Methods Of Thinking Children Of The Irish British
1,448 words
Swift's "A Modest Proposal", in which he suggests
that the problem of Irish poverty can be solved by
the sale of the children of the poor for
consumption, is above all things a criticism of
human faults: extremism of thinking, greed, pride,
hypocrisy, intolerance, and insensitivity. His use
of iron is evident even in the title: the idea
that not only should poor Irish children be eaten,
but that they should be bred for eating is
certainly anything but modest. Swift's plan is
that through irony, ...

British Rule African Countries

Introduction The past is another country, where it
is only possible to go as a tourist, and which we
will never fully understand. We can describe what
we see, but it is far more difficult to know why
people acted in the way they did, or what they
believed, and why they believed it. Uganda too is
another country, which did not even exist before
the white man went there. Even the name reflects
the ideas of the first explorers, whose gateway
into the new territory was via the Buganda tribe,
whom th...

Church Love Traditions
502 words
One of the three basic pillars of the Roman
Catholic Church is Tradition. The Church often
uses this pillar of Tradition to validate its
actions or to establish its own infallibility. One
unspoken foundation that I feel is more essential,
however, is that of Love. Love is what is taught
in Scripture, another pillar of the Church, and
should, therefore be the root of any traditions in
the Catholic faith. By judging human actions or
the spirit of God by cold laws enforced by the
Church, we lose im...

Religion is a Religion Religion Religion is a
simple word that divides humanity in several
groups. It is the claim of many influential
Christian and Jewish theologians that the only
genuine basis for morality is in religion (Nielsen
13). The morals and beliefs of children are
greatly influenced by their home life. It is sad
how children grow up, not able to research into
their beliefs, but conform to the beliefs that
have run in their families for generations. Not
