...Conflict Research Perspectives Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland Rhett S. Close HUMN 305, Global Issues Professor Bakkum March 10, 2015 Conflict Research Perspectives Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland “The Troubles” as commonly known to the people of Ireland is the conflict that has been raging between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland since the 1960’s. This conflict has been defined as a religious one between the Republic of Ireland (Catholic) and Northern Ireland (Protestant). The more recognized believe that it is in reference to the political issue of separating from Britain such as the Republic did or staying “loyal to the crown” as Northern Ireland has. The final point is the hostile actions that both sides have committed in defense of their positions (Hammer, 2009). Both sides make arguments to why the other has been the source of the problem. In the following paragraphs, we will look at each side’s arguments and present the facts as they are known. Republic of Ireland The Republic of Ireland has a vivid memory of the ethnic and religious persecution they endured by their British rulers. There has been a long history of violence and discrimination based on the religious choices and their ethnic background. This is a modern example of religious and ethnic bigotry in a first world country. Citizens were afraid to practice their religion or to be affiliated with their home land based on the violence that may occur. A primary...

...himself as brave and probably a fighter. Also, he is not interested in his father's cowardly behaviour. For example, he does not fear for his own life, he sleeps with a gun under his pillow and he almost refuses to hold a proper conversation with his father. They used to have a good relationship, though, but after his mother's death he cannot really respect his father's new motherly role. Shot in the end; drug related crime or the Northern Ireland conflict/The Troubles. He seemed like a rebel, headstrong. Scared of something/someone. Hatred for society. Bitter. Ashamed of his father. Setting: Most likely set in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Probably before the Good Friday-agreement, 1998. In the 80's? During the Troubles? Part of the conflict? Typical working class home because of the linoleum. The father goes to work every morning. The doctor is different and represents the middle class. There is a huge gap between those classes. Theme/message: War is horrible. Appreciate your family. Family/conflict: common family troubles, lack of communisation. Gender roles and...

...the Republic of Ireland – and can, on a daily basis at least, not have to carry their side arms and say goodbye to the gun.” – Basically he is saying that he want the residents to feel safe enough, to say goodbye to the gun. In the first paragraph he is talking about that only a few people have actually heard gun shots since World War II, and that there has not been a gun culture in United Kingdom, so it’s legal to have a gun by your side. It’s not like in f.eks. Denmark, were we know it’s illegal to have a gun. They don’t know how to live without any gun, to protect them. We are also told that he has seen enough guns for a lifetime, he would die happy if we didn't have to see another one ever again. The first gunfire is known as 'The troubles'. He is also telling us that gunfire sounds, sounds nothing like what you hear in movies, and he is also referring that nothing in real life can be compared to movies because he has experienced it and you are more affected by it if it happens in real life. “But real gunfire sounds...

...by their parents, who don’t understand the children’s needs. This is reflected in the story “Just like that” by Michael Richards, in which a young boy is taken into the bush to shoot kangaroos, by a man who wants to teach him what it takes to grow up to become a man. Does the boy like to shoot kangaroos, if not; why? Why does the man say: “Don’t walk behind me”? What happens in the end of the story? The narrator is third person and is omniscient. The language is simple and informal because it includes dialogues and repetition of dialogues. The atmosphere is gloomy, because the man does not trust the boy. It is exciting. The story is told in chronological order. The boy is young and inexperienced. It is the first time, he is in the bush to shoot kangaroos. He is brought by a man, who seems to be his father. To him the son cannot become a man, until he knows how to handle a rifle. Shooting kangaroos is the method the father uses to turn the son into a man. The boy is looking for a role model, who he finds in his father. But to pass his father’s test of manhood, he needs to shoot kangaroos. But even though the father is the boy’s role model, the boy finds him unsympathetic because he shoots the defenseless kangaroos. The son’s conscience plays a big role in this story. He does not like to shoot the kangaroos. His father pushes him by saying things as: “If you can’t do it now you never will.” (Page 1, line 6). The son interprets it as growing up and being able to live up...

...from boy to man. A boy and a man drive out to the wild to shoot some kangaroo, the boy hopes that shooting a kangaroo would make him a man, so he shoots more than 5 of them, but the boy does not want to shoot kangaroos. But he has to so he can pass the man’s test of manhood. He develops throughout the text and becomes a “man” Death is new to the boy, who is surprised by how easy it seemed when the man killed the first Kangaroos, it was exactly like the man had told him ”dead just like that” (p.1 l.1). So when the days starts are the boy immature. “The soft hair on his legs where soon matted and tangled” (p.25 1. 4). He has soft hair on his legs, and therefore are the boy young. The boy dies. “Suddenly the boy felt very calm. His eyes saw his hands lift the rifle. He felt nothing. He felt as if he were dead.” (p.29 l.18). The boy does not die, but has become a real man. When he has shot his first kangaroo he does not feel very good, he cannot even remember pulling the trigger” …He was empty as if his heart and guts had been sucked out of the barrel of his gun” (p.2 l.29-30). He is disappointed ”he had thought that somehow this would make him a man- but it had made no difference at all.” To him killing the kangaroo has been pointless, it did not make him a man. “The boy was surprised to find himself with an empty gun in his hands” (p.3 l. 28-29), again he does not know exactly what has happened, every time he shoots a kangaroo, it is like he does not do it himself. But he...

Rachel, unable to handle her sister anymore, goes to live with their father instead. Some time after the mother kicks Flora out of the house. The mother in the story is a forty-year-old bereavement counsellor. She lives alone with her two daughters.

