In the writing of “Lifeboat Ethics

In the writing of “Lifeboat Ethics: The case against helping the poor”, the author introduces to the audience the Lifeboat ethics. He uses a metaphor to describe the way he is thinking, the metaphor is a boat The rich people are inside the boat, and the poor people are outside of the boat. After that is stated, the author starts making quite a bit of assumptions are made to help illustrate how “dangerous” it is for rich people to help poor nations.
I think the metaphor is unfair because it really twists the relationship and exaggerates the differences between rich and poor nations. I can understand his point of view, but I feel like maybe it isn’t as accurate as he makes it seem.
In today’s society not one single nation can survive without communication and mutual benefit
