One of the most influential immigration movements in American History is the Irish Immigration.

Even though both Samberg and Behymer are both German in origin, our family is quite Irish. We do have more German in us, but that does not make us any less proud to Irish. John and Sara Giblin are among our Irish ancestors. They traveled to America during a time of unrest in America and after a horrible tragedy in Ireland. It was not always easy for John and Sara, but they went through everything for their children.

March 17, 2016, a date that is celebrated as St. Patrick’s Day by some, but like many, my day started out in its typical manner. As a very new mother of two, sleep has quickly become a thing of the past as my days have begun bleeding into one another with unpredictable nursing sessions and diaper changes throughout the night and early hours of the morning. My three-week-old son Aaron greeted me with his soft coos informing me that he was hungry beginning at 2:13 am. After roughly 30 minutes of breastfeeding, Aaron finally fell asleep in my arms.

Exposure of the indigenous people of North America to Euro-American cultures reflects within Native American art. Euro-Americans here being used as term for Europeans and their descendants who emigrated to North America. From the point Europeans traveled in large numbers to America they caused severe changes in the peoples who lived in North America. Due to the trade with Europe and the crops they brought to North America, indigenous peoples were able to expand the materials they used for their art. Forced integration, migration, and fighting with Euro-Americans created changes within the stories represented in their visual culture.

Stereotypes are not hard to come by in popular American culture, and truly in popular cultures the world over. Human beings seem programmed to make quick and superficial judgments about anyone who is or who simply appears to be "different" or "other than" oneself, equating race, ethnicity, skin color, and/or country of origin with a set of specific attitudes, values, and behaviors that are often insultingly oversimplified and incorrect. The United States has had more than its share of struggles with accepting newcomers and dealing with minorities of all stripes, possibly due to the fact that the nation has a rich history of immense immigration that has led to higher levels of multi-ethnic and multicultural interactions and social pressures than have existed in many other nations.

How useful are the concepts of “tradition” and “dissent” in understanding attitudes to the built heritage of Ireland?

Music is a powerful force that plays a role in cultures all around the world. From special ceremonies such as weddings or funerals to church services to casual listening in daily life, music plays a role in all aspects of life.

Although influenced by others’ styles, many cultures have their own overall distinct style(s) of music.

The next set of questions asked the survey participants if they thought the following recordings sounded Irish or America. I included video clips of Emmet Cahill singing “My Irish Molly O,” Willie Brady singing “There’s a Typical Tipperary Over Here,” and Mick Moloney singing “Regular Army O.” A large portion of participants (56.3%) thought that “My Irish Molly O” sounded more American than Irish. Emmet Cahill sang this song with the technical skill of a classically trained vocalist. He took musical liberties, sustaining notes and using a copious amount of vibrato. The piano accompaniment is jazzy and syncopated. It is possible that people felt that these musical nuances are not traditionally Irish. The next example, “There’s a Typical Tipperary Over Here,” is sung by the Irish ballad and country singer, Willie Brady. 51% felt that this sounded more Irish than American.