When Rachel and Flora start fighting, the mother is unable to solve their conflict, despite the fact that her job consists of helping people. ""Flora!" whispered the mother, who wanted life to be calm, a flat sea with no sudden breezes. She liked emotions to be explored in safe rooms, with a clock." (Page 3, line 103-104) The mother spends all day taking care of people whose lives are falling apart and wants to go home to a calm and relaxing life. She wants to stop focusing on others' problems and instead have people focus on her and make her feel loved.

When attempting to solve their problems, she would refer to deal with it the same way she deals...

...Scholarship Essay Q&A 1) List 3-5 extra-curricular activities and tell why they are important to you. Having the experience of playing varsity sports has brought a new light on how I perceived teamwork. What does it mean to be a part of a team? Teamwork is such a vital part of our everyday lives. Without teamwork, on is not prepared to handle situations where cooperation is needed to complete a task. Teamwork and cooperation are two significant qualities that many need to have in their lives to face the daily troubles of the “real world.” Varsity tennis and basketball are two experiences that have taught me to work with others in such a way that is useful and time-efficient. Throughout high school, I have been given several opportunities to go and reach out to those in my surrounding community. Mira Mesa High School has a program called the Outreach Dinner that occurs every year right around Thanksgiving assisting and providing the homeless and less fortunate people of San Diego County with free meals, dessert, and drinks. For two consecutive years, I have participated in this event and held significant positions each time. During my first year joining the Outreach Dinner, I was the head of the waiters/waitresses and their assistants who helped set up, serve the food and drinks to homeless, and clean up the tables and disposable plates. In addition to that, we were encouraged to speak with the guests and provide hospitality. In the second year, I volunteered...

The next day she accidentaly overheard Terri talking bad about her with Lightning Bolt when he asked about her.

After that incident, the squeezing began and she never spoke to Terri again. Four years have passed and the squeezing has made an impact to her appearance during senior picture day. Personal response I feel that this story taught me a lot about the troubles of growing up as a teenager. Other people's opinion matter the most and can turn our confidence level from 100 to 0 in a second. Suddenly, everything can be wrong with your body just because some other person thinks its wrong.

...off. It`s not about money, wealth and material things that we could get in this world, it is the sense of fulfillment when you know you`ve done your best and you`ve felt the feeling that you deserve. Before we go any further, we need to understand that we are where we are today because of the decisions we’ve made—decisions about what to focus on, decisions about where to place our priorities, decisions about what things mean and decisions about what to do. Recently, we had our Open Book competition for our English subject. Since I was the president of the class, it was really hard for me to control and convince all of my classmates to help and strive hard to win the competition. There are times when I felt like giving up because of the troubles that we encountered but I had to be strong enough for my class because if I`m going to be weak, then the whole class will not participate anymore. I always thought that being determined and strong for them is the best thing that I could give back for the trust that they have given me as their Governor. And so, I did my part. I explained to them how I feel and how we should work on together to achieve success. After 2 weeks of preparing for the said event, here comes the most awaited moment for all of us, the actual presentation. Few minutes before, we all prayed together and ask the guidance of our Heavenly Father. Then lights camera, action! I`m glad all of us did an awesome job. It was like the moment was really meant for our class....

...- History/Origin Northern Ireland came into existence with the British Government of Ireland Act (1920) which divided Ireland into two areas: the Irish Free State, made up of the 26 southern counties, and Northern Ireland - comprising of the counties of Antrim, Down, Armagh, Londonderry, Tyrone and Fermanagh. Roman Catholics, who made up around one-third of the population of Northern Ireland, were largely opposed to the partition. Irish Republican Army (IRA), nationalist organization devoted to the integration of Ireland as a complete and independent unit. Organized by Michael Collins from remnants of rebel units dispersed after the Easter Rebellion in 1916 (see Ireland), it was composed of the more militant members of the Irish Volunteers, and it became the military wing of the Sinn Féin party. With the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the IRA became the stronghold of intransigent opposition to Ireland's dominion status and to the separation of Northern Ireland. During the troubled early years of the Free State, the IRA was responsible for numerous bombings, raids, and street battles on both sides of the Irish border. Popular and effective at first, its fortunes turned after Eamon De Valera, a former IRA supporter, took over the Free State government in 1932. Weakened by internal dissensions, by a loss of popular support because of its violence and pro-German agitation during World War II, by the attainment of republican objectives in 1949, and by government...

...Reread Act 1 Scene 3. How does Shakespeare make this such a dramatic and significant moment in the play? Support your answer by close reference to Shakespeare’s writing At the start of Act 1 Scene 3, we understand that Don John is a very sad, discontent and evil man. From previous scenes, we have already learnt that Don John is not a man of many words. In this scene, Shakespeare further develops Don John as a character allowing us to learn more about him and we learn that Don John will wreak havoc on Don Pedro and Claudio making this a dramatic scene. Also, important themes are introduces in this scene making it significant. In the scene, the melancholy of Don John is noted by Conrad who says, "why are you thus out of measure sad?". Sadness, a recurring theme in the book is represented by Don John. This makes this scene significant as a important theme sadness is introduced. Further into the scene, we learn that there is no real motive for the evil Don John commits and is due to his bad nature something he willingly admits, “though I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied but I am a plain-dealing villain” Yet, Don John being Don Pedro’s bastard brother serves as a reason for his evil nature as he has a much lower social status then his brother and has no chance of rising in society due to his “bastard” status. Although Don John has just became reconciled with Don Pedro it is obvious that he does not acknowledge it at all. Even after Conrad’s...
