One way that dance does this for me is simply by the tempo of each dance. I believe different tempos can help to portray the culture better. An Irish dancer is going to use their feet more and I have always thought that was an interesting thing. When I see Irish dancers, I sometimes think of the bagpipes and the different dances that they do. Furthermore, the Early Christian Dance helps me develop deeper insight by thinking of how the Early Christian…

Jonathan Swift was a famous author whose works greatly influenced society during the Enlightenment period. Swift was a satirist who wrote a lot about the English monarchy, who was confiscating parts of Irish land to sell them to English families. At this time the Protestants and Catholics did not get along. The Protestants did everything they could to prevent the Catholic religion from growing by depriving them of what American’s see as basic rights today. This issue was crucial for Swift…

Doctor Jonathan Swift wrote a proposal to help the poverty of Ireland to make light of the societal problem in Ireland. Swift writes satirically about eating children to the people of Ireland. Swift’s clever use of irony and analogies shows the corruption in society and makes the audience aware of their unjust behavior. Swift’s use of irony in the title draws the reader in but gives them the opposite of what they were expecting. He uses “A Modest Proposal” when he is really laying down an…

on singular elements instead of the additive nature of the smaller and larger fears, the receiving populations felt towards those migrating. Beginning with Irish migration to England during the era of the potato famine, Lucassen quickly tunnels in on religious differences as the primary driver of anti-Irish xenophobia.…

“The Irish in America” takes a harrowing look at the struggle of the Irish people throughout the history of America. The emigration of the Irish to America was significant in the expansion of the country. The railways, buildings, and urbanization of the country in the early years were built on the strong backs of the Irish. Before the potato famine, Irish families in America were in need of work to care for their loved ones. Immigrants would often do manual labor for low wages, however still…

source of the problem, and it begins with the British. The British hate the Irish, because they thought that they were beneath them. The Irish worked in the fields, and were hungry and starving often. The greedy British would sometimes threaten them by taking away their houses if they did not pay them the rent. The British would not give them the food so they decided the only last resort was to steal to live. Once the Irish had stolen food, they were caught and obviously sent to prison along…

Irish Immigrants: A Key Player In San Francisco’s Anti-Chinese Movement American society has constantly redefined and changed its concept of “whiteness.” It was not until the mid-20th Century that “white” became the all-encompassing term for those of European and Caucasian descent that we know of today. Prior to the 1940s, it was widely believed that there were several different racial categories among those of European descent (Painter, 2015). One such racial category was the Irish, who faced…

After reading the work of Jonathan Swift "A Modest Proposal" I could not help feeling sorry for the people who live in these conditions. The farmers who have to meditate for food and children who cannot defend themselves and only suffer from hunger and poverty. It is inevitable to think of solutions that help to hunger, anguish, and poverty. Therefore, Swift poses a solution full of satire, black humor and a bit of mockery about the depressing situation of these families and the society in…

immigrate soldiers. The immigrants tended to be young males. They also invited above their quota. “More than 150,000 Irishmen, most of whom were not yet U.S citizens, joining the Union Army during the Civil War.” The Irish probably received more attention. And yet in some ways the Irish were different. The breakdown of approximately 2.2 million union soldiers were mainly from Europe and other countries as well. After the immigrants won the civil war, many immigrants came to America seeking…
