Answer:

  Swift's piece is worth reading only for its reflection on his society's awareness of and respect for human personhood, and it is well worth your time to do so. It is suggested by the author of this article that poor Irish families should sell their children to affluent English families so that they might be eaten by the latter family. Through his writing, Swift is aiming to convey the impression that people consider destitute and Irish people's lives to be less meaningful than the lives of affluent English people, despite the fact that the claim is ridiculous.

  Individuals in his culture are prevented from respecting all lives on an equal basis as a result of the way they were raised by this kind of bigotry. Despite its age, this article is as relevant now as it was when it was originally written. Although we are well aware that certain people are less worthy of our time, attention, and support than others, we continue to believe that they are so despite the fact that we know better.

  In contrast to the hundreds of people who die every day as a consequence of war or poverty in other nations, we are indifferent to the deaths of celebrities. People from poorer financial backgrounds, older age groups, and immigrants are often seen as "less deserving" in our culture, which is often the result of racial discrimination in our society. Cultural values promulgated by the media, such as the celebration and adoration of very wealthy people, are other elements that influence this viewpoint.

Answer:

- Any behavior that is accidentally reinforced is more likely to be repeated.

Explanation:

Superstitious behavior could be described as <u>'a behavior that is reinforced coincidentally due to temporal contiguity/closeness between an independent behavior and the distribution of reinforcer.'</u> Skinner, the famous psychologist, showed this through his experiment in which the 'rats were susceptible to human behavior as they knew that arriving at that place would assist them in getting the food'(however, not being related directly). Such behavior exemplifies the superstitious behavior(that has been reinforced on rats accidentally) which makes them behave in a certain way to get the desired results(food).
