	World in Action
		World in Action, Britain's long-running and most illustrious current affairs programme, goes out in prime-time on ITV (the main commercial channel) and is produced by Granada Television, a company with a reputation for innovation and "quality" programming.
		In comparison with Panorama, the BBC's rival current-affairs programme, which was studio-based and featured several items, World in Action was, in the words of Gus Mcdonald, "born brash." It devoted each half-hour episode to a single issue and, abandoning the studio and presenter, put the story itself up-front.
		World in Action stands as one of the finest achievements of public service television in Britain--of programming driven by the desire to inform and educate viewers as much as to entertain them.

		These require that the subject of criticism be fully and fairly informed of the criticism and World In Action’s failure to comply with the Codes has resulted in gross unfairness to Monsanto and unnecessary alarm to the public.

		There are in fact good reasons to believe that the world is moving toward the condition that Toynbee called a “universal state.” This prospect does raise ethical questions, both about whether people of good will should support the process, and about how such a state should be governed if it does arise.
		Regarding the world's One Economy, Singer is not much distressed by the prospect that the World Trade Organization might undermine national sovereignty.
		Judging from “One World,” at least, it is not clear why the “findings” of evolutionary psychology could not be used as the desiderata for Rawls's utilitarian calculus.

	One World - Peter Singer
		In One World Peter Singer examines four major issues affecting the world today from a "global ethical viewpoint": the impact of human activity on our atmosphere, international trade regulation (specifically the role of the World Trade Organization), the idea of national sovereignty, and the distribution of aid.
		Similarly, the consequences of actions leading to global warming aren't particularly obvious to consumers -- who thus remain convinced that their little pollution-contribution doesn't amount to much as far as the bigger picture goes.
		Certainly, it is a worthwhile reminder that local actions and policies do have global consequences, and that we shouldn't turn a blind eye to these.
