A MODEST PROPORSAL: FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE
Personally I did not found a  relation between these two values and Swift´s story, instead I found the lack there of.Because for me; fairness means being transparent and in the other hand justice  is the act of using this fairness into every aspect of our lives.
All the story tells i show at that time in Ireland the upper class took advantage of the current situation (economic crisi and overpopulation), from these family so they could eat their children and turn their mother´s into breeding machines, having no empathy or sense of humanity, which is the completly the opposite of what these values stand for.This really showed how self centred and horrible people they were.
I think the proposal Swift made was unffair for everyone, surely this was the hardest decisión these parents had to make, as I put myself in their shoes I can clearly see how at that time this solution seemed as the best opportunity for they children so they could get out this atrociuos situation.
These two values fairness and justice are very important in society, as human beings we are meant to live in society, we care about people around us, when they are facing harsh situations we try to help them and speak out for them.Every society needs compassion, work ethic and evolve as a team so every aspect of it can succed at its fullest potential.As time passes by we have seen many succesful societies tear apart because of the power of money,again as humans we tend to get carried away by having priviledge.That is why is crucial to remeber where we came from and treat anyone with respect and dignity regargless the color of their skin, their beliefs, or  their social status.Great society take diversity and embrace it, acknowledge their fails and do a transparent work to fix them, feed the people´s nessecities and care about other societies as well.
This story is nothing but a record of how important it is for leaders to treat people with dignity and respect, take decisions for the nation well being, not just for themselves.
Eventhough this situation happened a lot time ago in Ireland this keeps hapening until this day, which again shows lack of fairness and justice not only in Ireland society at that time but in nowdays. We still see country leaders who only care about money and power instead of working for giving people better opportunities, basic human right such as heatlh ensurance, food, education.
Thsese in my opinión are what could shape the future of a country who lacks of responsablity of their leaders, because the coming generations would be prepared to change it when they have the chance.
