THE MODEST PROPOSAL

In this essay I'm going to talk about how two values justice and fairness are or aren´t in the story, before i start i want to write what this two values mean , justice is just behaviour or treatment and fairness is impartial and just treatment or behaviour without favouritism or discrimination , this two values are the same thing, i think that in the story ¨THE MODEST PROPOSAL¨ aren´t this values because the story is about overpopulation  in Ireland that brings a bad economical situation because there where a lot of poor people and Johnathan swift the author(main character) proposed a new strategy to end this economical situation , He proposes that since there are many poor children and parents who have nothing to offer, it is better for the government to buy the children from their parents, feed them and sell them as food to the people who have money.  i think that Swift have good intentions  because he wants to help but the solution he is giving it's not the right one

IMPORTANCE OF VIRTUES IN PEOPLE

Before i start firts im going to define two concepts,  many people confuses the concept of virtue and the concept of values , but this aren´t the same thing, Values are deep convictions of human beings that determine their way of being and guide their behavior. Values involve our feelings and emotions and a virtue is a behavior showing high moral standards. according to Aristoteles , he said that virtue is a "habit, a way of behaving well or badly with respect to his passions." Or as he says in "Nicomachean Ethics," that human virtue can not be a faculty or a passion but a habit. That it is a habit means that it appears not by nature but as a consequence of learning, and more precisely of practice or repetition. The practice or repetition of an action generates in us a permanent disposition or habit " according to Platon, he said that the virtue is a quiality that it allows the access to the real world, for him that concept is divided by three ideas, g

Also is a country that has a lot culture and history . One of the most important party in Colombia most in Barranquilla is the carnival it is very representative because in every dance represents a event that happen long time ago. We also recognize ourselves in multiple symbols and icons that identify us in front of the world. They are present in our everyday life, in our celebrations, events and solemn occasions. Their meaning is the pride we feel to be Colombians, our belonging and origin. They state our presence and comfort us in face of adversity. These symbols make up an indivisible unity out of our diversity. Yellow   is a symbol of the country's riches; blue represents the two oceans; red is for the blood spilled by our national heroes. The national bird is the Andean condor is the larg
