Famine, Affluence, and Morality by Peter Singer

Argue against the thesis of the author. 

Singers three premises look like this: 1) If it is within your power to prevent something very bad from happening, and it won’t cost much, then you should do it 2) Absolute poverty is a very bad thing 3) Affluent individuals can prevent absolute poverty. Therefore, affluent individuals are morally obligated to prevent absolute poverty.

Raise substantial criticisms of that author’s argument and consider objections to the argument. Validity and Soundness. 

Consider a counter response to the argument.
