries, not necessities, should be given away.”

Essay Question: After your basic needs are met, should you give all of your luxury money to charity? If not, what is the moral difference between you and Bob?

Remember, in Bob’s situation, Singer is arguing the moral imperative is to save the life of the child. Therefore, every time you choose to spend your money on a luxury item instead of donating to charity, you are choosing to save the Bugatti over the child. Your paper must include a short description of the Bob and the Bugatti scenario and explain what Singer is trying to demonstrate with it. If you agree with Singer, you need to explain why you believe you should save the boy on the tracks every time we can. If you disagree with Singer, you need to explain why luxury items are more important than helping children in need.

The moral question is valid and has infinite answers. The various people think in various ways possible. Some of them have declared that they have to work throughout their lives for the after retirement plans and have to save for their own lives and loved one's security. If they donate all of the savings for the future, it can cause even more poverty, and the effect will have lasted over society. This part of the population thinks that equalism in society and financial factors cannot be achieved by donation. It is not the appropriate way of balancing the world business or poverty situation. 
 Peter Singer has published his article mentioning different types of situations and indicated the moral diplomacy working among us. The poverty lines and luxury lines are very close, and the balance structure can be made by the members of society itself (Singer).
