“The Singer Solution to World Poverty”

World poverty has existed for many centuries and still exists today, gradually expanding and intensifying. This is the theme that Pete vocaliser, a professor of bioethics, calls attention to in his article The Singer answer to World Poverty. Singer claimed that the solution was simple whatever gold youre spending on luxuries, not necessities, should be given away. Considering Singers solution a controversial point arises between an idealistic, utopian, and morally ripe point of view and a realistic, pragmatic, and plausible point of view.Singers solution, although faultless and ethical, is not probable and thus would not be effective in curing adult male poverty. The few pros of Singers proposal are, at commencement glance, most-valuable and convincing. The money, prospering individuals are spending on luxuries, sack total to a great amount, which can help pay for forage and medical aid for the poor. With an increase of food and medicine, the rate at which children and a dults take apart due to starvation and lack of medical help, can quickly decrease.Nations leave less frequently struggle with high mortality rate among impertinently born and children as well as among adult people unworthy from curable diseases. In addition, the donated money can allow for the improvement of educational opportunities for all individuals, which can result in advanced technological, scientific and humanities-focused research and discoveries. Ultimately, Singers utopian idea of a cure for world poverty, promises a developed, healthy, and educated world.Although Singer deals with morality and righteousness, one cannot help nevertheless criticize Singers idealism and naivety and resort to realism, practicality and plausibility. The first let go that comes to light when attempting to execute or enforce this solution is the incomprehensible borderline between luxury and necessity. In universe, it would be impossible for every(prenominal) prosperous person to agre e upon what is and what is not a necessity, and if it were decided, for example that microwaves were a luxury, would the microwave manufacturers go out of business?A large office of companies and factories are dedicated to manufacturing luxurious items, however, if people no longer continue to buy these items and instead donated to the poor, this would be at the cost of the factory workers jobs therefore, creating a cyclical effect and intensifying the issue of world poverty. Accordingly, Singer gives a highly idealistic and utopian theory and when we evaluate both pros and cons, it becomes open that the obstacles outweigh the advantages.His approach in curing world poverty is not only too extreme, but brings about cyclical and unsolvable issues. It is important to consider and apply this method to real life and then reflect upon all the possible consequences. Singers cure fails to provide a realistic solution and promising outcomes. A different approach, or or else first step, to solving world poverty can be belongings to a minimum expensive worldwide projects. For example, millions of dollars are spent on the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics, World Soccer Cups, etc.If instead the total money dedicated to these celebrations were to be saved and donated to the needy every few years, impart would certainly be a result. Moreover, the ceremonies can be replaced with simple, yet socialise concerts performed by artists willing to volunteer and help fund-raise money for the poor. Ultimately, Singers simple formula for world poverty in reality is a naive and idealist theory, and most importantly an ill-considered and alter solution to one of the 21st centurys greatest issue world poverty.
