Preconceived Stereotypes Of A Particular Culture

Social Problems of the Troubles in Ireland For about 150 years Ireland and neighboring countries have struggled with social controversy and segregation that has consumed society and its views, which have been labeled as the “Troubles”. Ireland has struggled to become peaceful and accept the ties it has to the United Kingdom. In every country there is hate, wars, and events that cause the population to raise up arms and try to get their points across, but in Ireland it has lasted a very long time due to Nationalists versus the government, Catholics versus Protestants, Loyalists versus Unionists, and many other radicals that believed in something greater than what Ireland was during certain time periods. Britain played a big role in Irish History and its problems. (Edwards, 2010, 2) This social issue has hurt many people over the past few hundred years.

However, as time went by, they began to tolerate the Irish, giving them the chance to contribute immensely in the political, economical and cultural scopes. Irishmen impacted the American nation in both negative and positive ways. With this in mind, negative in the sense that racism increased, not because of them, but for the intolerance during that period of time.

Immigration has always been very high on the list of issues in the United States. There are many sub-topics surrounding this issue such as: How many immigrants do we let in? Why is the road the naturalization so long and treacherous? Why should we let these people come in and take our jobs? Byron York states, “Of all the arguments made in the long and contentious debate over immigration reform, the one heard most often, from all sides is that our immigration system is broken” with many strong and valid arguments in mind, I believe our immigration system must be reformed.

The connection of race and race relations in the United States was an ongoing issue, and while much progress was made, there are still people who revert back to old and ignorant takes on different races as the white man. This clearly relates to my own history based on the fact that various races are still being discriminated and treated unfairly and looked at as unequal. I can only hope that one day the whole population of the world can do the right thing and look at everyone as equals. "

For decades now, popular culture has been tainted by the perpetual use of racial stereotypes that come to us through music, television, and film. These reactionary stereotypes are often unaddressed and often permeate the minds of those too young to understand what a stereotype is. Therefore the effects of these conventionalized ideas continue to prevail throughout our society as they are repeatedly swept under the rug. However, although seemingly less common, there are also forms of media with goals of bringing attention to toxic stereotypes while still entertaining their audiences. African-Americans, Arabs, and Latin@’s are three of the most prevalent minority groups represented in the media and by analyzing the films Aladdin, Django Unchained, and the television show Devious Maids, one can become much more aware of the racial stereotypes that they are calling attention to.

Because of the lack of trust between the Irish and the British, the Irish possibly had less chance of persuading the British to release Ireland and allow Nationalists to work with the British. This was both a long term and a short term consequence. Trust was also lost between Protestants and Catholics.

It lead to the creation of martyrs who caused a lot of violence then and still are right now.

Race also ties into culture, because our cultures and ethnicities most often come from our racial backgrounds. Our culture effects our identity by determining what traditions we practice, holidays we celebrate, and could even effect things we enjoy and dislike. These observations made about race and culture surely shape who we are because without them we would be grim, spineless

Conflicts in Northern Ireland The country of Ireland has suffered throughout a terrible history of conflict, violence and brutality. These conflicts, however, were not between Ireland and other countries; they were civil wars, and the people of Ireland were fighting amongst themselves. These civil disputes were caused by many different reasons, but the main three were politics, religious beliefs and cultural choices. Many significant events occurred because of the disagreements about these matters, and these events kept the conflict alive and made the citizens of Ireland more passionate about their beliefs. Every event which arose caused its own troubles and created even more consequences.

All over the world in history stereotypes have been found and since time has passed the Irish stereotypes were made are developing and have become well-known. Most stereotypes are made through misguided interpretations or assumptions of people and in this case that is what majority of the Irish stereotypes follow. Many of these stereotypes of the Irish give them a label that all Irish people are the same. The media hasn’t helped these assumptions that are put on the Irish and these misguided ideas which end up spreading the Irish stereotypes causing them to be displayed in movies. The use of these Irish stereotypes by the media, are then put into movies through false characteristics and situations that have shaped what Irish films are seen today as.

Ethnic discrimination has additionally been common, starting with the primary wave of Irish immigration within the decade. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, discrimination supported race and quality developed with the primary arrivals of every alien cluster. Thus, the Chinese, the Japanese, Italians, Jews, Hispanics, Vietnamese, Somalis, and alternative teams have encountered hostility and bias once they tried to search out jobs or places to measure. (Marshall, 2007)Since the Sixties, federal Civil Rights laws and Supreme Court choices have wanted to combat banned discrimination supported race or quality. In the aftermath of the war, Radical Republicans within the Congress were determined to safeguard the civil rights of blacks.
