do you know any stress factors that people in todays time have and that our ansestors might have had??

1. Having unrealistic expectations or goals. Both our ancestors and us sometimes struggle with deciding what we want to do in life. Sometimes the expectations and goals we set for ourselves are just out of our reach. For example losing over 30 pounds in a month, or making 1 million dollars a year with an average job and hours. Humans want a lot of things that they might not be able to achieve, which makes us stress over it. We want to look a certain way or live a certain way that we thing would bring us happiness, without it, we believe that we are not worthy, so we stress about achieving it.

Jonathan swift is using a satirical approach to make awareness to the fact that there are too many beggars (which include women and young children) on the streets. his solution? eat the children. yes this sounds like the craziest thing in the world but it's a solution. the children could be sold to landlords to pay rent and the family could have stuffed bellies. he lists the advantages, disadvantages, and the rebuttal to the disadvantages to support his claim. he also suggest what age should be the highest price and how to cook them. in the end, he excludes himself from his solution. all i all, swift uses a satirical approach to get people aware of the beggars that flood their streets.if you need more for "a modest proposal", i am here.
