Arthur says that Singer forgets that we as human has entitlements (which includes rights (both negative and positive) and deserves (merit, hardwork, and excellence)
Rights – negative (non-interference) such as killing, liberty, freedom of intrusion, freedom of speech, freedom from constraint by others
He says we all the rights to have a valid claim to receive what is needed.
