...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. We know that she is divorced, because the girls' father does not live with them but is not dead either. 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. She does not want to have to deal with more troubles, not even from her daughters, whom she feels should at least pretend to get along on her birthday. 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...

They met a boy 'Lightning Bolt' and Terri started flirting with him, but was interupted by her dad's complaint. The next day she accidentaly overheard Terri talking bad about her with Lightning Bolt when he asked about her. She heard Terri saying that she has a flat chest, skinny, and what really iinsulted her was Terri joked about her nose and said it was 'Indian'. 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.

...LEAVING BELFAST Leaving Belfast is a poem by Andrew Motion (1952 - …) an English poet, novelist and biographer. The story seems to be situated in Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland, which had been the scene of various episodes of sectarian conflict between its Roman Catholic and Protestant populations at that time. These opposing groups in this conflict are now often termed republican and loyalist respectively, although they are also referred to as 'nationalist' and 'unionist'. The most recent example of this conflict was known as the Troubles, a civil conflict that raged from around 1969 to the late 1990s, with rival paramilitary groups formed on both sides. Bombing, assassination and street violence formed a backdrop to life throughout the Troubles. Much of the population escaped from Belfast during this time because the situation became insufferable, one of them was Andrew Motion, who, for this time and in the shape of a poem, tries to show us the feelings that came to him when he leaved his city. We can assume this fact of Andrew Motion going or escaping from a place called Belfast looking at the title of the poem, which is called “Leaving Belfast”. The word leaving is a gerund which means to go out of or away from and implies some kind of movement. Belfast as I have said is the capital city of Northern Ireland in which Andrew Motion lived. Starting to analyze the poem I have to say that the poem is composed by 7 stanzas, each of them formed by 4 lines. ...

...1 1. Introduction 1.1. Bloody Sunday Sunday the 27th of January 1972 became known as the Bloody Sunday. This Sunday represents a very important point in the history of the partition of Ireland and the relationship between England and Northern Ireland. 14 people had been shot and another 13 wounded by British soldiers during a protest in the northern Irish city Derry for civil rights and against the British occupation policy on this very Sunday. The Events that took place on Bloody Sunday had been the initial phase for the conflict in Northern Ireland to escalate. As a result, the conflict got worse. Shortly after the declaration of the happenings in Derry, an enraged crowd of northern Irish citizens occupied the British Embassy in Dublin and burned it down. To simplify the enormous amount of the subject matter “Ireland”, in the following lesson, there is going to be a didactical cutback. To begin with, the students are supposed to get to know some basic facts about the divided Ireland. In this one lesson, it is not about representing the topic in all of its details. To a greater degree, it is about approaching the topic particularly with regard to war and peace. The children shall know, what happened on Bloody Sunday and they should be able to classify the events into the historical-cultural background.1 1.2.

...When I think about the years that I’ve spent in high school, they sort of blend together and become a blur. I remember bits and pieces it all seems like it happened at the same time. I never thought that the years would go by so quickly, but as fast as it was I still learned a lot from the experiences I had. There were times when I didn’t think I’d make anything of myself, and times when I felt like I could do anything. As much as I hated some of the things I went through in high school, I’m glad they happened because without them I wouldn’t me who I am right now. I always wanted to be someone who could excel at everything. I was always jealous of people like that; I admired them for their perseverance. As much as I tried I always seemed to be average at most of the things that I did. Over this summer I had time to get my priorities straight. The fact that this is my last year, sort of scared me into getting my act together and doing what needs to be done. I am the slacker no more. I will not procrastinate. I am more than an average student. The technologically advanced environment that is ACLC was something totally new to me. I mean I had used computers in school before, but I had never thought there was a school filled with them. The fact that there were all of these computers was fascinating, but learning all of the things that you could do with them was even better. I had a chance to discover new things on my own and be taught new things by my...

...involving students in schools nationwide. We need to find an explanation for this rise in disciplinary problems, in order to find the ideal solution for the problem. By my knowledge, we can clearly relate the rise in disciplinary problems with the withdrawal of caning, or any sort of physically inflicted pain, as a punishment for students. What I mean is, when students don’t get punished, they will get into more trouble in the future. Based on this, I fully agree that caning is an effective way to punish students. This is where caning can be part of the solution. Please, let me explain. Students get into trouble because it is their nature to make lots of mistakes and learn through them. Yes, they learn new and important things in life through mistakes. It is okay to make one or two mistakes once in a while, but when a student gets into trouble, or keeps repeating the same mistakes one too many times, this indicates a problem. Maybe the student does not realize that he is causing trouble, or hurting other people. For all we know he might even be enjoying causing trouble. If this student is not punished, he is certain to do more harm again, and this is not good for everybody. As a solution, caning will make the student realize that what he is doing is wrong, and that he should never make this mistake again. As you can see, caning becomes part of the long-term solution to shape a student’s...
