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.'

The Olmecs are one of the oldest civilizations in the world, being considered the first civilization with great influence and power in Mesoamerica. They are believed to have existed in the mid 1200 to 400 BC.

The Olmecas had a strong agricultural production, being a society that was able to support itself, thanks to the availability of food and modern agricultural techniques. In addition, the Olmecs were great artists and presented sculptures of high artistic value.
