In the article, "What Should a Billionare Give" written by Peter Singer, he is for the thought that philanthropy is a moral obligation. He highlights when Bill Gates said, "people will finally accept that the death of a child in the developing world is just as tragic as the death of a child in the developed world." The importance of this is that kids everywhere should be taken care of. The poor children need food, water, clothes, and shelter just as much as the kids who expect to have it. Bill Gates gives money to this thought, and has started a foundation. The children of this world are very important, and the should provided for. They are the future. In the article, it said that "Last June the investor Warren Buffet took a significant step toward reducing those deaths when he pledged $31 Billion dollars to the Gates foundation." The rich should give what they can to help those who need it. Helping people should be a top priority like it is for Gates, and Buffet. They care about the world, and the future. You don't have to give money to be philanthropic, you can provide anything that is needed. Whether it be food, shelter, or someone to talk to. Make an obligation, to be helpful. Be philanthropic.
