Essays on Irish

The British Isles, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is packed with mouth-watering and sumptuous food varieties. Countries that comprise the British Isles have followed entirely different paths. While Britain's cuisine has been shaped by its history of colonization, the cuisines of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales have predominantly developed as a weak/peasant cuisine that emphasized on survival than celebration. Despite different paths followed by these various countries, many aspects tie the modern day cuisine, and there are several classic dishes that are common to all nations. The Celtic connection has made many ties and links between the ...

Over a long time, there have been witnessed various disasters that occur beyond human control. The natural disaster tends to take place any time of the year regardless of whether tourism is at its peak or not (Ritchie et al. 15). Therefore, it happens that at times the natural disasters become one of the most challenging situations people encounter at diverse economic regimes. In most countries, a natural disaster has led to the loss of lives of many people including the tourists. Moreover, it is evident that natural disaster does not choose the place to occur, and hence it ...

‘Lowell Mills’ referred to collectively, is a reference to the series of mills and factories which were built in the city of Lowell. These factories and mills were unique for the time in that they combined the two separate disciplines of spinning and weaving under the same roof, rather than having them in separate buildings, which was a feature which helped to boost the mass production of cloth. By the time of the 1830s, it was estimated that roughly three-quarters of the work force in the Lowell factories were women. These combination mills came to be known as the ...

According to Professor Takaki, the phrase "a lecture within a lecture" means teaching an off-shoot of a topic within a major topic. For instance, in this case, Professor Takaki teaches about the immigration of the Irish and Chinese women within a larger perspective of American history. He illustrates the manner in which the British colonialists displaced the Irish from their land leading to massive immigration of the Irish women from Europe to America.

According to Critical Race Theory, why is storytelling an important part of challenging hegemonic power and the master narrative?

Presentation Notes

Many have said that America was built on the backs of immigration and minorities that settled in America. There is a lot of evidence to support this, as the Irish and German immigrants that came in waves during the 1880s were often used for cheap labor. In addition, African-Americans were used as slave labor until the conclusion of the Civil War, playing an important part in the development of the country. In addition, Native Americans were also prominently involved in the process, but certainly not in a positive way; this is because the United States government used resettlement techniques ...

1. Consider the nature of the trade-off between richness and reach of information. How is the trade-off defined? Give a real world example to qualify for the maximum possible credit. The trade-off between richness and reach of information means that reaching information at the different level of richness might cost differently. If someone would like to reach information, he needs to pay for this service, and the price depends on the richness of the information requested (Nayab, 2014). Advanced communication and information technologies have decreased the cost of reaching rich information nowadays; however, it does not mean we do ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

The term "demand" in economics means payment need, i.e. need that the subject is able to pay. From this definition it follows that the demand for a particular commodity (service) depends on the price. This means that the increase in commodity prices will lead to a decrease in demand, and, conversely, a decrease in prices will lead to higher demand. The relationship between price and quantity demanded is stable. (Agarwal, 2013) The cause of the change in demand is change. This reverse causal relationship between price and quantity demanded is the law of demand. The law of demand manifests ...

Introduction

This paper is devoted to the strategic analysis of the company Ryanair. It is an Irish low cost airline that is well-known in Europe. This company operates since 1985 and offers flights to around twenty seven different countries. There are no any incidents that could be associated with human victims during the whole company’s activity. Ryanair has become a truly budget airline in the 1990s. It has abandoned the business class, expensive airports and long-distance flights. As a result, in 1995 ...

About the mentioned families, they include two with an American background, two are Bohemian, three German, and the remaining three are Irish, Polish, and Italian respectively. Interestingly, though belonging to differing ethnicities, some of the working individuals share an occupation. For instance, while the workers from family #8 and #1 are American and Irish respectively they are both bricklayers; and the #3 Bohemian and #9 Italian individuals work as laborers. Still, a further study of the variables shows that a similarity in employment does not mean one in income. By that logic, ethnicity, occupation, and income played key roles ...

