- 21: An Analysis Of Jonathan Swift
- ... the English “a charge upon…the parish.” All the “warming up” takes place within the first two pages, an essential part to the effectiveness of Swift’s strategy (Swift 298-90). As Swift offers his “Modest Proposal” we see how ridiculous it is to even fathom eating children but even worse making money off of it. But we still cannot characterize the essay as satirical because he has made no reference to ... of still being on the side of the English aristocracy. Swift specifically points out the fact that “the number of popish infants is at least three to one” and an advantage of his still serious proposal “will be the lessening of Papist among us” (Swift 300). Swift reduces the population from general to a specific religious affiliation and the use of the pronoun “us” still puts Swift on the English ...

Because of the indifferent tone which Swift imposes, he was very often thoroughly analyzed, as well as judged, for his motives for writing. “A Modest Proposal” proves noteworthy of being neither modest nor even proposable to any audience, no matter how rough the times may be. This indifferent tone towards the selling of children of which Swift writes has ...

- 25: Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging an Honest Consensus
- ... more like this? ACADEMIC REFORMS Most efforts to improve academic institutions focus on incremental reform within the existing peer review framework. Should reviewers be anonymous? Should submissions be anonymous? How many people should review each proposal? Occasionally someone proposes a more radical reform within the current framework. The surprising lack of agreement among reviewers [Cic] has lead some [Gi] to suggest we fund equally or randomly among "qualified" applicants, and let ... part of what we want from academic incentives is a fair game for staking our reputation, so that on questions of interest to funders, we converge as fast as possible to the "right" answer. THE PROPOSAL Surprising as it may seem, such a social institution exists. It is relatively simple, cheap, decentralized, and egalitarian. It could create a consensus on disputed science questions that would be clear, expert, honest, and self ... and personal stake in science would heighten the public's interest. At present, though, fewer people probably follow science than football. We don't need to interest everyone, however, just enough to pay for the modest overheads involved.

- 26: The Detrimental Effects In Cha
- ... believes that after a few years, most apartments will be decontrolled and the supply problem would be solved. In truth, areas that are already decontrolled are not seeing new apartments. Instead of building moderately priced, modest apartments, developers find it far more profitable to build condominiums. Clearly, condos do not fall under the category of affordable housing. Yet, the province is making it easier to convert apartments into these extravagant units. Under the proposal, if there is a conversion, the warning time a tenant must receive would be cut from 240 days to 120. Even if developers wanted to build new apartments, the government’s rationale is still flawed ... who cannot afford a condominium can easily take up residence in a moderately priced co-op apartment. This would solve any claims to affordable housing rights that people would be scared of losing under the proposal. Unfortunately, soon after taking office, the Conservatives decided that they would no longer support the building of non-profit housing, and withdrew funding for 70% of planned non-profit projects. The total reduction in ...

She felt that ... convent, and find alternates to marriage for women, which, I guess, would be the same as living in a convent. Mary was a feminist which I feel lead her to be so aggressive in this proposal, but I can understand why she is mad.
