Argumentative essay

Argumentative essay Order Description essay related to the topic of the responsibility of affluent nations and their citizens to people without even basic sustenance, discussed in Peter Singer’s paper “Famine, Affluence, and Morality.” Your project must begin with a standard form representation of your argument followed by a diagram of the argument, using between 10-15 premises. Your argument must include at least one deductive inference and one inductive inference and these must be identified (by type) and indicated on your diagram (i.e. on the arrow connecting the premises note “disjunctive syllogism” or “analogy”). Quotations should be referenced in the text as follows: “text” (author year, page number(s)). Note the final punctuation comes after the reference. If a text has to be altered slightly for grammatical reasons put the changes in square brackets. Include bibliography and word count. Standard Form Subargument 1 P6: The actions of others in not preventing suffering do not justify a personal lack of action in preventing suffering. P7: Someone being physically farther away from us does not make that person less deserving of our aid. (Proximity doesn’t matter.) ? P2: We are morally obligated to prevent something bad from happening if by doing so we do not sacrifice anything of comparable moral significance. Subargument 2 P5: People in affluent countries buy clothes not to keep themselves warm but to look well dressed. MP1: Looking well dressed is not of considerable moral significance. ? P4: The things people in affluent countries spend money on are not of considerable moral significance. Subargument 3 P8: Giving away more money will prevent more suffering. (Singer uses the £5 example.) P9: Giving away a great deal of money is the best means to an end. P10: If one sees population control as a more effective means of preventing suffering they can still help by supporting that. ? P3: People in affluent countries are capable of preventing the large-scale suffering in other parts of the world. Subargument 4 P1: Suffering and death from lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad. P2: We are morally obligated to prevent something bad from happening if by doing so we do not sacrifice anything of comparable moral significance. P4: The things people in affluent countries spend money on are not of considerable moral significance. P3: People in affluent countries are capable of preventing the large-scale suffering in other parts of the world. ? C: The non-response of affluent countries to large-scale crises is morally unjustifiable.
