Hostility in Northern Ireland
To explain why events like the Holy Cross conflict still happen in
Northern Ireland today and during the current peace processes I shall
look at recent conflicts in Ireland and look at the causes of
sectarianism.
The Good Friday agreement is a peace process that is designed to
resolve the conflict currently existing in Ireland. Although it has
calmed down the troubled atmosphere that fueled the two groups to hate
each other still lingers. The Good Friday Agreement has been the most
successful of all the peace processes so far, but issues are still
there that have not been addressed. For example house properties for
certain people were often unfair. Catholics were now getting a lot
more money from the Government.
"BBC Reporter: And what about the notions that Catholics get more than
Protestants do? Do you feel that Catholics do better?
Protestant School Girl Well Catholics get more money from the
government, so they do, for doing nothing - they just sit there and
don't even work. We have to go out to work to earn our money. Them
ones earn the same money, like, sitting in the house as what we do
working."
A lot has been done to help the two communities to come to an
agreement where they are both happy. But anything that happens to one
community and not to the other, that community would feel that they
were threatened. For example the government gave money to the Catholic
Church for more pews, the Protestants will feel threatened and wonder
why they are not getting any money given to them. This is a common
problem that both communities face daily. It is also one of the main
reasons that people turn to terrorism.
"BBC Reporter: Billy, did you get involved in paramilitary violence
because you were essentially sectarian and you hated Catholics?
Billy: No, I got involved with the Ulster Volunteer Force because I
believed that my community and my way of life was under threat, and I
“Ireland must be governed in the English interest” as Document 1 states. The Irish and English relationship is one of ethnic superiority over the other and geographical divide. The English feel like it is their duty to make the Irish people like themselves and they believe that their religion is the crux of what makes them inferior and the Irish just want to be left alone. The geographical divide between the nations is the mainly protestant, Ulster, and the Catholic rest of the island as Document 9 suggests. This has caused many disputes because of the fact that Irish Nationalists want the whole island unified.
Looking at what the Anglo-Saxons did from a more modern point of view would really change the perspective. Everybody has to get paid in order to live a decent life at least. The quote, “And in that hall he’d divide the spoils of their victories, to old and young what they’d earned.” Still holds true today. However, I imagine that they did not live on the same system that people live on today, it is very probable that they had a trade and barter system. All of that being said, modern people are still driven by money, the majority of the population does not work primarily out of passion. People work because they have the same greed and fear that the warriors had.
Comparing Catholic and Protestant Communities in Northern Ireland There are two separate communities in Northern Ireland; these are the
occasions, but this was the first time it had been used in the UK. By
Not So Much”, explains how Generation Y is not necessarily lazy, but rather conforming to fit changing times and a changing system. Her degree in journalism from Princeton, and experience in writing about economics, politics and data-driven journalism, more than qualifies her for writing about such a topic. I was one of those people who believed that today’s generation is too dependent on their parents, always looking for a hand-out and have a sense of entitlement. After reading this, I now have a slightly different opinion about Millennials. Of course, there will always be slackers in every generation whether past, present or future, but there is always more than what meets the eye. Just because someone may not spend their forty-hour work week all in the office, does not mean that they are working any less, but that because of today’s technology they can work from almost anywhere. As for the amount of graduated college students that return to live at home with their parents, it is not necessarily because they are too apathetic to go out and support themselves, but rather the reason being the high unemployment rate among sixteen to twenty-four year olds. After the Great Recession in 2009, many Millennials either lost their jobs, or were simply unable to find one after graduation. While I was raised to believe that if you wanted something, you worked for it, I truly hope that today’s generation is still

The Past and Present Treatment of Ethnic Minorities in Britain For this assigment I will be looking at the past and present
This gentleman is six foot two, short black hair, black eyes, and with no real distinguishing marks. He is heterosexual, African American, and is An Atheist. His name is David, and he is walking home while wearing sweat pants with a ripped up t-shirt that was from home. Some people would consider this gentleman to be poor and have a horrible education with nothing good on his mind. However David is a part-time firefighter, with a part-time job, and also being part time college student. There is a difference between people hardcore supporting their culture or beliefs, compared to individuals who get stereotyped like David for example.

There are a lot of reasons motivating people to work, such as their happiness, interests and self-esteem. However, it is important that jobs can influence people to keep their ambitions to achieve their goals, to satisfy their basic needs and to focus on one thing with their passion. Florence Nightingale gave up financial support from her family since she had an ambition to improve England’s medical and healthcare environment in the 19th century. And during my high school, “my job” offered me a suitable chance to reach my aim, too. In “Workers” by Richard Rodriguez, undocumented physical labor who comes from Mexico works in the U.S. to earn money for their basic needs. Furthermore, in Carl Rowan’s short story, “Unforgettable Miss Bessie,” Miss Bessie, a high school teacher with a plenty of knowledge, uses her passion to educate Africa American. According to these three people and me, jobs are so important for everyone because people need some ways to satisfy their ambitions, money for basic needs and passion on doing something.
It began as a typically senseless prison fight: a knot of inmates scuffling in a crowded corridor at the Clinton state prison over a piece of candy on the floor.
Walmart can be studied using structure functional theory and social conflict theories. Social functional theory is the relationships among parts of society and how these parts are functional(have beneficial consequences) or dysfunctional (have negative consequences. Most Americans today love to shop at Walmart because they continue to give consumers the best prices on over 120,000 products and are one stop shopping.
The possibility of the clash of civilizations, as seen by a quick glimpse of history, makes it evident that conflict is nearly inevitable. There are 5 key aspects that bring about problems in any given scenario. Historically, a niche is formed from a group of individuals with similar ways of life; through time the niche gains resources and adopts a religion or lack thereof. With these characteristics attributed to a group of people they are either viewed as friends or foes to neighboring communities, creating alliances. When a minor conflict arises with one community, because of alliances you have major conflict which has the possibility to tear individual communities apart.
Racism in Britain Britain emerged from the Second World War with a labour shortage. In 1944 a Royal Commission was established to assess the population of Great Britain. The commission returned its findings in 1949 recommending that extra labour was needed. The "European Volunteer Workers Scheme" was introduced. Its aim was to entice workers from Europe to come to Britain.
But as many societies modernized and grew much larger then working class became more educated, gaining specific job skills and achieving the kind of finical well-being jobs Marx would of never thought possible. As we see in today era in the year of 2016, workers are no longer getting exploited. Workers are now working under the protection of a union and a labor law. In a recent, New York Time article published on September 13, 2016, titled "Americans Inequality Problems: Real Income Gains Are Brief and Hard to Find". American 's income increasion was presented. A recent count by the Census Bureau provided good news for a beleaguered set of working class. A typical American working class income had increased by a heavy 5.2 percent in 2015. The first sky high jump since 2007, the year right before the economy had sank into a hard recession. The average income for the poorest population increased by a 6.6 percent after three back to back consecutive years of decline, the American economy has began to lift, the fellow ruse of the minimum wage across many states and municipalities. But what many American 's ask is what "why now why after so many years after the increase of labor income?" The answer to this question has many factors that can imply but one cause was mainly on distribution.Most agreed that the only way Americans were going to make it ahead would be through a paycheck. But the question still stands
