Peter Singer Discussion

It was very eye-opening listening to you discuss Singer's solution to world poverty.  Thank you for your effort.

Please come to class on Monday with a printed copy of the 3A sample response off of College Board. It's pages 16-18.  We will be reading it and using it in class on Monday.  Please share this request with those of your peers who don't read the blog and help each other out with printing and such.

Tomorrow we will have the last round of SAS for the 6 weeks.  Also, bring your Interesting Stuff Journals to class (periods 4 and 6 ONLY).  Thank you.

And a little Maya Angelou wisdom for those of you who are decades ahead of your peers...It's the wish that drives my days and a wish I have for the best and brightest among the Class of 2018.

"My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness."
Dr. Maya Angelou

  7. Nobody brought up the fact that you don't solve a country's problems by giving them aide. It's like saying we need to help the poor people in our country by giving them even more benefits and aide than they already get.

    1. I kinda feel like arguing is more to expand than offend but hey maybe both are necessary, in the words of the great Barbara Steinem, "The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off."

    2. Just as the aspiration is to hopefully earn respect for the arguments position, not defeat it.
