4 generations of water buffalo

My understanding of the water buffalo movie may be a little off due to the fact that I could only hear it because the computers in the computer lab don't have the right software. But in spite of that, I could find some similaritys between this man's video and Singers essay. Both of the two are focussed around the idea of giving to people in need, and each of them found there own solution to lessening the amount of pverty around the world. However, Singer's solution was much more extreme then the water buffalo idea and called for world wide participation. Robert thompson on the other hand took the approach of helping world poverty one family at a time. He wasn't concerned with what measures other's were taking towards the problem and relied only on his actions to provide a good example to others. Both works were effective in the aspect of making there audience consider what they could/should do towards helping world poverty but differed completely in their approaches. Singer's strategy was to manipulate his audience and accuse them into wanting to do good works for others. Robert Thompsons approach was to simply capture the effort he was making towards helping others.
