In his ground-breaking essay on the effects of wealth and poverty on global society‚ Peter Singer juxtaposes the responsibility of the wealthy toward the less fortunate. Singer starts off by giving contrasting examples to the abject and severe poverty of third world countries and examples of the richer nations of the world. It is Singer’s assumption that the richer nations have a duty to help the poorer nations to develop into self sufficient societies. Singer goes on toe assert‚ that with the right

The reason for Irish t leave their home to America is to run away from political and religious persecution. Extreme poverty caused by natural calamity of the Irish potato starvation forced people to leave from Ireland to seek a new life in the United Stated. Voluntary Irish Immigration to America began with a small trickle of immigrants in the 1700’s. The largest proportion of the early Irish Immigration to America in the 1700’s consisted of "Scots-Irish" settlers. The Scots-Irish hated living under

Many people would agree that the Irish have been successful in assimilating into American culture and the Native American has been unsuccessful. There have been many boundaries that both groups have encountered but they are more of a hardship for the Native American. These include Racial and Cultural boundaries‚ Personal boundaries‚ Sociological boundaries‚ Political and Economic boundaries‚ and Geographical boundaries. Racial and Cultural boundaries are probably the hardest obstacle that Native

in-depth research was famine. Nearly 800 million people on the planet suffer from malnutrition and other hunger related illnesses. Famine is a widespread inability to obtain food that often results in death or sickness. The U.N. even declared hunger the “largest humanitarian crisis in history.” I was surprised to learn famine is not an issue centered around a lack of food‚ but rather a lack of access due to a vast array of different causes that we discussed in class. Famine is caused by many different

reading “Irish Nationalism in America: The politics of exile‚ 1798-1998” by David Brundage the topic that really interested me was the lack of voicing of stances from the Irish Americans on the American slavery ideals. Other than the major abolitionist Irish American Daniel O’Connell many of the Irish Americans were okay with slavery. But why were the Irish Americans approving of a people group being oppressed similarly to how they were treated in their home country? To help explain the Irish American

Surviving Famine: The Kantian Dilemma Say your family and you are struggling to meet your basic needs such as food during a harsh famine. Your basic instinct is to acquire food by any means necessary. One way you could get food is by stealing it from your neighbor. In this essay I will examine whether this issue is morally right. I will argue that by using Kant’s End in itself theory‚ stealing food from your neighbor in time of famine is morally wrong. Kant’s end in itself theory is stated

experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in acidic pH levels‚ the absorbency
