Thus, the ethical questions involved are certainly complex, yet the general impression in Appiah's "Kindness to Strangers" is one which implies that it is not up to "us" to save the poor and starving, but up to their own governments.
Seega on tegu keeruliste eetiliste küsimustega, kuid Appiah’ "lahkus võõraste vastu" ei tähenda, et "meie" peaksime päästma vaeseid ja nälgijaid, vaid et seda peaksid tegema nende endi valitsused.
