For Tuesday, please read The Singer Solution to World Poverty, available here:
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/19990905.htm

Please write something that answers these questions, to be turned in Tuesday as well.
1. What is Singer's MAIN conclusion?
2. How does he support this conclusion? What are his premises?
3. What objections does he consider and respond to?
4. Are these objections sound arguments?
5. Is his argument sound?

Please do not read anything other than the article.

On Wednesday, we will have a quiz/test covering:
(a) all the concepts presented thus far;
(b) the skill of making arguments logically valid;
(c) the skill of identifying whether arguments are sound or not.

STUDY GROUP(S) ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!
