Peter Singer, the author of Famine, Wealth and Morality, is an Australian philosopher who wanted to end the suffering and death. Singer is not only a philosopher, he is also an advocate of utilitarianism. Singer talks about people suffering from death, lack of food and shelter, and poor medical care and how this can be prevented. He also argues that we could help prevent this from happening. Singer explains the problems happening around the world, but he particularly focuses on East Bengal because "constant poverty, a cyclone, and a civil war lasted at least nine years." millions of people as destitute refugees. After listing each way these problems could be avoided or not caused at all, he then explains how the United States and other countries are responding. I think if all the rich people put themselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty, they would want someone. to help them. I am very much in favor of this idea because it could possibly prevent the lack of food, shelter and medicine. Singer's second idea, "suffering and death from lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad." I agree with Singer that it's bad and I wish people didn't have to go through that. I feel like no one should go without food because millions of restaurants throw away food every day. The United States and other countries are very wasteful. I think we should give this food to those who live in poverty. Singer's third idea is that members of wealthy societies or groups should make it a point to donate money to prevent bad things from happening. Rich societies should help countries that live in poverty. Not only is it the moral thing to do, but it is also the Christian thing to do. Since I was little, I was taught to help others as best I could.
