Portfolio 2: Singer on Poverty

Is it our job and duty to perfect the world?
If greed and bribery wasn't there, would we all be poor?
How far do we go to achieve equality?
Are we willing to give our things away to poor people far away, who we don't even know?
Why should we give up and risk loosing our luxuries?
Who do we choose to help?
Why should distant people matter more than our loved ones close to us?
Who could I save and who should I devote my energy and time to? How do we know?
Should we provide education for mainly women so that the population would go down and be easier to help because there would be less people?
Are the poor going to always be poor because the rich don't allow the poor to rise up or gain status because they fear their wealth and status might be taken away?
