The general argument made by Peter Singer in his work What should a Billionaire Give-And what
should you Is that human life is of lot more worth than having a lot of
money, or being popular. More specifically too many people get caught up in
being rich and having fame, when they should be focusing on what they have to
give. He writes, “…that a human life, if it can be priced at all, is worth
millions, and that the factors I have mentioned do not alter the value of a
human life-square with our actions.” (p.804) This passage is suggesting that individuals
are of lot more worth than some think they are. In conclusion, it is Singers
belief that if you have a lot of money you should donate it towards a good
cause, and you shouldn’t get too caught up in being rich. You need to think
about the many people who may be in need.
In my view Singer is right because in this world you can see
that many people get too caught up on if they are wearing the hottest trend,
and if they have a lot of money. But money can’t buy you happiness. What truly
makes you happy in life is helping other people out. For example when I help
others I find myself a lot happier than usual. Although some people think that
they need to be rich and have a lot of things in this life to be happy, I think
that serving people and giving people all you have to give will make you happy.
Therefore, I conclude that human life is very important, and we should not take
for granted what life has to offer us.
