Mаp the fоllоwing аrgument in MindMup using аnоther tab. After you have finished mapping this argument for Mastery Check 4.3, in MindMup, click File --> Share and type rsaucedo@lamar.edu to share your maps with me for grading, just as you did for the MindMup - Honorlock Test.“Do you think that the citizens of a rich country like the United States are obligated to give money to charity? Let’s consider this question carefully. If you came upon a child who was drowning and you could rescue this child, then you’re obligated to do so, even if this ruins your clothes. Therefore, if it’s in your power to save someone at little cost to yourself, then you’re obligate to save this person. Notice, though, that the citizens of rich countries can save a person at little cost to themselves by giving money to effective charities. That’s because the citizens of rich countries can easily afford to give a few thousand dollars to aid organization and it’s possible to save a person's life in the developing world by giving a few thousand dollars to an effective aid organization. After all, researchers estimate that a $5,000 donation to the Against Malaria Foundation, an organization that provides anti-malarial bed nets to people in Sub-Saharan Africa, will save one life. It follows that the citizens of a rich country are obligated to give money to effective charities.”
WELL-CRAFTED ARGUMENTS: The fоllоwing pаssаge cоntаins an argument. Indicate a well-crafted version of it. Do NOT add unstated premises. Make sure that you indicate any subconclusions and supporting premises. Leave out any “extraneous verbiage” (discounts, assurances, hedges, and repetition). Some say that those without strong religious beliefs--nonbelievers in one form or another--cannot be moral. But millions upon millions of people have been nonbelievers or nontheists and yet have produced some of the most noble and most morally principled civilizations in history. Consider also the great secular philosophers from the ancient Greeks to the likes of Bertrand Russell and John Searle of the twentieth century.

Make sure that you indicate any subconclusions and supporting premises. Leave out any “extraneous verbiage” (discounts, assurances, hedges, and repetition): I emphatically deny that each culture should be judged only by its own moral standards, for if each culture should be judged only by its own moral code, then no culture's moral standards should be criticized. But the ethical standards of some cultures ought to be criticized because some cultures permit slavery, cannibalism, or the oppression of women. Hence, it is not the case that each culture should be judged only by its own ethical standards.
