Singer argues for what kind of a donation ethic in his essay?

  • Localized giving

  • Nominal donating

  • Obligatory giving

  • Non-donating

Answer

Singer defends the ethical idea of obligatory charity. He argues that we have a duty to aid others in need, regardless of our relationship with them or the sacrifices we have to incur. To support his argument, he gives the example of saving a drowning child when we have the means to do so.
