Informal Writing

     In the first, before I saw the video of examined life, I did not have any ideas and also the knowledge about philosophy. But after I saw the "examined life" by Astra taylor, I got different experience of my live. I got a question of worthy of reflection.
     According to the video, Peter Singer is walking on the 5th Avenue where has many all of the expensive brand's stores located in New York. And he walked in front of the shoes store. About threeteen years ago, he wrote an article called "Famine, Affluence, and Morality.” He talked about a ethics of a child drowning in a shallow pond and an experience shoes. And you could save his life or buy an experience shoes. Most of peoples will say that was easy to choose, must choose to save a child life and sacrifice their shoes. Unfortunately, Peter Singer said he agree with that, but he still said why don't donate a pair shoes which you can give money to association that help children in the third world. It was an ethics concept. Basically, we just donate the money what you want to spend on your shoes. In fact, it is easy to give up to buy a pair of shoes. But, Do everyone donate the money what you want to spend on shoes? Even thought we just donate shoes' money, it is enough to association many of children in the third world.
     If you can spend too much money on the top of brand's shoes, that's mean you have enough money on your life. If so, for you, the expensive of brand's shoes will not affect your normal life. Therefore, we should consider ethics of life. Why do we spend money on unnecessary? That's my appreciate from experience of examined of life by Astra taylor.
