The Singer Solution To World Poverty


Today in class we pieced together an essay by Peter Singer about what he thinks our role in the world should be (pretty much directly addressing both our essential questions). The activity in class focused mostly on identifying the way Singer uses critical thinking/universal standards to construct a convincing argument.
Tonight, on your blog, discuss your personal reaction to Singer's essay. Try to employ the same organized thinking, consult the handout on how to organize an essay response, and include at least one direct quote from Singer's essay. Then, browse classmates' (could be from my other soph. class too) pages and comment on one of their responses. If there's already a comment there, find a page without one.
Extra Challenge: Cruise the web for other blogs and/or websites that address these issues in any way, post the hyperlink and include a brief description of the site/blog. Also, make sure you've added a link list to your sidebar with all your classmates' blogs.
