Mindmap on Conflict in Northern Ireland


Mindmap on Conflict in Northern Ireland






Mindmap on Conflict in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland-The impact of the Conflict

Factors involved: Social impact. Economic Impact and Political Impact
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify:Social Impact

Describe:
  • The Protestants and Catholics grow up in an atmosphere of tension and violence.
  • They each received different education, each praising their own and condemning the deeds of the other.
  • In addition, most of them live in separate residential areas.
  • The violence in the country also means that the two groups of people believe that their own people were right and the other party was responsible for the conflict in Northern Ireland
Explain: 
  • Thus young people of northern Ireland could grow up without meeting the other community.
  • This has led to the lack of understanding between the two groups.
  • This led to the growth of hatred and prejudices between the two groups of people.
  • With Increased hostility, violence continued to rise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Economic impact

Describe:
  • Prior to the conflict, many overseas companies in invested in Northern Ireland.
  • Tourists came to the country as it was peaceful and attractive.
Explain:
  • As a result of the conflict. both foreign investments and tourism declined.
  • People were afraid of their safety and did not want to come to northern Ireland.
  • Investors were afraid to invest in N. Ireland
  • This reduced the revenue (income) for northern Ireland, leading to economic slowdown.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Political impact

Explain:
  • Prior to the conflict, the NICRA organized several demonstrations to end discrimination against the Catholics.
  • The Civil Rights marches pressured the Northern Ireland government to pass anti-discrimination measures in Northern Ireland.
Describe:
  • As a result of the conflict, the government agreed to abolish (bring to an end to) the unequal voting system.
  • After Bloody Sunday in 1972, an agreement was reached to introduce power-sharing between the Catholics and Protestants in 1988.
  • However, this agreement had not been fully implemented as different political parities refused to share power.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which of the above is the most important consequence of the conflict?

I think that social segregation is the most important conflict. this is because social segregation leads to many young people in Northern Ireland growing up with hatred and prejudice towards the other community. With the rise of prejudice, there would be no end to in the conflict in Northern Ireland. If the prejudice could be overcome, there would be better understanding among the people. This would reduce violence, leading to grater reconciliation and greater success at both political reforms and the return of investments and tourists.

Chapter 4: Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies

Northern Ireland- CAUSES OF CONFLICT in Northern Ireland

Factors involved: Divided Loyalties, Unequal allocation of housing, Unequal employment opportunities, Lack of voting rights, Education system, Separate Residential areas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Divided Loyalties

Describe:
  • The protestants regard themselves as british and want to remain part of UK(which is dominated by protestants)
  • They celebrate the battle of Boyne where the protestant King of England defeated the Catholic ex-king of England.
  • The Catholics want to remain part of the republic of Ireland
  • They remember the long struggle by the Irish against the British.
Explain:
  • This meant that the two communities were proud of their own achievement and were not willing to compromise with the other party.
  • This brought about distrust and misunderstanding, leading to conflict.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify:Unequal allocation of housing

Describe:
  • City councils providing houses to the people who consist largely of protestants.
  • Priority was given to Protestants in the provision of houses.
  • Example, in 1968, 71% of the local houses in Dungannon were given to Protestants although 53% of the people there were Catholics.
Explain:
  • The Catholics were frustrated as they had to wait for a longer period of time to get their houses.
  • They thought that the government was biased and hated the government, leading to conflict.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Unequal Employment Opportunities

Describe:
  • The catholics, although academically qualified, were not able to get a job as easily as the Protestants.
  • Example, There were relatively fewer catholics in the senior positions in public and private sectors.
  • Example, The number of civil servants was not proportionate to the numbers in the country.
Explain:
  • Catholics felt that they were discriminated against.
  • This made them believe that the government was biased and only cared about the protestants.
  • Thus, they went against the government, leading to conflict.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Lack of voting rights

Describe:
  • Each household was enitiled to 2 votes each whereas the companies were entitled to more votes depending on their size.
  • Since many big companies were owned by protestants they ended up having more votes than the Catholics.
  • Since 1969, everyone is entitled to one votes as long as he is a British citizen. Thus, lack of voting rights is no longer an issue.
Explain:
  • Since more Protestants get to vote, the Catholics were worried that more Protestants would come to power.
  • The Caholics thought that the government was biased, leading to conflict.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify: Lack of Opportunities for Social Interaction

Describe:
  • Protestant children attended government schools while Catholic children
