Singer' Solution To World Poverty

Context: In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” an article that appeared in The New York Time Magazine, Peter Singer, a professor of bioethics, calls attention to the urgent need for food and medicine in many parts of the world.  Singer argues that prosperous people should donate to overseas aid organizations such as UNICEF or Oxfam America all money not needed for the basic requirements of life. “The formula is simple: whatever money you’re spending on luxuries, not necessities, should be given away.”

Prompt: Write an essay that takes a position on the extent Americans should donate all unnecessary luxuries to world aid organizations to decrease world poverty.
