Assignment
Devote 500 words to each question for a total of 1,000 words.
1. How and why does Mill critique Bentham's version of Utilitarianism for its lack of protection against the "tyranny of the majority" and how does his principle of liberty remedy this oversight?
2. Singer claims in the "solution to world poverty" that one should donate most of one's disposable income to organizations like OXFAM or UNICEF, and that failing to do that is analogous to refraining from saving a drowning child to protect one's new shoes. How would Aristotle, Kant, and Mill respond to this claim? Be sure to give reasons compatible with each philosopher's ethical system in your answer.
