I would say that traditional gender roles for men and women are not relevant today. Gender roles have been around for years and they have always been labeled a certain way‚ but I’d say now that those labels have been broken. They are not as relevant in today’s world as they were years way back. There is too much diversity and roles that men and women have both done.

Travels is still relevant today because it presents a variety of social critiques and condemnations of branches of human activity that still exist today. I believe the goal in Swift’s novel was to create something to achieve just that goal‚ or the goal of timelessness.

In our society many people try to eliminate racism but some still are racist. You might not think about racism everyday but it happens a lot around the world. Even though all genders and races should be treated the same they are not and it can lead to personal issues just because of people looking different from each other.
