modest proposal
A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift・s ：A Modest Proposal； is about his proposal to rid his country of starving children and poor families. ... Swift・s proposal puts this statement in question. Swift suggested cannibalism in his proposal. ... A reasonable proposal would be to let the child have a chance to live even if it means suffering of starvation, but at least the child will have a chance of survival. An even more reasonable proposal is not to have any children or use contraceptive (but they didn・t have any back then). ... Swift・s proposal had good intentions to bring an end to poverty, but his proposal is morally wrong and unreasonable. ... The statement is true and Swift・s proposal shows us that it is.
