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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.  

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

The Singer Solution

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.

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.
