  • Unit 7: System Change Page 1 the Data Below Describe Changes That Have Affected Several Societies in Important Ways
    Investigating World Cultures: A Systems Approach Marion Brady, Howard Brady 7: System Change Investigation: Flowcharting Change Societies and their cultures are systems, and in systems, everything relates to everything. If a new drug increases average lifespans, the society must change to account for more elderly people. If improvements reduce the cost of air travel, more people travel by air, affecting airports and roadside gas stations. Tracing changes in systems can be complicated, so it’s important to organize information. One rather simple approach is through the use of flowcharts— diagrams showing possible cause-effect relationships. A flowchart begins by identifying a change in one part of a system, and then asks, “What would logically follow as a consequence of that change?” Increased Need for population more food Each new change usually becomes a cause of more changes: Increased Need for Need for more population more food farmland And so on. Each change can have more than one effect. Increased Need for Need for more ? population more food farmland ? ? In your journal, copy the diagram above, and fill in additional changes that would fit logically in the “question marked” boxes. Original Material copyright ©2017 by Marion Brady and Howard Brady.

It is generally considered that very few songs from the famine era have survived: it is indeed a testimony to the power and importance of traditional music and songs, and remarkably so in Ireland, that illiterate people on the threshold of exile or death could find the strength to express their misfortunes in such a poetic and elaborate form, as in this caoineadh (i.e.

The work assesses the functionality and operation, in both Ireland and the US, of Irish culture as a dynamic but discordant friction within the Anglophone world. Ireland’s unique geopolitical position and its religious constitution nurtured an agrarianism that shared its intellectual roots with American republicanism. This study details how the crisis of Irish land invigorated both traditions as an effective oppositional culture to the processes of modernity.

  • Rural Agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a Bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Bibliography Volume 10 (1-2): 215 - 278 (2018) MacSheoin, Rural agitation in Ireland Rural agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin Abstract This bibliography brings together recent secondary literature on agitation in rural Ireland over a period of three centuries. Keywords: Ireland, rural agitation, land war, peasant resistance, Whiteboys, rural protest, tithe war, Ribbonism Introduction Studies of various aspects of rural agitation in Ireland have flourished over the last four decades. Prior to the publication of T Desmond Williams’ edited collection on secret societies in 1973 –generally seen as the beginning of this flourishing- rural unrest had not been a major subject of unrest: aside from O’Donoghue’s work on tithes and a variety of work published in local archaeological and historical journals, the land war had been almost the sole such subject of interest to mainstream Irish historiography. This changed with the arrival of social history and ‘history from below’ under the influence of English historians such as E.P. Thompson. As Fitzpatrick noted in a 1985 review essay ‘In addition to the three volumes under review, at least twenty-two major studies of various aspects of rural unrest have been published since 1978’ (Fitzpatrick 1985: 98). By the time Cronin published her review in 2012 her bibliography had swelled to twelve pages, though some of the listed works were contextual rather than focused on specific cases of agitation. My recent review in Interface featured a bibliography of eighteen pages, though again a fair number of the listed works were contextual.

This Institute not only played a very significant role in the lives of the Sisters and their students during this period but it also impacted on the economic and social fabric of the wider community in Co.

JOHN KENNY, 2015. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to trace and evaluate the course of governance and law enforcement in Westmeath from the end of the European wars to the accession of Queen Victoria. Politics in the county took a new and highly volatile direction. The Roman Catholic bishops and clergy were a major influence on the new middle classes. The Church of Ireland, never more than a shadow organisation, was in retreat from its civil responsibilities.
