What is Swift’s purpose in listing other ways to solve the issue of poverty?

I think i answered a question similar to this recently, so i'm pretty sure i know what excerpt this question refers to. swift lists these other ways in this sort of "backwards" manner--it's an old trick where you say "oh don't even get me started on [THIS THING THAT I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT]" when no one mentioned it. by you bringing it up and saying, "i don't want to talk about it" you've effectively brought the matter into question. swift is using the same tactic here, in a sense.

he says "therefore let no man talk to me about..." then goes on to list all the actual, feasible ways that his country could solve the problem. he suggests a bunch of different ideas for reform, but also maintains that his work is a satire by stating that he doesn't want to hear about it. the list is used to show that a) swift is reasonable, and understands the true ways that the country could solve the problem, but also b) he's going to take it to the extreme. people at the time weren't even willing to pay TAXES to help their country, so swift takes it several steps further and says, "well, how about just... eating the children?" he offers reasonable suggestions (all of which contain some measure of sacrifice from the people), then suggests arguably the biggest sacrifice of all: future generations, human life, and their own children.

What is your interpretation of "The Story of My Experiments with Truth"?
Novay_Z [31]

D. In The Story of My Experiments With Truth, Gandhi supports his argument by referencing general examples.

For Example,

According to this philosophy, satyagrahis—practitioners of satyagraha—achieve correct insight into the real nature of an evil situation by observing a nonviolence of the mind, by seeking truth in a spirit of peace and love, and by undergoing a rigorous process of self-scrutiny. In so doing, the satyagrahi encounters truth in the absolute. By refusing to submit to the wrong or to cooperate with it in any way, the satyagrahi asserts that truth. Throughout the confrontation with evil, the satyagrahi must adhere to nonviolence, for to employ violence would be to lose correct insight. Satyagrahis always warn their opponents of their intentions; satyagraha forbids any tactic suggesting the use of secrecy to one’s advantage. Satyagraha includes more than civil disobedience. Its full range of application extends from the details of correct daily living to the construction of alternative political and economic institutions. Satyagraha seeks to conquer through conversion: in the end, there is neither defeat nor victory but rather a new harmony.

Satyagraha draws from the ancient Indian ideal of ahimsa (“noninjury”), which is pursued with particular rigour by Jains, many of whom live in Gujarat, where Gandhi grew up. In developing ahimsa into a modern concept with broad political consequences, as satyagraha, Gandhi also drew from the writings of Leo Tolstoy and Henry David Thoreau, from the Bible, and from the Bhagavadgita, on which he wrote a commentary. Gandhi first conceived satyagraha in 1906 in response to a law discriminating against Asians that was passed by the British colonial government of the Transvaal in South Africa. In 1917 the first satyagraha campaign in India was mounted in the indigo-growing district of Champaran. During the following years, fasting and economic boycotts were employed as methods of satyagraha in India, until the British left the country in 1947.

Critics of satyagraha, both in Gandhi’s time and subsequently, have argued that it is unrealistic and incapable of universal success, since it relies upon a high standard of ethical conduct in the opponent, the representative of evil, and demands an unrealistically strong level of commitment from those struggling for social amelioration. Nonetheless, satyagraha played a significant role in the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr., in the United States and has spawned a continuing legacy in South Asia itself.

Write about the advantages and disadvantages of smart phones. 120 word<br><br>​
Sav [38]
The advantages of having a smart phone is that you’ll be able to communicate with one another and that when you’re in danger or stranded somewhere you can call or text a relative or police officer or in case call 911 because having a smart phone gives you the power to communicate with one another of course and to have responsibilities regardless of what they are if you have a phone use it responsibly not in a negative way if a child is lost or a child gets taken and they have a cell phone a police officer can search that phone number or phone and track down where that child is phones give us signal off of towersSo you would be able to track them down enough way faster environment. Where the disadvantages come in to play is that kids are on their phone 24 seven they usually are on the phone for social media or playing games some kids are on their phone during school or just because they’re bored kids put their phone close to their face where they start getting headaches for looking at a screen too long or they drop their phone multiple times and they break the disadvantages are that kids are not being responsible with the phones that they have they don’t take care of them they just think oh I have a phone if I break it my parents will buy a new one for me see what people don’t understand is that having a phone is a responsibility that’s an advantage if you break your phone and you do other things instead of doing your homework and you’re on your phone constantly that’s a disadvantage think about it you have a phone your parents are giving you the advantage to have your own phone but if you mess up on a class or you break it that’s a disadvantage you’re not being a responsible human being or child or teenager to actually realize that having a phone is a responsibility and not just because it’s fun to have when you can talk to whoever you want to the vantage is that people can track you down you could talk to relatives friends you could search up things on the web that you never knew of or eight sometimes can help you with homework that’s only if you use it right in the disadvantages are that kids use them very poorly in a not so respectful manner.
