Immigration Project: Blog 6

If Swift's proposal is accepted into society as a regulation, which is absolutely and entirely crazy, those who will benefit include the Irish who are poor and suffering. There is currently a potato famine that is destroying society; it was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration ravaged Ireland between 1845 and 1852.As the crisis continued the rapidly rising price of all other produce brought hardship even to those who in other circumstances might have been able to provide themselves with alternative food; the roblem was thwat the British had cut off their aility to get food overseas by means of fishing and trading. Widespread malnutrition also led to the rapid spread of a range of diseases; many recognize and remember such diseases as typhus and relapsing fever, which actually killed far more than died of actual starvation and lack of nutrition. By 1850 an estimated million people had died of hunger or disease, and another million had fled the country, emigrating to Great Britain or North America. ALso, in the A Modest Proposal, Johnothan Swift starts out the document with terrible stories of how the Irish are forced to live because of the dreadful cicumstances; he talks aout others who must ecome beggars to support their chhildren. He also talks about yuong orphans whho were abandoned ecause their familied did not have the money to support them; these children grew up to be theives. So, it is most definate that those who are meant to benefit from this propsal, are indeed the Irish. Although, those who are just born will certainly not benefit because they will not get a chance to live. The Irish social group who are not financially well of, in any terms, would benefit because of a turn around in Ireland's economic system. Before such regulations would be organized, there would not be enough food for everyone because of overpopulation, there would not be enough jobs because of overpopulation; therefore, there are many people out of work so there is an unbeliveable amount of poverty. The poverty has caused alot of theft and craziness in society; there is a lack of organization. In A Modest Proposal, Johnathon Swift talks aout how caotic it is on the streets and how there is theft everywhere; he says that children who were abandoned grow up to be well trained and experienced theives.
If the regulation is put in place, all of the babies that cannot be taken care of, that arte born into poor families, are going to be eaten. This will fix a good amount of hunger and it will also fix a llarge amount of overpopulation at the same time. Also, since all of the babies who cannot be taken care of were growing up to be trained thievs who know nothing else, this will stop alot of theft; therefore, organization will be restored. If all of this happen, obviously, things will be fixed and the Irish would no longer have to live in such terrible living standards.
