  In chapter 6 of Gulliver's Travels, the king of Brobdingnag makes several questions about England's government. After listening to all that Gulliver had to say, and taking notes, the critics the way things are in Gulliver country, by saying that lazy and ignorance are the best ingredients to a governor and that the laws are better explained and put into practice for those who have interests in fraud them.

Swift uses the king's criticism to satirize his own society, in which people don't need to prove their values or to be honest  to rise in life, and that the ones who fight for power are usually those who have interest in taking advantages of power.

Why do adults have more responsibility for their behavior than children do
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think that statement has a lot of "if"s behind it. Sometimes children are wiser than adults. Sometimes children go by a simple rule "If it's not good for me or someone else, don't do it." Sometimes children don't have the right answer at all.

By the time you are grown up, you should have a definite feeling of what is right and what is not right. Society expects common sense from adults. They should have enough worldly experience to be able to act correctly.
