6 0

The author's choice of words shows society's disregard for the neediest people, which is different from the message about cannibalism that is explicitly described.

<h3>How does the author make the text satire?</h3>

He criticizes a social situation.
He criticizes in an acidic, but humorous way.
He exposes the culprits of the situation.
He writes sarcastically and ironically.

A satire is a criticism, made in a subjunctive way, but very acid, violent, and expository, as it shows a serious social problem, its culprits, and the negligent way in which this problem is treated.

In this text, the author shows how cannibalism can be favorable to society, because rich people, who see the poor as social problems, can use them as food and raise them like cattle. That's because rich people are one of the causes of extreme poverty in society, but they don't feel responsible for solving the problem, so it would be better if they consumed the poor.

The author is not defending cannibalism but using this subject to criticize the irresponsibility of high society and the tyrannical and problematic way they act with social problems that do not affect them.

According to Nissani what can be some possible ways to save the forest of third world countries

Ierofanga [76]

Answer and Explanation:

Nissani first addresses the importance of saving forests in third world countries, as a way not only to promote environmental protection and renewal of environmental resources, but also as a way to protect communities dependent on these forests.

After addressing the problem of forest destruction, it also addresses what we can do to promote the protection of these environments and how we can charge government officials for these practices to be carried out.

Nissani says that firstly, we have to control the world population, doing family planning and promoting sex education, which can reduce overpopulation and the need for environmental resources. It also points to the need to create better economic and environmental policies in these countries, the need to optimize the use of wood and waste recycling, the need for financial incentives for companies and people who explore nature in a sustainable way. In addition, she says it is necessary to promote reforestation.
