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.'

How did Japanese Americans feel during WWII?
stiks02 [169]

After the Royal Japanese marines attacks on Pearl Harbor The US citizens felt panic, especially the West Coast resident, so reprisals were taken against the Japanese who lived in the western part of the country, in the states of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington.

Concentration camps for Japanese in the United States accommodated some 120,000 people, mostly ethnic Japanese, more than half of whom were American and Japanese citizens from Latin America, mainly from Brazil and Peru, who were deported under pressure from the US government, in establishments designed for that purpose in the interior of the country, during 1942 and 1948.

The objective was to move them from their habitual residence, mostly on the west coast, to facilities built under extreme security measures. The fields were closed with barbed wire, guarded by armed guards, and located in places far from any population center. Attempts to leave the camp sometimes resulted in the dejection of the inmates.

For all of the above, American citizens of Japanese origin felt like prisoners of war, hostages of a situation they did not choose and in which they did not act.

How and why do people change their mind​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

I dont know if this is an optional choice question if so this is probabaly wrong on the ABCD scale so you can report this but otherwise if not:

People make up there mind with the knowledge of there own opinions and what <em>is</em><em> </em>factual to them so to change there minds is because it is based on other peoples opinions and this makes sense ( the easiest way to explain it is as if its a filter going through this persons brain and them identifying if this is factual to them or not in <em>their</em> opinion) to them so, after they go through this process of <em>proving</em> this other information that they held so kindly to there truth, <em>wrong</em> this suddenly changes there mind. By what they think is factual enough to believe <em>at least to them. </em><em>It</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>diffe</em><em>rent</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>everyone</em><em> </em><em>else</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
