In the first article it was argued that without child labor, no matter if it is wrong, the children would be left worse than when they had a job. The author had a child that lived in her house when she was a kid who was much better off because of his job. She says that the problem isnt here so we shouldnt take it upon ourselves to deal with it, and if they do pass the bill to stop child labor then they need to take care of the children they are "saving".
Peter Singer takes hypothetical situations and applies ethics from that to real life. He says spending money on material goods is a terrible thing because that money could go to a charity to help children. He makes people feel guilty so that they will donate.
