Assuming we accept some moral obligations, do we have an obligation to help people in other states the same way we have an obligation to help a child we witness near us in spacetime struggling to breathe after falling in a pond?  Are there geographical limits to our moral responsibilities? Do you believe in acts of duty and / or acts of charity? What are differences in your understanding of these concepts?
