In this article, I will begin by explaining Singer's utilitarian argument in "The Life You Can Save" regarding the obligation of wealthy nations to give in order to reduce global poverty. . Second, I will analyze an objection to Singer's argument that opposes charity. Third, after examining the objection to Singer's argument, I will present Singer's remarkable response. Finally, having provided both an objection to Singer's argument and a refutation of it, I will offer my own view on whether Singer's refutation is convincing or not. In discussing Singer's argument, it is important to explain his definition of global poverty. Singer clearly states that extreme poverty is “not only a condition of unmet material needs” but also a “degrading state of helplessness” (6). Singer's argument states that citizens of rich countries behave wrongly because they do not help end the poverty that they know exists in poor countries. It posits that the ordinary person has the ability to point the finger at others, when they should nevertheless do whatever they can. Singer's argument is a direct critique of a capitalist system where extreme wealth coexists with extreme poverty. For Singer, the ethical call to contribute to the eradication of poverty rests on one person's ability to help another. In his full argument, Singer considers three premises. The first is common knowledge that suffering and death are intrinsically evil. Singer's argument for the Golden Rule is summed up in this premise: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (16). No sane person would like to suffer; it is therefore purely moral to help those who suffer. Singer argues in the following premise that individuals have... middle of paper ... conditions of poverty could be saved. It is often said that people are generally motivated by self-interest. Singer believes that the existence of altruism in society is higher than most people realize. Therefore, if people prioritize this altruism, their lives will be more satisfying and just. This brings me to the question of whether material goods are almost as important as saving a child from death? Singer's interpretation of morality and measures to reduce global poverty reflects a truly utilitarian perspective. In deciding between what is right and what is wrong, he often considers what people should do. He recognizes that deep down, people understand that the honest truth is always the one they would rather not do out of selfish desires. Singer's novel is a paradigm of moral philosophy because it is well supported, engaging, and is an important topic in today's society..
