The Impact Of Multiculturalism In Ireland

In late June of 2016, Vice President Joe Biden had an official visit to his ancestral country, Ireland. Biden planned his five-day visit to meet with Prime Minister Enda Kenny to discuss Irish-American relations, and to address the Irish people about the value of global inclusiveness. Throughout his speech, Biden uses different rhetorical strategies that aim to unify the Irish and American people. Biden’s arrival to Ireland occurs at a time when immigration is heavily debated, and right before the world’s largest pride parade in Dublin. Strategically, his words express the similarities between Ireland and America, by connecting the two nations on one shared value of equality. Biden uses equality as the foundation of a shared sense of resilience that is evidenced in Irish and American past, present, and future.

Despite the all evidences that politics is allowing all kind of cultural diversity to grow within same territory. Those countries which have different cultures are trying to make their state a multicultural state in order to live with peace, for growth and development.

Cultural diversity from very beginning was existing in different nation There are Jews in Germany, Poles in Ireland, Asians in Canada and so on but the level at which Multiculturalism have reached today became a political issue for those countries which have cultural diversities.

In the first place, my maternal grandfather instilled a pride and understanding of my Irish roots. Specifically, he brought me over to Belfast to learn and experience the culture. At the time, the hostility between the Protestants and Catholics was evident. Additionally, I saw people living under the threats of terrorism and bombing, propaganda graffiti, and a city under a police state. Similarly, I witnessed families torn apart because a mother was one

Ireland has always had religious problems between, Pagans, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish people. Ireland has always been a place of interest in English eyes so Ireland was continually concord over and over by the English and the currency, traditions and religions changed with every English King, Queen or Irish Rebel. Between 1641 and 1691 Oliver Cromwell changed everything, Irish Catholics, Pagans and Jews were killed or shipped off to be slaves. The influence to immigrate was very strong, their options were to go to a new world of which they knew no one and had nothing, be killed for your religion, or be gathered up and shipped away as a slave. It was a hard decision they all were forced to

What do you think of when you hear the name Ireland? Ireland is a relatively small island off the coast of Great Britain with a land area of 32,424 square miles (Delaney 2). There are several things that you may associate with this country such as St. Patrick’s Day, shamrocks, beer, and strife. The source of the bitterness behind this conflict began centuries ago, when Britain came over and forced Protestantism on the Irish Catholic inhabitants. For this reason there has always been an animosity between the Protestants and the Irish Catholics. The island is broken up into two distinct regions. The Republic of Ireland consists of twenty-six counties, which make up the southern

Long story short, the history of the Irish and America had ultimately ended with the Irish immigrating to the free and moral America- making up a vast number of the population. During the 1700’s, the wave of Irish immigrants was ubiquitous and constant. At the end of the day, America had little knowledge that the constant flow of Irish immigrants affected both diversity and religion. America had already been accustomed to Protestants and Catholics, however, the Irish had found a way to modify the surrounding customs and

Multiculturalism is known as the presence of, or support for the presence of, several distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a society. In the 2001 census 7.5% of the population were people born abroad. This figure has been increasing and the 2011 census reported a figure of 13%. Certain issues however tend to arise with these ‘multicultural societies’ due to various different factors, one of them being the economy. In the UK there has been legislation on anti-racism, employment rights and equal opportunities to combat discrimination, prejudice and racism. Despite this, the cost of state benefits can cause resentment and racial intolerance. In 2002 it was calculated that the net tax contribution of migrants to the UK economy was £2.5 billion

When looking at the migrations of various europeans coming to the new world it becomes clear that not all groups faced the same level hardships and trouble with integration. While many groups faced discrimination one group stands out mainly due to the amount of attention that their presence garnered. I feel that the Irish had the most difficult time for the size of their population when compared to other european groups.

The issue of anti-Irish racism in Britain is not a relic of the past. The Plymouth Herald published an article reporting some instances of anti-ginger related crimes in recent years. “Officers revealed that in a crime recorded on January 13, 2013 a red-headed person was assaulted and occasioned actual bodily harm. The offender was given a caution for the crime investigated by Plymouth Central and Plymstock Sector.” (The Plymouth Evening Herald, 25). All anti-ginger and anti-Irish crimes in the area would be difficult to record, however since crimes against this group of people are not classified as hate crimes, and thus are not reported as such. Not only is violence against the Irish in Britain a modern issue, “scientific studies” concluding that the Irish and other minority groups in Britain are racially inferior, traditionally thought of as an archaic practice during the

During the British invasion and colonization, the Irish endured decades of violence and oppression. During this time, the Irish were stereotyped and made out to be inferior to their British counterparts in an attempt to justify their right to rule. The Irish people were depicted as violent drunks who were more animal than human. They were often likened to pigs, portrayed as poor, dirty, and stupid. Obviously, this contributed to the animosity between the native Irish and their Anglo-Irish neighbors. The country lacked any sort of unified national identity. Even after Ireland received full independence, the effects of this long term injustice definitely left its mark. Once they received full autonomy, Irish society

Dia dhuit– hello. The culture of Ireland is interesting to me because my dad and grandma are Irish, I have an Irish name, and I look very Irish. Ireland is located in Europe the neighboring countries are Scotland and England. The Religion of most of Ireland is Catholic and Protestant. Even though my family has Irish roots we are not a lot like Irish families because we don’t eat the same foods they do, we eat a lot of American food. The culture of Ireland is very interesting and informative to learn about.

The aim of this essay is to critically discuss both the cumulative advantage and disadvantage experienced by some groups in Irish schools.
