The poor don’t deserve to live in the conditions they do‚ but it is all about opportunities. The wealthy took advantage of their opportunities and got a lot out of it. The poor cannot expect the wealthy

Peter Singer argues that all people have a moral obligation to donate all that we can to the poor. The suffering and starving of those people living in poverty are not inevitable; many of us have the ability to eliminate this suffering‚ however‚ we choose not to. We have a moral duty to prevent bad things from happening as long as it does not cost at the cost of “sacrificing anything morally significant”. (Ethical Theory).
