Spirituality is a word freely used, however, a word that has many diverse meanings and many different perspectives. Christina Puchalski, MD, Director of the George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health, declares that "spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred." Some find that their spiritual life

Today I will be giving some background of life in Ireland before the famine started of the average citizen, I will briefly discuss the pathogen that killed the potato crop, the government response to the famine, the

old wounds have healed. When violence broke out again in the late 1960s, this time between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, it initially seemed that it would not cause any harm to the city's relations. Residents of the Catholic town and the Protestant Middleton speak of violence with a common voice, condemning violence. But when British troops are sent to Northern Ireland and tourism drops to the city because people fear Ireland is no longer a safe place to visit, attitudes are changing

As is evident in several of his works, Seamus Heaney was preoccupied by the sectarian subject during the period known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland. However, other preoccupations emanated from it: his need to find his poetic voice when pressured to speak for his own community; and the etymological study of the local landscape and its colloquialism. Firstly, this essay will analyse how Heaney dealt directly with the sectarian subject through three strands; pre-Troubles sectarianism, internal

The plays “Cathleen Ni Houlihan” and “The Countess Cathleen” are particularly interesting since both are analogies for what was happening in Ireland during the 1798 Rebellion. In order to portray the bleak reality of Ireland at that time, the atmosphere of both is marked with a distinct sense of desperation: “Cathleen Ni Houlihan”, encompasses the idea of honor and starkly nationalistic pride, support and service. The title character, Cathleen, appears initially as an old woman who goes throughout

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" (pg. 119.) Miss Maudie spoke the previous quote with deep thought going into each and every word. She wasn't just trying to teach Scout a lesson, but she wanted there to be a powerful meaning behind it. Miss Maudie's main purpose was to stress that you shouldn't kill something

The Northern Ireland Assembly should be made up of 108 members being “elected from 18 constituencies” and having both an elected First Minister as well as a Deputy First Minister. While most issues are resolved via a common majority it is possible for members to subscribe a petition of concern which will lead to a decision being made via both a Unionist and a Nationalist assembly members’ majority. In addition to those, the assembly can decide on the legislation in Northern Ireland as long as it

The nativist social and cultural revival preached antagonism towards the social and cultural forms of Great Britain. In this way, the Irish language and literary movement can be seen to have not only encouraged Irish nationalism and separatism, but also fed the flames of Anglophobia which can thus be interpreted as a catalyst in inspiring the imaginations for those who later led the 1916 Easter Rising. The revival of Irish language and literature had a notable effect on the course of Irish politics

Life is full of lessons. The lessons people learn adjust and fit their character and who they are. In the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, the characters of Jem and Scout are young, and have to figure life as they go. Jem and Scout witness and live through the creations of life ways in a collection of places and times.Their father, Atticus, teaches them a great about life and the right and wrong. Jem and Scout learn what it means to have empathy, courage, persistence and personal integrity. Also, the

“But remember, it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." (119) The mockingbird represents the symbol of pure innocence and beauty in the book, while the bluejay represents the vicious and the ruthless of society. "People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for..."(232) This quote represents how people view mockingbirds and blue jays. Although there are many shameless ‘mockingbirds’ the two that stand out the most are, of course, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. Unlike the several ‘mockingbird’
