NVivo Week 1
I was anticipating this assignment since the beginning of the year as I am enthusiastic about working with computers and new software. Prior to the workshop we had received emails from our personal tutors. They instructed us to transfer the provided data which could be found on Queens Online onto a memory pen. I read over the provided manual which contained step by step instructions of the workshop, which I found tremendously beneficial and reassuring.
The morning had commenced moderately nerve-wracking as the day before I unintentionally transferred the provided data onto a micro SD card, rather than a memory pen. This turned out to be relatively inconsequential. Since each person had the data on their memory pens, it was essentially a matter of requesting the person sitting next to me to transfer a copy of their data onto my memory pen.
In the beginning of the workshop numerous people appeared to be perplexed as to how NVivo functions. Conversely, any necessary assistance was obtainable from our personal tutors and Dr. Dirk Schubotz. I found the use of NVivo relatively straightforward, in spite of this being my first-hand experience. The tutor was providing verbal and visual instructions, however I

I chose to search for ‘Northern Ireland conflict’ as this was relevant to the interviews. I obtained a description from John Wolffe’s report on Protestant and Catholic conflict. Afterwards, I retrieved three external and three internal types of sources. For the internal data I chose a map of Northern Ireland, and two different articles which specifically explains the conflict that has been occurring in Northern Ireland. One specifically concentrating on religion, ethnicity and colonialism. The reason I chose a map of Northern Ireland is because it evidently represents the proportion of Protestants and Catholics throughout the country between the years of 1861 and

    Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 General Background (Framework): The Irish Republican Army, or IRA, fought the English rule over Northern Ireland in the twentieth century and aimed to unite Northern Ireland with Southern Ireland to form the Republic Ireland. It stemmed from the times of William of Orange in 1690, where William’s Protestant Army defeated Catholic King James II in the Battle of the Boyne[1]. In the years leading up to 1703, thousands of Catholics were deported and relocated to live in new areas. English Protestants seized land and owned 90% of the land in Ireland in 1703, which the Catholic peasants had to pay rent for.…

    Resentment In Tivland

    • 1 Pages

    The beginning of this conflict can be traced back to the early 1960’s, during this time there was heavy segregation of Southern Christians by the Northern Muslim majority. They had to enrol their children in separate schools, live in certain areas and were forbidden to have relationships with the Muslim population, Christian residents in these areas began to fight against this suppression and created a resistance in Tivland. The resentment in Tivland was seen as an attempt to remove the Muslim supremacy in the North and thereby, “undermine the authority and integrity of the regional government and by extension, the Federal Government” (TIVLAND). This brought a heavy deployment of military which had no problems displaying their brutality. Since…

    Tensions between ethnicities can continue on for years, partly due to the nationalism of one ethnicity over the other. Nationalism can bring an ethnicity to drive another out, which is exactly the conflict described in document 2. Document 3 talks about how in ethnic violence, ethnicity is the prime reason for targeting people, and thus, ethnic violence is inescapable. Oppressors are against only a certain nationality or religion, because of the fact that they are interfering with the homogeneity of the region and the consistent feeling of nationalism. Document 4 shows leaders of large-scale ethnic violence.…

    England vs. Ireland England vs. Ireland Throughout James Joyce’s short story “The Dead” there is a very strong ongoing motif of England vs Ireland. This power struggle is depicted through the use of character interactions, underlying messages, and imagery throughout the story. James Joyce seemed to incorporate a lot of political issues into his work, which seems to be appropriate for the time period it was written. Written in 1914 “The Dead” by James Joyce was a very popular short story for the people of Ireland.…

    Seventeenth century Ireland was a violent time. War and the economy were increasingly interrelated and the links between the two continuously shaped the erratic course of Irish history.

    John Conroy’s Belfast Diary: War as a Way of Life is an example of how an outsider can provide reliable analysis regarding how communal violence has consumed Northern Ireland. Through his detailed descriptions of paramilitary organizations and the “law and order” of Belfast, Conroy provides a unique journalistic viewpoint of an area often plagued by inaccurate examinations. Therefore, I disagree with the statement that outsiders are always ill-equipped to provide an explanation for communal tension. Rather, I argue that by living within the Belfast ghetto community, Conroy was able to recognize the complexities of life in Northern Ireland, resulting in him providing an accurate explanation for the violence that plagued the Belfast community.…

    For instance, the author explained in-depth that the stereotype of the Irish (absurd or emotionally unbalanced behavior) was not the cause of violence but class conflict, which was embedded in Irish culture. The article examines the reason behind why the Irish engaged in violent behaviour and evidence extracted from journals, reports from the Board of Works and reliable individuals such as Captain Wetherall claim that the underlying reason for dispute between the Cork and Connaught communities was unemployment, which led each group to take away jobs from the other group. However, the article also claims that the Cork and Connaught communities united together for periods of time to demand jobs when unemployment rates would reach the peak. This statement heavily contradicts the thesis statement that violence was caused by class conflict. This provokes the reader to think that the unity of the Irish during strikes allowed them to receive increased wages from the contractors.…

In this example, the state being contested was (between 1921 and 1972) the Unionist controlled Northern Irish government, and from 1972 to 1998, the British government, who directly governed NI during this period. The presence of the British Army during this period was representative of the British control over Northern Ireland and became a focus of resentment and hostility, largely by the nationalists, but also by the…