INTRODUCTION

The film “Braveheart” takes place in the 13th century and tells the tale of William Wallace a humble Scotts-man who falls in love with a young woman whom he makes his wife. However, Scotland was still under the thumb of English rule. This rule essentially allowed British soldiers to do as they please, including accost, abuse and rape the common-folk. This is the sad fate of William Wallace’s new bride. She is essentially executed for fighting against an English officer who attempted to rape her. Enraged, her death would send Wallace on the mission of saving Scotland and ...

America and the Great War

Nationalism, imperialism and militarism are considered to be the three major causes to have set the stage for the Great War or the World War I (WWI). Nationalism is a strong association, devotion and loyalty to one’s country. It was not specific to a single country as nationalism was prevalent throughout Europe (Hamilton & Herwig, 2003). During the course of the nineteenth century nationalism became stronger. During this period basic literacy had increased which contributed to nationalism. Imperialism is the second major cause of the WWI. Imperialism refers to a country expanding its power and influence using military or ...

Introduction

The hospitality of a people is a welcome and pleasant asset in a fast-paced world. Of course, one thinks of the hospitality industry when considering the term. However, true hospitality, as will be defined in this document, cannot be duplicated because of the aspect of generosity, without expecting anything in return. Having lived in the country of Ireland, between the areas of Ballintober County, Roscommon, and South Dublin County, it was learned that the people in the country of Ireland possess a sense of hospitality that has a warm effect on those who experience it. The hospitality of the ...

Marketing Communication Plan: Contemporary Marketing Communication

Marketing Communication Tools Advertising Advertising is a typical component of the communication mix for many businesses. It encompasses a variety of messages that the business will deliver using a particular medium to reach a targeted audience; the medium is usually paid for (Kelly, Lawlor & O’Donhue, 2005). This method would be effective for the introduction of the Samsung S6 product into the Irish market as it would inform the targeted customers of the availability of the brand in their location. Advertisements are usually made on radio or television stations, print media as well as through website placement (Fill, 2013). ...

TTIP or Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership is an agreement that is negotiated between the European Union and the United States of America. It is an agreement that is being portrayed as a beneficial and valuable treaty for the people's benefit, but everything is not as clean and clear as it is portrayed (Ustr.gov., 2016). There have been widespread oppositions to the agreement, and it is feared that this agreement could cost a lot of jobs in the UK and other regions of Europe. In the 14th round of TTIP negotiations that took place in Brussels on 11th-15th July 2016, ...

I think that “A modest proposal” is really outstanding pamphlet of the later works of famous Irish writer Jonathan Swift. It shows us that Swift was not only a writer but an outspoken defender of Irish people and their welfare. At first sight this essay is about women-beggars who beg for money to feed and dress their numerous children. Their kids had no good life because their parents were poor, and the British government didn’t care for them at all. In addition at that time the harvest was poor so the most possible way to get food was ...

"I'm glad there's some folks gettin' interested in the old ways. This new generation don't know such things, but when they find the old songs and the tales, they'll delight in them." --Granny in Grandfather Tales (Chase & Williams, 1948) The Southern Appalachian region has a rich heritage of folklore and songs passed down orally from European immigrants settling in the mountain range situated from New York to Georgia (Abramson & Haskell, 2006) from the 18th to the 20th centuries (Hanlon, 2000). Since the middle of the 20th century, variations of the folktales have been compared to publications such as Grandfather ...

“Learning to Read” by Frederick Douglass

In “Learning to Read” Frederick Douglass wrote the story of his personal experience with one of the most prohibited and dangerous acts that a slave in the pre-Civil War South could do: learning to read. It is a narrative that is both shocking and revealing of insight into the times and place where it took place, the power of the institution and practice of slavery to dictate evil into the hearts of men and women, and of the dedication and strength of the personality of Frederick Douglass. A close reading demonstrates not only Douglass' narrative techniques, but his skills ...

The vast majority of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” reads like a scientific treatise, packed with facts and figures as it seems that Swift has assembled a persuasive case for actually raising the children of Irish poor families in the same philosophical manner that farmers raised sheep, cattle and pigs for slaughter, even going into the various cuts of meat that would be available. However, as the reader nears the end of this treatise, he descends into a chiding tone that asks the reader to conduct some internal self-questioning to determine his position on the issue. Swift, writing ...

