Ireland

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.

After studying a few facts about Ireland, I have realized what a very interesting country that it is. Ireland is said to be a cool and wonderful place to explore. Within a few miles you can see dangerous cliffs to flat pastures to towering mountains to gloomy bogs. You can find really old castles or five-star spa hotels to relax and spend the day in.

It has a population just over 60,000, eighty percent of which are Roman Catholic.

This also offered the county locals an advantage, by being the home of the largest mountain range in the island, nationalist groups like Sinn Fein are able to go on campouts

Reading Swift’s “plan” to save Ireland was almost like reading a modern critique of American society, except that with the enlightenment aren’t we supposed to be more aware of how to solve these social ills? Not much has changed in 400 + years. For instance, today, we see class bias against the poor in the way we promise help through the welfare system, only to make it virtually impossible for an individual to better themselves, due to the limitations put in place when seeking outside employment;

. Cultural Awareness Paper: Ireland I decided to better my understanding and my cultural awareness on the country of Ireland given my family's Irish heritage. The island in the north Atlantic, and the northwestern part of Europe, has a rich history and a vibrant culture. It is important to keep an understanding of their culture because Ireland is not all too different from ourselves. Ranging from politics and social culture, Ireland does have a uniquely authentic identity developed through centuries

The Northern Ireland Conflict Esteemed members of the Board, in this report I intend to convincingly show you that the borders in question absolutely need to be redrawn.

The modernisation of Ireland through the period of 1534-1750 was monumental in the development of Ireland itself. While it would be impossible to delve into detail of all the occurrences and reforms that modernised Ireland in this period, it must be acknowledged that the reformation, restoration, plantations, constitutional changes and various monarch’s interests and activities in Ireland greatly affected the changes in the country.
