505 0  THE ARGUMENT. Saving a child -- Is it wrong not to help? -
       - Common objections to giving -- HUMAN NATURE. Why don't 
       we give more? -- Creating a culture of giving -- THE FACTS
       ABOUT AID. How much does it cost to save a life, and how 
       can you tell which charities do it best? -- Improving aid 
       -- A NEW STANDARD FOR GIVING. Your child and the children 
       of others -- Asking too much? -- A realistic approach. 
520    Arguing that our current response to world poverty is not 
       only insufficient but ethically indefensible, philosopher 
       Peter Singer offers a seven-point plan that mixes personal
       philanthropy (figuring how much to give and how best to 
       give it), local activism (spreading the word in your 
       community), and political awareness (contacting your 
       representatives to ensure that your nation's foreign aid 
       is really directed to the world's poorest people).
