Overview:

In "The Singer Solution to World Poverty," Peter Singer presents several specific and practical ways we could help eradicate (or at least mitigate) the problem of world poverty. Singer relies primarily on hypothetical situations to present his argument that we all could be giving much more than we currently do.

Writing Assignment:

Write an argumentative essay in which you discuss the efficacy (or lack thereof) of Singer's over-arching premise that Americans need to donate much more to charitable causes such as UNICEF. In doing so, you should consider the following questions: Do you find Singer's hypothetical examples convincing? Can you refute his hypothetical situations (Dora's and Bob's)? Are the phone numbers Singer provides for his readers as well as Singer's estimates on how much money households should donate yearly an effective strategy?
