The social and health issue that is being recognized in the Satire, A Modest Proposal, is that people who are not financially suitable to have children, are having babies. This is causing many problems because the mothers of these babies then have to go around as beggars to get food for them and thier large families. Also, then these babies grow up to be thieves, and they grow up to be trained theives at that. The fact that babies, who cannot be taken care of, are being born, is an overpopulation problem. This is also causing a lack of enough food which ultimately causes there to be more poor people and beggars.As it is, there is a problem of fam,ine because of the alleged Potato famine which ruined their food supply; the English Opression has made it impossible fior them to get food any other way. The author attacks this issue with a completely ridiculous resolution which includes sending off these babies, that cannot be taken care of, to be eaten in Ireland. Such a ridiculous proposition can easily get an audiences attention.It doesn't matter if the viewers or audience think the idea is crazy because the issue will come clearer into their mind andd they will start to think, "Now what IS a suitable resolution". Then the author's purpose and reason for writing the document has been filled.
