The concept of a scapegoat is explored in Lifeboat Ethics as well as Singer's Solution.
Both sources suggested that those who have plenty have some sort of responsibility or moral obligation to aid those who have less or none. The scapegoat in this situation is the person who is doing well and ultimately bears the burden of providing for themselves as well as the less fortunate.
In my art class, people left the tools dirty and even though I didn't make the mess, I had to clean it up.

1. Sources we’ve seen scapegoat in…

The Singer Solution

1. How has that author explored it?

Peter singer talked about how he was a utilitarian philosopher and he thinks and decides who or what his actions will affect and bases his decisions around that, he does not want to be judged for making the wrong decisions and hurt anyone in the process. Another way he explored scapegoat was when he talked about Dora and the child from the street. She was blamed for giving the child to those people who were going to take his organs and the child died, but she was not the one who would’ve killed the child, she allowed to let those people kill him, but she was not directly responsible for his future death.

1. Scapegoat in my Life.

I have been blamed in class for talking when I wasn’t the one who was, the kid next to me was talking and being disruptive. Due to the fact that I was next to him, I was “involved” in the disruptive actions.

1. In The Singer Solution to World Poverty he lays it out saying that because we don’t donate our money we are to blame for the world's problems. And that we don’t need to be buy ourselves thing but rather give our hard earned money to those who can’t provide for themselves.

2. SInger says “The average family in the United States spends almost one-third of its income on things that are no more necessary to them than Dora’s new TV was to her”(SInger 90). He then later gives us the number to call to donate money to “Help a sickly 2-year-old transform into a healthy 6-year-old”(92).

3. I believe that there is always a scapegoat in same form. People are always putting the blame on someone else because they do not want to take the blame for their actions.

1. The source we have read that contained this idea of scapegoat is The Singer Solution to World Poverty.

2. It is explored by using their money to help others, which in context, blaming the problems or homeless people on the people who have money and is making them suffer the consequence of paying, when in reality, they did no wrong.

3. I see scapegoat in life when a student is not doing well in one class and blames the teacher for their failing grade when in reality, it may be the student’s wrongdoing of not doing some of the work that is causing the bad grade.

1.  Lifeboat ethics
2. The author of lifeboat ethics blames overpopulating countries that use too much resources. He says they all can not be helped.

3.I see scapegoats in my life almost all of the time. When a little cousin breaks a glass and does not want to get in trouble for it so they break someone else

# data[].attributes.body
In Lifeboat ethics we use the poor as a scapegoat, we blame them for populating way too fast.

In Singer Solution we are the scapegoat we are the ones to blame for not helping the poor.

Both the authors show these scapegoats by passing blame onto a different type of person.

I can be an scapegoat when am at my friends house and her dog broke something and without hesitation we would both just blame me.

1. “The Lottery” and “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” explore this concept of Scapegoat.

2. In “The Lottery” when Mrs.Hutchingson tries to blame her husband for her being chosen. Also, in “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” people walk away from the town because they feel like it is their fault that the kid is locked up and suffering and they can’t do anything about it.

3. I see “scapegoat” in my life and HHS when kids, mostly girls, blame others for their drama. Also, I see it in HHS when kids blame their teachers or their parents for the fact that they couldn’t finish their work. I see it in the community when people blame others when they get in an accident instead of taking initiative for their own actions.

The sources that explore an scapegoat would be in “ Lifeboat Ethics”, and “ Singer Solution to World Poverty”.

The author of “ Lifeboat Ethics”, explore the concept of being an scapegoat by blaming the ones either on the boat and or off the boat. He blamed the poor and the rich for many different things which I think is considered exploring the concept of scapegoat. In “ Singer Solution to Word Poverty”, the author explored the concept of an scapegoat by blaming the young childs life on how the people live there life. They make happiness over a child who is suffering blaming that child for wrongdoings.

Where I see a scapegoat in my life is at HHS. I considered students looking at teachers as the scapegoats. If that student does not do good on the quiz they turn right to the teacher and blame them for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Scapegoats have been explored in Omelas and in The Lottery, but not so much in the two stories that revolved around more ethics based thinking.

Authors normally explore the concept of scapegoats by taking someone or something and condemning it in a rather harsh and unfair way, which usually ends up with the death of the said person or animal.

The Jews are a fairly decent example, but also an overused example. I don’t see any at HHS because frankly I don’t care enough to notice. As for the community, there’s probably some out there that are used for scapegoats, but I don’t notice any in Huntley particularly.

