In “Famine‚ Affluence and Morality”‚ Singer‚ a utilitarian‚ argues‚ “The way people in relatively rich countries react to a situation like that in Bengal cannot be justified; indeed‚ the whole way we look at moral issues-our moral conceptual scheme needs to be altered‚ and with it‚ the way of life that has come to be taken for granted in our society”.
