Singer explains the reasoning behind his thesis by providing the reader with a thought experiment from Unger's book "Live High and Let Die." In the experiment, a scenario is presented in which a child is on a railway track and a train is heading towards him and will surely kill him. Now a man named Bob has the opportunity to save the child. To do this, he would have to divert the train by flipping a switch. But in doing so, he would also ruin his precious and expensive Bugatti. The car is also an investment for your future. Singer correctly assumes that most people would condemn Bob for not sacrificing a material object in order to save a life. Singer claims that even though Bob is not responsible for putting the child in danger. He is nevertheless responsible for the child's death if he refuses to act. As a utilitarian philosopher, he tends to view the consequences of actions as the criterion for judging an act as moral or not. Here, Bob's action, or rather non-action, results in the child's death. In Singer's book, there is no intrinsic difference between being directly responsible for a situation and failing to prevent it from happening. However, Singer only uses this thought experiment to draw parallels between Bob's case and the spending habits of a modern consumer in a wealthy country. He states that "Bob's situation resembles that of people able but unwilling to donate..." Furthermore, he argues that there is no moral difference between the two scenarios. So, according to Singer's argument, splurging on luxury goods and not donating to charity is an immoral act. Having already condemned Bob's decision not to save the child's life, the reader has no choice but to accept P...... middle of paper ......n the confidence that people have in the financial capabilities of the company. Additionally, the implementation of this solution may have a detrimental effect on the economic structure of society. Money creation is a process of selling and buying. If we take away people's purchasing power, the economy will eventually suffer. a circle of difficulties: if large companies suffer from lack of sales, then their employees will suffer, which will decrease their financial well-being and they will have fewer resources to purchase products on the market and this process will continue; Singer could argue that this circle could eventually benefit all of humanity, as poverty as a whole could decrease. But the question remains; whether or not Singer's solution is practical in today's world, keeping in mind the human need for material gain?
