I just finished reading a fantastic book by Princeton Professor Peter Singer called, The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty." Singer goes into great detail about how we all should take responsibility to lift those in extreme poverty out of their situation. Do you think you're responsible to save a person dying from starvation in Africa whom you don't even know? You might, after reading this book. For more information, see my review here:
