As many people can agree, the newer younger generations do not have a close relationship with the older generation. While this does not pose a serious problem, it does affect certain parts of life. Today, we will be discussing the causes of this.
One of the first causes is technology. Technology rapidly changes, and the new generations follow that change. The new generations will spend more time on that technology, which causes them to spend less time on their relationship with older generations, which do not use technology as often, which is a problem.
Another cause is the academic competition. Many parents have the idea that their child has to be the most talented in every aspect of life, which causes them to pile more and more extracurricular activities onto their children, some of them unwanted. This not only leaves less time to be spent on maintaining their relationship with older generations, but also can build negative feelings directed at the parents, for putting so much pressure onto the new generation.
With this said, the older generations seem to have lofty ideals for the new generation, but they also put lots of pressure on the children to never mess up, while also telling children that it is okay to take risks. This can predictably lead to the weakening of ones relationship with the older generations. I think what we should do is to respect the older generation for caring about us, but also the older generation should listen to the younger generations input, instead of writing them off as too naive or stupid to know about things in the world. The younger generation actually knows a lot more than the older generations think they do, so the older generations should listen to the younger generations input.

Time and time again, adults tell children to act their age or act more mature. What they fail to realize is that children are exactly that: children. Though kids should be more responsible and mature, it is difficult when adults continue to treat us children as lesser-than beings. My parents, personally, have not exactly told me to behave more like an adult, but they have said, countless times, that I need to start becoming more responsible and acting mature because I am “not a little kid anymore.”

It has occurred on the news when adults, specifically baby boomers, feel disrespected by the term, “boomer.” They feel as though millennials and Gen Z’ers should treat their olderldergeneration with more respect, and the term “boomer” simply was not respectful. However, there have been several counter arguments. Such as: “boomer” is just short for “baby boomer.” It is almost like an elder telling younger people not to call them by their name because the elder finds it offensive and disrespectful.

Another example of adults aiming specifically at the younger generation is the fact that answering a question could be considered talking back. It is aimed at the younger generation because many adults believe it is a given for children to respect their elders. Now, this idea may be true in some cases, but not every elder is deserving of respect. Of course, I respect my teachers in school, but I wouldn’t do every single thing they said just because they were older than me; such as fetch them a pint of milk.

My parents are not agonizingly strict, but they do make the imminent future very apparent to me. I am close to entering high school, and my mother, specifically, wants to make sure that I join clubs and am at the very top of my class. Sure, this is ideal. However, it becomes annoying and frustrating when I hear it constantly. Though, being reminded, for me, drives me to work. Only sometimes. When my mother puts in nicer words.

Adults need to realize the sheer impact that their words, or their silence, have on teens and children. The words that come out of their mouths no longer are simply words to us. They are knives. And each of those knives is being thrown at us teens and children and it makes us weaker. Words speak louder than actions, and the older generations need to realize that. Especially during the teenage years where teenagers are still figuring everything out. It is so difficult to go through changes, such as becoming more sensitive and being brought down by heavy words. Respect is earned, not automatically given to elders, and it’s time they realized that.

“The Modest Proposal,” by Dr. Jonathan Swift, is about the a hunger problem and a poverty problem in Ireland and how the poor people’s babies do not have a good family. They have to beg for money and steal to live. The letter also gives a solution to this problem. Although the solution is very inhuman and careless for the poor.

The solution says that they should kill the poor people and make them into food for the rich and treat the poor people as livestock or animals. He also states ways to eat them, like by boiling them, roasting them, etc.. He even had recipes on them.

He also said to make clothe out of their skin. This solution is actually a logical solution IF you were not human, but since we are this solution is out of the question. In the letter it also states the benefits for the solution. It can solve the problem, help the economy, provide clothe and provide food. As I stated before this solution is good if you do not care about human lives.

Gen Z starts in the mid years of 1990s and ends around the early 2010s. A lot of people around the world are in Gen Z. This may relate to some adults (in school) “If you pee in your pants, dont worry we’ll delete this”-From a student. But this Gen Z if just a generation of a year and age group.

I agree with Kimber Lybbert  because she let me thinking why would different ages of group matter? Well it does since the way you act is very different and the way you act to a, different people is different. Say if you are a baby boomer .(1980 and 1994) If a teenager came up to you, then they would be nice and careful of their movements.

But if you are a Gen Z person talking to a Gen z person than………. well, it does, they would be very different than the way they talked to a baby boomer.

Kimberly Lybbert, a high school teacher and mother of six, claims that students will grow up to love themselves more if adults in their life are more supportive of what they do. She asked some of her students to write down their ideas about adults around them, and one written by a seventeen-year-old girl read, “an idea should not be invalidated by the age of its creator.” Although many parents believe they are doing what is right for the kids, it may actually be dragging them down. 

Commonly, grown-ups will scold children when they do something wrong, but they should actually ask them about what happened. The children already know that they have messed up, so parents should not lower their self-esteem by becoming angry. This will allow students to feel like they are supported, and because they know what they did was not good, they will try their best not to do it again. Asking about what happened will make their child feel better about themselves, making it much better in the long run if something were to happen. Although grown-ups think scolding their children or calling them lazy will motivate them to not do/do things in their future, there are much better alternatives to it. In addition, adults should learn to trust that their kids have ideas that are just as important as adult’s. One example Lybbert gives is about Abraham Lincoln. She says that Lincoln could have become an amazing farmer like his father raised him to be, but he decided to follow his dreams and learn about slaves and ended up becoming an amazing president and freedom fighter. Even though right now, teenagers may seem like lazy people, if they are given trust from older people, they can grow up to love themself more. 

For hundreds of humans did everything using their hands, from surgeries to producing things. Now humans have the robot, a very effective machine to help humans. They can handle UV light, which is a type of radiation harmful to humans and they are mistake free.
When combating the Covid-19, the United States doesn’t have enough physicians or doctors. Alone, the US has only 900 and need 1200 according to health officials. Luckily, there are robots here to help. A robot known as Stevie works in a hospital in Ireland. Stevie helps infected old people. Other robots use UV light to help kill the virus, but using UV light isn’t very safe for humans.
Everybody says it is okay to make mistakes. Like in a math worksheet, and that probably includes a surgery that might cost a persons life. Surgeons are already trained for two to three years to be mistake free. But, what if they, just do a simple error and that person dies. The what if is the most important thing in this outbreak. What if a surgeon accidentally does something wrong? it could cost a life. Robots can efficiency carry 10 of more tools at ounce. They are mistake free unless it gets a virus which is highly unlikely.
Therefore, I strongly think that robots are far more efficient when helping the infected people. They can use UV light and other things harmful to us and they are mistake free.

Corona virus has spread wide across the world and some people have made a robot that can kill it. This was really informative and told me a lot about Voilet. Voilet is a robot like Stevie which the scientist first worked with. It kills the virus with UV lights. But UV lights can causes mutations in your body. It can also cause sunburns and skin cancer.

So UV lights bad for you’re body. But even thought it can still kill the virus. UV light is from the sun and will give you vitamin D. Thought to much is bad. These scientist have been thinking of a way to make Stevie kill the virus since it began in Wuhan, China.

Stevie works in different ways than violet. These robots are really high tech and amazing. If I were those scientist i would find a way to shine UV light at the virus. But find a way to only use a little so it doesn’t harm the patient. That way they can get rid of the virus.

Jonathan Swift’s short story, “A Modest Proposal”, proposes for the Irish to eat their children. I think this solution to poverty and hunger is not a reasonable plan for three reasons: The population of Ireland will decrease drastically, it’s unconventional and weird, and there will be way too many health issues.

First of all, if people in Ireland suddenly started to just eat each other, the population of the country would really go down. They’re only going to eat their children, but since the children would’ve grown up to be adults themselves, the only adults eventually left in Ireland would be the currently existing ones. Then when they slowly die off due to old age, bad things will start to happen, like if another country really wanted to conquer Ireland for some arbitrary reason. No one would be in their way, except a few leftover babies who were recently born and a whole lot of satisfied grandmas and grandpas, sitting around the fireplace, congratulating themselves on coming up with such a great plan to rid themselves of poverty. So–boom! The grandmas and grandpas are booted out of the country and congratulations to the UK because now they have a lot more land with more room to build houses to have dainty little tea parties in or something–whatever people from the UK do.

Secondly, this method of getting rid of poor people is really weird and unconventional. Nobody eats children!! I mean, nobody even eats other adults! This is straight-up cannibalism, and–spoiler alert–we don’t do that here. As far as I know, not even animals eat their own kind (Ignore the Komodo dragons for now)! Do you ever see monkeys eating other monkeys? Birds eating other birds? Even wolves eating other wolves? No! So why should we? We are an advanced species, Jonathan Swift. We could freaking invent something that gives us good food before we decide to eat our own children! Also–another scenario: The people around Ireland might feel offended or disgusted by the savage Irish people’s behavior and start feeling like they need to step in and tone down the craziness a bit. OR, as I said earlier, they could just start doing it the violent way again, kick the senior citizens out, and start planning their tea parties.

Lastly, I feel like this isn’t very healthy for the Irish people. Just think about it: If a mother had a disease and she gave birth, then the child might have the illness too. Then if they sell the child because they really need two shillings, then the wealthy person who receives the child might catch the disease. And according to Elon Musks’s Ten Rules To Success, successful people have all attracted cool people at some point in their career, so the wealthy person might happen to have a bunch of friends over when they eat the child. Then the child’s illness gets to his friends and his friends pass it on to their family or friends and this repeats until probably the whole of Ireland is infected by this disease. If the mother had had an unknown disease or something, it’s pretty much going to be a long long long pandemic like the COVID-19 because you have stuff like potatoes that are being exported to other countries and since everyone in your Ireland is infected, these potatoes will then carry this sickness and then when some person eats the potato in, let’s say, America, and then the whole of America will also have this disease. Let’s just say, it’s not really the best situation to be in.

I am strongly against Jonathan Swift’s idea and I hope this never happens anywhere. Between under-population problems, being judged by other countries, and bad health issues, surely everyone would agree with me on this.

Robots are more talented than humans, which is why scientists created Violet, a robot who has the ability to separate the DNA from viruses and stopping them from reproducing by using UV light. In my opinion, this is a brilliant idea because humans cannot do the many things robots can do. Even though Violet can save our world from Coronavirus, the UV light may cause people to have skin cancer. Nevertheless, Michael Ryan states that “…speed overpowers perfection…” He means that when there is an outbreak, like COVID-19, it is better to make progress than doing nothing at all.

I think they may be able to succeed, but because UV light can harm humans, that may slow down the process of stoping the Coronavirus. To conclude, I think robots may be the “heroes” of this virus, but also they may be the “villain”.