The journey towards the European Union (EU) integration has experienced several turnings. This section of the essay will detail some of the core turning points in the EU integration. Establishment of a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was a major turning point in EU integration. The Treaty of Rome defined the specific objectives of the CAP. The CAP was introduced in 1962 (Folmern.p). The establishment of the CAP was enshrined to the state of food shortages after World War II. The aim of the CAP was to build a common European Community market and to cut off tariffs on agricultural ...

Superstitions in American culture

Superstitions refer to belief in magic and fear of the unknown, which leads individuals to adopt irrational behaviors. The influence of superstitions on individuals has remained strong throughout human history, but this influence has been declining with increased urbanization and education of the masses. The Halloween superstition reflects a fear of some power by human beings, which is beyond their understanding and control. However, some superstitions remain prevalent in American culture and other industrialized societies. During Halloween it is traditionally believed that it is a period that common myths, omens and folklore have more weight for the people who ...

The research context:

History of tort law Tort law originated a century ago when Oliver Wendell Junior examined the history of negligence in the legal system, which later resulted in the theory of tort. He concluded in his study that the duty to exercise care in England was faulty. He noted that most plaintiffs suffered overwhelmingly when another party or entity caused a significant level of damage to them. Similarly, Morton J. Horwitz reexamines the history of negligence and found out that many jurisdictions did not understand negligence as carelessness or fault (Kaczorowski). Since its discovery, many nations such as the USA, ...

Strategic Alliances: A Critical Analysis of Successful Alliances toward Knowledge Creation and Management Introduction In today’s business landscape, creating sustainable value for customers and shareholders requires the initiation of an alliance strategy. Strategic alliances are alternative modes of global business operations that small to large enterprises are considering in order to achieve stronger and more effective market presence. Moreover, alliances are a fact of life for business, which needs to align present and future strategy to current radical technological and structural changes, globalization, and increased competitive pressures (Janczak, 2008). Meanwhile, the issues of trust, partner selection, and the ...

The concept of “whiteness” is, of course, silly on its face. “Pinkness,” or perhaps, “very light tanness” would be more accurate. Nevertheless, the term is deeply embedded into cultural discourse. “White privilege” is the phrase of the day. “White Man’s Burden” was the public face of the reasoning for British imperialism. White men (no women need apply in those bygone days) not only “could” govern their poor, benighted “colored” brethren better than they could govern themselves, it was an affirmative duty to bring superior culture and civilization to the savages. In the history of the United States the ...

There are numerous works that can be reviewed for this paper. In the same manner, there are a lot of people who can be considered as the topic. In this case, however, the one chosen was John Hume, particularly the speech that he gave when he was awarded as one of the recipients of the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize together with David Trimble. This speech is remarkable mainly because not everyone gets entitled to receive this prize. It is more than just an honor; it is a product and recognition of one’s life work, a feedback that tells ...

Argument with Evaluation

There are some talented authors who managed to portray life as they saw it with all the white and dark strips. One of such gifted natures is surely an Irish dramatist Lady Gregory. She was not interested in things and abstract ideas but preferred to depict the complicated inner life of people’s feelings and emotions. The Rising of the Moon is her remarkable one-act little play that was widely praised for its consummate dramatic technique. It was written in 1904 and proved that harmony and loyalty could be found in the most intense situations ever. Thomas Hogan named ...

MODERN MARKETING FOR AN ANCIENT CITY

MODERN MARKETING FOR AN ANCIENT CITY

Introduction

Belfast is one of the world’s most ancient cities, its location at the mouth of the River Lagan having been continuously occupied since about 2,000 years BCE. There are good reasons for this. Courtesy of the Gulf Stream, the site has a mild climate that seldom gets above 65 degrees F. or below 35 degrees F. Its northern latitude gives it one of the world’s shortest winter, and longest summer, days at the biannual solstices. It rarely snows. The city is ringed by low mountains that create a microclimate to ...

