| {{dts|1971}} || || [[wikipedia:Peter Singer|Peter Singer]] writes his essay "[[wikipedia:Famine, Affluence, and Morality|Famine, Affluence, and Morality]]". It would be published the following year in ''[[wikipedia:Philosophy and Public Affairs|Philosophy and Public Affairs]]''.  It argues that affluent persons are [[wikipedia:morality|morally]] obligated to donate far more resources to [[wikipedia:humanitarian aid|humanitarian]] causes than is considered normal in [[wikipedia:Western culture|Western culture]]s.  The essay was inspired by the [[wikipedia:starvation|starvation]] of [[wikipedia:Bangladesh Liberation War|Bangladesh Liberation War]] [[wikipedia:refugee|refugee]]s, and uses their situation as an example, although Singer's argument is general in scope and not limited to the example of Bangladesh. The essay is anthologized widely as an example of Western ethical thinking.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cottingham|first=John|title=Western philosophy: an anthology|year=1996|publisher=Wiley-Blackwell|isbn=978-0-631-18627-4|pages=461ff|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=imkTo_sNrKcC&pg=PT473}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Shafer-Landau|first=Russ|title=Ethical theory: an anthology|year=2007|publisher=Wiley-Blackwell|isbn=978-1-4051-3320-3|pages=523ff|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=By9nCkAvS6EC&pg=PT523}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Pojman|first=Louis P.|title=Moral philosophy: a reader|year=2003|publisher=Hackett|isbn=978-0-87220-661-8|pages=344ff|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ILa7WmdUXIMC&pg=PA344}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Wellman|first=Carl|title=Rights and Duties: Welfare rights and duties of charity|year=2002|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-0-415-93987-4|pages=227ff|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OHHZF5kyURUC&pg=PA227}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Chadwick|first=Ruth F.|title=Applied ethics: critical concepts in philosophy.

1971 Peter Singer writes his essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality". It would be published the following year in Philosophy and Public Affairs. It argues that affluent persons are morally obligated to donate far more resources to humanitarian causes than is considered normal in Western cultures. The essay was inspired by the starvation of Bangladesh Liberation War refugees, and uses their situation as an example, although Singer's argument is general in scope and not limited to the example of Bangladesh. The essay is anthologized widely as an example of Western ethical thinking.[1][2][3][4][5]
1996 The philosopher Peter Unger's book Living High and Letting Die is published. In the book, Unger writes that it is morally praiseworthy and perhaps even morally required for people in academia who could earn substantially greater salaries in the business world to leave academia, earn the greater salaries, and donate most of the extra money to charity.[6]

Meta information on the timeline

How the timeline was built

The initial version of the timeline was written by Issa Rice (and probably also some editors on Wikipedia, who wrote the parts Issa quoted from other Wikipedia articles; unfortunately the version on Wikipedia was deleted so it's hard to check where the quotes came from).

Several rows are taken from Timeline of wild animal suffering.
