Abortion
A Modest Proposal: Abortion for Two
Perhaps the most significant debate of recent decades on a political, religious, and social level is that of abortion. Many questions are raised about whether this is a justified right inherent to any fertile woman, or an inhumane practice fostered by a barbaric society. Those who believe it is not right to abort the unborn struggle to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to get an abortion in hopes that fewer of these operations will take place. People who disagree with abortion-opponents will fight back, defending those seeking to end a pregnancy and make antiabortion actions into moot points. Even those who feel that abortion is not necessarily wrong are torn when making policies and regulations that are intended to make the process as easy as possible for those who seek the procedure, while still protecting everyone involved. Both groups are striving to have a positive impact on the world as a whole, even though the goals of each group may seem like polar opposites. What middle ground can stand between these warring sides without being shot down and destroyed by the crossfire? The only compromise that could possibly exist between the pro-life and pro-choice factions must be just as radical as either of the two, yet innovative, unexpected, and somehow quite natural. The solution to the question of...
Termination of the mother and child together has many benefits that will appeal to both the pro-choice groups that believe in continuing legalized abortion as well as the pro-life groups that believe abortion should be stopped.
Those who do not oppose abortion are known as "pro-choice" because their stance is based on the rights of people to have the power to make their own choices in life, and also based on the idea that making the right choice will have a positive impact on the lives of those immediately involved as well as on the world as a whole. Many pro-choicers would in fact not decide to personally have an abortion in all circumstances, based on what is right for that particular situation. Women choose to terminate their pregnancies because they believe this is the right choice for themselves and the others involved in the situation. Because of this philosophy, it makes perfect sense that if it has been carefully decided that death is appropriate for the circumstances, then the…
Modest Proposal When did the surprise ending become clear in Swift's short story "A Modest Proposal"? And how successful was Swift in convincing a reader of the validity of the surprise ending? These points will be covered and critiqued in this paper. At what point in the story did it become clear Swift would have a different ending?

Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public, tells the conditions of poor, rural Irish families facing starvation and desolation caused by brutal oppression from their neighboring and bullying country England in 1729. The length of the title of this essay introduces the satirical form that Swift uses in
Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift's satirical work A Modest Proposal is particularly successful at lambasting careless attitudes towards the poor because Swift's proposal that poor children be sold as food for the upper classes is rendered in the language of pseudo-scientific argument and economics. When deployed elsewhere, this combination of tone, appeals to authority, and abrogation of evidence is precisely the kind of language used to support various misguided, outdated, or
Fly by Traffic This phenomenon is found everywhere. It exists in every major metropolitan city, and somehow is able to make its way to residential communities, suburban areas, and even to rural locations from time to time, especially when it may be feeding time. There are a number of curative measures that have been employed by various municipalities that include rhetoric designed to 'spare the air', or by legislation regarding certain
dysfunctional behavior that strikes 1 out of 40 or 50 adults and 1 out of 100 children or 2-3% of any population. It can begin at any age, although most commonly in adolescence or early adulthood - from ages 6 to 15 in boys and between 20 and 30 in women -- according to the National Institute for Mental Health. This behavioral affliction is, therefore, more common than schizophrenia
). Domestic Violence at the Root This presents as the most important issue for family dissolution or divorce among low-income families (Haskins et al. 2005). Research conducted by Kathrun Edin and her team found that many poor mothers are willing to bear children even for men they consider unsuitable for marriage. Often, it is because these women believe they are in love with these men and that having children may improve these