The Interesting Narrative by Equiano is a breathtaking autobiography of African colonized man who refused to put up with the fate of the slave and decided to become the master of his own life.

The number of Roman Catholics in the United Stated has shown an enormous growth over the last two decades affecting the whole structure of the general population. For example, while they were concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast in the past, today they overpopulate the Southern and Western parts of the country. This reallocation is not typical only for the Catholics. It is a result of citizens’ internal migration and immigration. In her article Who Are U.S. Catholics? Numbers Show a Surprising Shift, written for National Geographic, Victoria Sgarro cites Marc Grey who is a Senior research Associate at ...

Contrast the journey to America described by Richard Whyte coming to America from Ireland, with Richard Duden's description of the Midwest as he travels around the countryside in the 1820s seeking to persuade German immigrants to make the trip to lands far richer than anything they can expect to possess back in the homeland. Is one more "right" than the other in his presentation? Both Richard Whyte and Richard Duden pioneered efforts to inhabit America. Richard Whyte’s journey gave hope to many Irish people resulting in waves of immigrants from the country in the United States. The journey ...

What Do We Mean by ‘Integration’?

The modern world is the world of emigrations and immigrations. They happen due to different reasons including social, economical, political issues, and personal circumstances but are always attended by such essential social process as integration. Generally, integration means combining of separate things or people into an integral system. It is a complicated action that has a lot of problems and unsolved questions. According to Favell, immigration “conceptualizes what happens after [migration], conceiving practical steps in a longer process which invariably includes the projection of both deep social change for the country concerned, and of fundamental continuity between the past ...

Salvador Dali – a man worth remembering

Salvador Dali – a man worth remembering On one sunny mayday in a little town in Catalonia, a man was born who would eventually change the direction of art and reinvent the nature of “enfant terrible”. Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marqués de Dalí y de Púbol was the first child after the deceased older brother; this is probably why his parents had high hopes for him. This is probably why he behaved the way he did. As a child, young Salvador was arrogant, uncontrollable and difficult, but at the same time had makings of ...

Question #2 It might be argued that the character of Ned Kelly is a Robin Hood-like character. A 19th century outlaw, Carey illustrates him as the conventional bad guy with positive qualities. This is why it can be said that Kelly is a Robin Hood like character, as Robin Hood executed certain aspects that were not necessarily morally correct, or ethically right - but nevertheless allowed for positive outcomes. Much of the novel consists of Ned encountering bad luck and being manipulated and lied to. As such, he is forced into the seemingly bad guy lifestyle ending up in ...

Australia as one of the major colonies of settlement, the Dominions of the British Empire built its ideology on not only a theory of a particular, specific Australian nationalism but instead on a wider ideology called Britishness. Britishness is what held together Britain and it colonies through the Boer War, World War I and World War II. Britishness is an ideology that takes its cues from a very large vat of sources, political, cultural, national and historical commonalities. Although Australia maybe halfway around the world it was still British because of it bonds with the mother country. Although the ...

As times progress so does the way of living and the thinking of society’s younger generations. This is one of the main elements that ...

Irish Drama: Comparing Two Plays

British literary landscape has long been diligently adorned and complemented by the magnificent works of Irish authors, all of them mirroring the peculiar culture, mentality and traditions of the people. In Irish literary legacy, dramaturgy is a remarkable genre, while history and myths are the common thematic aspects of the works. Interestingly, due to the complex historical background of Ireland and its Northern part, one could draw parallels even between seemingly different plays separated by decades. A good example is observed in a kind of symbolic interplay between the plays Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme ...

There are many manners in which to be a hero; not all of them include donning a cape and fighting evildoers. Some heroes are more intellectual in nature, and all they need to change society’s wrongs is words, be it through pen and paper or by talking. The latter kind is usually not as well-known as the former, yet they have also influenced history in very important ways. One way of bringing society’s ills to light is through satire, of which there have been many master’s throughout the years. This genre ridicules the subject, using irony, ...

