Case Study On Moore Street

    In the early twentieth century, Ireland, and more specifically Dublin, was a place defined by class distinctions. There were the wealthy, worldly upper-class who owned large, stately townhouses in the luxurious neighborhoods and the less fortunate, uneducated poor who lived in any shack they could afford in the middle of the city. For the most part, the affluent class was Protestant, while the struggling workers were overwhelmingly Catholic. These distinctions were the result of nearly a century of disparity in income, education, language, and occupation, and in turn were the fundamental bases for the internal struggle that many of Joyce's characters feel.

After the arriving of Chinese immigrants during the gold rush in California, the sate required every foreign miner to pay tax.

There are within the city ten principal squares or market places, besides innumerable shops along the streets. .... On the nearer bank ... stand large stone warehouses provided for merchants who arrive from India and other parts with their goods and effects. They are thus situated conveniently close to the market squares. In each of these, three days in every week, from forty to fifty thousand persons come to these markets and supply them with every article that could be desired.

This essay will be reflecting upon how culture can influence individuals by the analysis of the Cronulla riots of 2005. It will touch on and emphasise how differing perspectives, thoughts, ideals and values are determined by a variety of cultural backgrounds and how in essence this defines each individual from the next. The experiences mentioned in this essay are of my own along with those of friends and family members that witnessed the cultural clash on December 11th 2005.

James Joyce’s 1914 collection of 15 short stories The Dubliners has the continuous theme of money which further dwells into the idea of class systems, how colonies became a dichotomy, and how in the end, the colonists were nearly the same. Since Joyce writes these stories in the early 20th Century, there has been a large history behind colonization and the life that comes with it. In using everyday examples or little segments of the average day, Joyce expresses the idea and components of the class system in Dublin which shows the distinction and yet the similarities between the impoverished and the well to do.

The city life gave the Irish a chance to continue to stay close to their families and communities, a chance to help one another out. This strong sense of belonging is evident in all Irish communities; the upper class would only try to help "their own" by giving them jobs or housing. The Irish did not only look to the streets for sanctuary, but also looked to a higher power. The most important community was that of the local church. For many, social events at the churches, such as dances and mixers, were a way for the Irish to unwind and relax. The churches and communities helped the families of the Irish grow and provided a backbone for the next hundred years.

The purpose of my paper is to show how the Scotch-Irish culture came to be in the United States. There were several things that led the Scotch-Irish to make the perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to America including famine and high rents. It is estimated that 40-55,000 Scotch Irish arrived in America from 1763 to 1775. (Everyculture) The Scotch-Irish is one of the strongest cultures in the United States and their influence has been generous.

On August 16, 1780, two armies would come to meet in an open field north of Camden. Camden, a small town in South Carolina, was in an enticing position for both American and British forces. The American forces, led by Major General Horatio Gates, sought to capture Camden to prove to American colonialists that the South was not lost to British occupation. The British forces, led by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, aimed to maintain control of Camden due to it being essential for the success of Britain’s “southern strategy”. The two generals knew that Camden was crucial for their strategies and that there was no room for error. Although both generals were formidable it was Cornwallis’ well timed and decisive judgements that proved his superiority

Joyce 's novel demonstrates a city and a society full of contradictions, parochial ideas, and paralysis. The Dublin inhabitants are divided by the river Liffey, into 'North and South ', 'rich and poor classes

“Amidst holiday crowds were Joseph and Elizabeth Mahoney, a young married couple … their lives, like those of most East Enders, were hard.” (Philip Sugden).(Pg.14-15). Their combined earnings supported a frugal existence at No. 47 George Yard Buildings, a block of model dwellings occupied … by ‘people of the poorest description’ in George Yard Off White Chapel High Street.” After getting home that evening, [despite the lanterns provided turning off an hour earlier] Elizabeth went out to get essentials for the two’s dinner that night.

Although the young boy cannot apprehend it intellectually, he feels that the street, the town, and Ireland itself have become ingrown, self-satisfied, and unimaginative. It is a

Many circumstances oblige people to move from their native country to a foreign one. From this movement of migration have emerged many ethnic groups. An ethnic group is a restraint number of persons living in a larger society and sharing the same distinct cultural heritage. Some people tend to bury their habits and accommodate to the new way of life. However others hold on to their identity and try to identify their race and maintain it. This enriches societies and makes them multi-racial. Therefore, every ethnic group is essential to complete the mosaic. Although they are sometimes threatened, minorities must fight to preserve their principles. Why must they fight? Because racial identification has many positive impacts on the members.

This essay aims to discuss the argument both for and against the claims that Irish Travellers should be recognised as an ethnic group. An ethnic group is defined as "a category of people who identify with each other based on common language, ancestral, social, cultural, or national experiences" (Bailey 2010). Currently, the Irish Traveller community is not recognised by the Irish government as an ethnic minority group. This is despite the best efforts from the government-funded non-governmental organisation Pavee Point which was established in 1985 to improve the human rights of Irish Travellers and to help bridge the economic and social inequalities between Travellers and settled people in Ireland (Pavee Point 2016). In a country which became
