Abstract The Moynihan Report of 1965 became one of the most talked about pieces during 1960s.

One of the reasons “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanly was a very entertaining play was because of its text elements. The play was about a morally wrong issue at a New York religious school that took place in the 1960’s.

One of the driving forces behind the rebellion was Patrick Pearse, an Irish teacher, barrister, poet, writer, nationalist and political activist. He became interested in Irish culture while he was attending St. Enda’s school in Dublin. Pearse joined the Gaelic League and was devoted to the language movement. Up to 1912 he…

Post Office, where James Connolly, founder of the Irish Socialist Republican Society, was announced the head of the army and Patrick Pearse, a long-time Irish Nationalist, read the declaration of independence. The British were quick to put an end to this act of defiance and did not hold back when terminating the movement. In the end, more than 450 people were killed before Pearse decided to call it quits and surrendered. In a matter of weeks most of the leaders of the revolt were hunted down and…
