In this "Crash Course Philosophy #44: Poverty and Our Response to It" video [8:53], we're picking up where we left off last time, exploring the "ethics of care" and how it applies to extreme poverty. Are we responding to global poverty in a moral way? Philosophers like Peter Singer argue that we have an obligation to prevent harm caused by poverty, whereas Garrett Hardin offers a "lifeboat analogy" to explain our obligations to focus on caring for our own.
