Famine, Affluence,
and Morality
Group 7:

Lung Sze Wing
Hung Fei Nga
- Peter Singer
Nationality: Australian
Main interest: Ethics
Well-known for his book
Animal Liberation(1975)
Singer expresses concern
over the fact that while
members of the more affluent
nations spend money on trivia,
people in the needier nations
are starving.
Purpose
1. Individual level
Give large sums to relief funds
Write parliamentary representatives demanding increased
government assistance
Do anything directed toward providing the refugees with
the means to satisfy their essential needs (E.G
demonstration, hold symbolic fasts)
2. Government level
Give the sort of massive aid that enable there refugees to survive for more than a
few days.
1. Britain
Aids < 1/30 the Anglo-French Concorde project
( £14,750,000 vs £440,000,000 )
2. Australia
Aids < 1/12 Sydney Opera House
3. ……
Total aids achieved only 14% of the needed
( £65,000,000 vs £464,000,000 )
Background
Setting: Bengal
(lack of food, shelter & medical care)
• Nothing unique except Its magnitude
• Had been given adequate publicity
Principle
Argument 1
• No account of proximity or distance
• Near to us : more likely we shall assist him
• Doesn't show we ought to help him rather than another who
happens to be further away.
Can't discriminate someone
because he's far away from
us
Instant Communication
Swift Transportation
Global Village
Argument 2
• No distinction between cases which I am the only person
who could possibly do anything and cases in which I am just
one among millions in the same position
Numbers lessen obligation :
‘one feels less guilty about
doing nothing
if one can point to others’
The drowning kid
Donating £5 to Bengal
Traditional Moral Categories –
Charity VS Duty
Charity Donation
‘It’s not thought that there
is anything wrong without
giving. ’
‘If you send them a check,
you will be “thanked” for
generosity. ’
Spend money on consumption
People do not feel ashamed
People buy new clothes
Not to keep warm but to look “well-dressed”
Not providing for any important need
‘Supererogatory’ : good to do, but not wrong to do.
The developed nations ‘enjoy to give money’
Duty Morally, prevent another person from starving
Wear our old clothes
Not be sacrificing anything significant
Give the money to famine relief

Australia Aids < 1/12 Sydney Opera House 3. …… Total aids achieved only 14% of the needed ( £65,000,000 vs £464,000,000 )
  • 5. Background Setting: Bengal (lack of food, shelter & medical care) • Nothing unique except Its magnitude • Had been given adequate publicity
  • 7. Argument 1 • No account of proximity or distance • Near to us : more likely we shall assist him • Doesn't show we ought to help him rather than another who happens to be further away. Can't discriminate someone because he's far away from us
  • 9. Argument 2 • No distinction between cases which I am the only person who could possibly do anything and cases in which I am just one among millions in the same position Numbers lessen obligation : ‘one feels less guilty about doing nothing if one can point to others’
  • 11. Donating £5 to Bengal
  • 12. Traditional Moral Categories – Charity VS Duty Charity Donation ‘It’s not thought that there is anything wrong without giving. ’ ‘If you send them a check, you will be “thanked” for generosity. ’
  • 13. Spend money on consumption People do not feel ashamed People buy new clothes Not to keep warm but to look “well-dressed” Not providing for any important need
  • 14. ‘Supererogatory’ : good to do, but not wrong to do. The developed nations ‘enjoy to give money’
  • 15. Duty Morally, prevent another person from starving Wear our old clothes Not be sacrificing anything significant Give the money to famine relief