In this incident, the British soldiers shot dead 13 civil-rights protesters and witnesses, including thirteen males and seven teenagers. Several others had been wounded in the incident. In the aftermath of the Bogside Massacre, the Widgery Tribunal cleared the British authorities and soldiers of blame and justified the shooting as “bordering on the reckless” . However, the tribunal faced immense criticism post which the Saville Inquiry had been established in 1998 under the supervision of Lord Saville of Newdigate, to look into the ...

Abstract

The Irish leadership perspective has a crucial role in its national life due to the impact Irish political leaders have in the economic life of the country. Understanding this national leadership characteristics significantly contributes to the national awareness of its strengths and weaknesses. Based on Hofstede’s leadership categorization model, the commonly held leadership characteristics can be described as small power distance, weakly uncertainty avoidant, collectivist, masculine, and long-term oriented. American leaders who want to engage Irish leaders and population will have to make adjustments in at least three dimensions of differences, namely, individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and ...

Abstract

The O’Hub is a conceptual, up-and-coming hostel that will be located in the heart of Dublin. Dublin has long been a center of tourism for people around the world, and it seems likely that Europeans and international guests will continue to flock to the city (Failte Ireland, 2016; Bacon, 2009). Indeed, there have been suggestions that the hotel and hostel industries in Dublin are over capacity; this indicates that there is a need in the market. The overarching vision for this particular project is to create such a unique design and atmosphere that the O’Hub is able ...

Comparative Studies: Cultural Context

Culture is simply the people’s way of living. The Cultural context in a movie, play or reading materials can be analyzed in terms of time at which the people lived; the place; setting; environment; social organization; social divide; family culture; gender roles; economic, religious and political status (Mcdonough 2005). In most cases authors of novels, books or articles and the directors of movies and plays apply more than one of the cultural contexts to bring out several intended themes. Integration of these aspects permits them to develop a close contact with the readers since this set platform for ...

Discussion of the Key Trends, Industrial Strategy, and Impact on Ireland Burger King

Introduction Early twentieth-century strategic business developments can hardly compare with the myriad impact and influences of major corporations today. The global economy is at once complex, fiercely competitive, and sits on a landscape filled with the unpredictability of any number of financial storms. Burger King Worldwide (BKW) as the world’s second largest fast-food hamburger chain, according to recent documentation, (Burger King Worldwide 2013) has expanded its presence in nearly ninety countries. With its main offices headquartered in Miami, Florida, BKW has led the industry’s sales in its niche of fast-food hamburgers thus accounting for 12 percent of ...

When we speak of the Irish Renaissance, we can also be referring to a Celtic Renaissance. We call it the Irish Renaissance because it was championed principally by Irish writers, one of which, at least, used the Celtic tradition to invigorate the Renaissance. Ireland at the turn of the 20th century was mired in passions. Rebellion was always on the horizon, economic collapse was always imminent, the catastrophe of the Potato Famine was still a racial memory, and the rule of the English was still unbearable. From this potentially destructive social structure came some of the finest writing of ...

Irish Republican Army: Terror in Ireland

Regarded as the oldest terrorist group in Europe, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was initially named as the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) or the “Fenians” on the 15th of February 1858. Its earliest objectives engaged the liberation of the region from the “invading” British forces; in the course of time, the IRB forged a close collaboration with Sinn Fein (“Ourselves Alone”) after the latter’s establishment in 1905. The IRB’s radical wing carried numerous attacks including the “Easter Uprising” onslaught in 1916 under the name “Irish Republican Army.” After a cease fire was concluded in 1923, the ...

Psychology:

Psychology: When we are children, the smallest things can have such immense impacts on one’s life. A child’s world generally revolves around complete possibility, positivity, and spontaneity. However this natural process can all be easily violated when a child is subject to sexual abuse. This violation comes with an abundance of psychological, social, and psychological effects. Mainly looking at the physical effects such immoral retribution subjugates children too, it can ultimately said that childhood sexual abuse can establish severe physical effects in which may completely violate the trust and core of a child’s relationship with the ...
