Kindness and understanding have become scarce, if not disappeared completely in today's society. We're so wrapped up in our own lives we forget about those around us. No longer does a neighbor knock on your door asking for a cup of milk or sugar for tonight's dinner. Instead you're probably too busy arguing over property lines to remember their last name. These relationships are explored in ELO Films new short film Valencia Road.

When thinking of New York City, more often than not, the first things one visualizes is the beautiful skyline, the bright lights, and Times Square. But without a second glance, one might miss one of the important things about the city. New York is the most heavily Dominican populated city in the United States. It’s ironic that the first non-native American to migrate to and reside on what is today New York City, was from Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic. Throughout history, Dominicans have migrated to the US in search of economic opportunity. This is the factor that influences nearly every immigrant group that migrates to the US in history.

At one point, the United States completely controlled the Sugar industry, one of the country’s most profitable markets.

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
