If so\, how much more? \; Ought donors to receive a tax deduction when they give to charity\, even when that reduce s government revenue for other worthy causes? \; What are the obligati ons of corporations to give\, and does that conflict with their obligation s to investors? We will also consider who the recipients of charity and se rvice ought to be? \; Are some charitable purposes morally more compel ling and deserving than others? Is there a human rights responsibility to give? Is it better to give to global poverty or to the local symphony\, an d on the basis of what moral principles should we make these decisions?&nb sp\; Our learning objectives focus on deepening our understanding of these questions\, and the possible answers to themDates &\; Times:2/22/2017 Wednesday\, 4 – 5 p.m.3/22/2017 Wednesday\, 4 – 5 p.m.4/26/2017 Wednesday\ , 4 – 5 p.m \;About PatriciaPatricia Illingworth is a professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion and in the D’Amore-McKim School of Business\, as well as a lecturer in law at the Northeastern University Sch ool of Law.
