Answer:Two of Swift's pro-Irish writings were, 'The Drapier's Letters' which encouraged the boycott of English copper coins, and, 'A Modest Proposal' which drew attention to starvation in Ireland.
Explanation:According to Wikipedia, 'The Drapier's Letters (1724) was a series of pamphlets against the monopoly granted by the English government to William Wood to mint copper coinage for Ireland. It was widely believed that Wood would need to flood Ireland with debased coinage in order to make a profit. In these "letters" Swift posed as a shop-keeper—a draper—to criticise the plan. Swift's writing was so effective in undermining opinion in the project that a reward was offered by the government to anyone disclosing the true identity of the author. Though hardly a secret (on returning to Dublin after one of his trips to England, Swift was greeted with a banner, "Welcome Home, Drapier") no one turned Swift in, although there was an unsuccessful attempt to prosecute the publisher Harding.Thanks to the general outcry against the coinage, Wood's patent was recinded in September 1725 and the coins were kept out of circulation.'
According to Wikipedia, 'A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. The primary target of Swift's satire was the rationalism of modern economics, and the growth of rationalistic modes of thinking in modern life at the expense of more traditional human values.'
<span>The Internet has had a very negative effect on newspaper journalists and postal workers. To start with, many people have switched from sending and receiving letters to using email instead, which cuts the amount of post being sent. Also, many people now get their news from social media or online news sites, meaning they do not buy newspapers. These two factors have led to a decrease in profit for the two industries and has meant that some print newspapers cannot survive, meaning journalists working for those papers have lost their jobs.</span><span />
