Portfolio 2: Singer on Poverty

1. Are we obligated to give to those in need?

2. Would you give large amounts of money to help someone you don't know?

3. If we have problems at home, why should we concentrate on those far away?

4. If we were all equals and without greed, would we haveincentive to produce and prosper?

5. How hard is it to improve the little things for others (e.g. making a well)?

6. Does hearing about the suffering of others affect you?

7. If I don't help those who are suffering, am I insensitive?

8. Should I listen to what others dictate what is right or should I follow my intuition?

9. If hurting someone else is helping me, should I still help?

10.Instead of helping those in need, is it good enough to simply not hurt them?
