One of the most commonly used elements of satire is irony‚ which Swift uses freely to show the monetary and religious divisions in society.

National Security It has come to my attention that the current state of our nation is one of peril and doubt. Due to the recent attacks brought upon our nation’s soil by terrorists and "evil doers‚" it is understandable that the current degree of national security must be heightened. Our country can no longer be one of completely freewill with utter disregard to those outside of our borders‚ but must now come to suspect all inhabitants alien to our land as potential threats to our sovereign

People say‚ “pastors kids are the worst”‚ yet they have all of these high expectations of you. People who aren’t Christians wait for you to mess up‚ only to prove a point of their view on Christianity and on God. Some expect you to be a saint- an “example”- others expect a wild child. I’m sure you can guess which road I’m on. I started straying away from my parent’s beliefs about a year and a half ago. I guess I just got tired of God being shoved at me from all directions. I got sick of people ignoring

topic of “Politically incorrect humor and satire in contemporary English-speaking media”. The reasons for discussing such a topic are multiple. First of all is the ambitious part. Political incorrectness is something that – as even the name suggests – is not going to be widely discussed in worldwide‚ or even nationwide media‚ because it is not correct to do so. As it is not correct‚ it can also be called risky or even dangerous. We all know the examples such as the case of “Jylands-Posten”‚ the