There is a scapegoat in Lifeboat Ethics and Singer Solution

In Lifeboat Ethics, the poor people (or people in the water) are more or less blamed for the way things are today. They reproduce more that the wealthy, so are taking up more space. They do not try to help themselves when other help is offered (like the World Food Bank theory) and the rich is expected to help them when the rich isn’t totally able to help itself.

In Singer Solution, the common man is blamed for not helping it’s less fortunate brothers. We are blamed for being “selfish, greedy, etc.”, the kind of people who buy new TVs and video games all the time when we should be sending that extra money to starving children in third world countries. Anyone above “poor people” is basically a scapegoat for not helping said poor.

In HHS, freshman are blamed for a lot of things. “They walk too slow in the halls”. If you think about it, the entire freshman class can’t collectively walk slow in the halls. I’m sure there’s one or two who run to class or at least walk at a normal pace. But if anyone is in your way on the way to your class, no matter what grade they are really in, they are automatically assumed to be freshman. Freshman are the scapegoats in High School, the ones who are (sometimes rightfully but not always) blamed.

1. A person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.

2. Scapegoats are seen in: The Lottery, Omelas, Lifeboat Ethics, and Catcher in the Rye.

3.These authors explore the concept of a scapegoat by using characters and making the characters do the “wrong things” and then get blamed for it later in the passage. For example in Lifeboat Ethics, one would get blamed for choosing a certain person over another, or not choosing anyone at all.I see scapegoats not only here at HHS, but in the community, and all throughout the world. People are always getting blamed for stuff that they may not have done, but people are blaming them so they do not have to accept the wrongdoing themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Lifeboat ethics: We blame the poor because of their ever growing population causing everyone's problems.  Catcher in the rye: Holden focuses on everyone else, whenever something about him arises. Singer solution to world poverty: Blaming one’s riches as a reason to not undertake charitable actions.

2. In my life: Students blame teachers for their failing grades, Blaming others for you doing poorly in a particular area because you know you could do better.

Scapegoat,  is a person blamed for the wrong doings, mistakes, or fault of others, especially for reasons of expediency.

In lifeboat ethics they are blaming the poor countries for populating to fast when they do not have enough resources or money to function on their own.

I see many scapegoats in Huntley, many individuals take the fall for others so they do not get punished. Some do not snitch on their friends and close ones. Those individuals are scapegoats because they take the fall for something they did do or start to get punished. Most of the time these scapegoat individuals are at the wrong place at the wrong time.

1. The source texts that we have read that explore this concept is lifeboat ethics and Singer Solution to World Poverty

2. They explore the concept of the scapegoat when Hardin talks about making the mistake of not hitting the switch to save the kid from getting hit by the train just so he can save his precious bugatti.

3. I see it in my life when my brother and I do something wrong and my dad ends up getting blamed for it since we are afraid to admit to what we did

1. The Singer Solution to World Poverty, Lifeboat Ethics

2. The Singer Solution to World Poverty uses this concept by blaming people who do not donate their extra money to those who need it for the suffering of those in the world.  Lifeboat Ethics uses this concept by blaming the poor state of affairs in some places in the world on not only the people negatively affected themselves, but on those who try to help them.

3. I think teachers are often treated as scapegoats by students who do not perform well in a class. Their teaching gets blamed instead of the student’s own faults, such as: not doing homework, not paying attention in class, skipping some classes

# data[].attributes.body
1. One sources that uses this concept is the life boat because they are essentially blaming the poorer countries  for population too fast and not having enough resources or money. That essentially causes the problem that affects the richer countries who have more of a right than the poorer countries.

2. I see the scapegoat at HHS when student are essentially blamed for their actions by the teacher regardless of who’s fault it was. The reason behind that is to make the teacher or the student look better so they are not punished for whatever action they have taken so they push the blame on the other person.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In both lifeboat ethics and Singer’s solution, scapegoats are used.

2. They explore the idea of a scapegoat by assigning a certain amount of blame to a people group and saying that they are the reason the world is in its current predicament. Thus these scapegoats (whether it be the wealthy in Singer’s solution or the highly populated poor in Lifeboat Ethics) must get the raw end of the stick.

3. At HHS, it's either the teacher’s or the parent’s fault if someone doesn’t know a test is coming or they do poorly on a graded assignment.

1.)  One text we read that explored the idea of scapegoats was “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”.

2 Singer talked about the Bugatti example and how many people blame the person who did not save the child because he wanted to save his expensive car instead.

3.)  I see scapegoats being used when refugees from middle eastern countries are not being allowed into the country. Sometimes we blame them for certain terrorist organizations being present in their country and we tend to act scared of the refugees.
