Ireland
Historical
Did you know that in Ireland, a long time ago, it was
against the law under English rule for an Irish man or
woman to be a teacher? But, the Irish have always had
a love of learning, so they did whatever they could to
educate their children. They created secret places
where teachers could teach their students in safety.
These became known as "Hedge Schools" because
they were often tucked away under hedges in the
countryside. Other secret places were under ruined
walls, in dry ditches by the roadside, or in old barns.
Most of these schools didn't have books, paper or
pencils, so the children learned their lessons by
listening to the teacher and then repeating the words of
Click to edit Master sub1tle style the lesson. In this way, many children learned Irish
history, traditions, mathematics, even languages such
as Latin and Greek!

wrong? If these are some of the questions you are
asking yourself, you are not alone. A broken heart
can cause such an intense reaction that many of us
feel our lives have been completely stripped of
meaning. Jobs, hobbies, and friends no longer hold
any joy for us. In fact, some even experience
physical pain with a tight chest, nervous stomach,

have to wait for time to heal these wounds?
Absolutely not. There are exercises that you can do

were developed by people who have been in this
pain and sought a better way to heal.

Washington, USA
19th Century
Mary Ann Hall catered to the nation’s elite in
Washington as the proprietor of the capital’s best
brothel during the Civil War.
Capitol on Maryland Avenue on what now is part of
the Mall, her house, a three-story structure nearly
the size of a city block, included parlors, an elegant
dining room and, almost assuredly, the most
attractive of the city’s estimated 5,000 “soiled
doves.”
Prostitution was not a crime in the 19th century, and
any concentration of troops during the Civil War
attracted flocks of “camp followers” who were
Click to edit Master sub1tle style available for a price. Women often would show up
after battles and offer their services to the generals
as nurses. The “nursing,” however, frequently
became an open door to those less honest and
caring, and when armies experienced theft,
prostitution and other less traditional forms of
nursing, generals sometimes rejected offers of
female help.
The slang word for prostitute, hooker, is generally
thought to have originated during the Civil War. For
generations, rumors claimed that Union Gen.
“Fighting Joe” Hooker had inspired the nickname
by his amorous relationships.

Stone Age man's life with his family and his next door

Critics and fans alike agree that the show was an
animated imitation of The Honeymooners with rock
puns thrown in. William Hanna admitted that "At that
time "The Honeymooners" was the most popular show
on the air, and for my bill, it was the funniest show on

Joseph Barbera disavowed these claims in a separate

"The Honeymooners" when I sold the show, but if
people want to compare "The Flintstones" to "The
Honeymooners," then great. It's a total compliment.
"The Honeymooners" was one of the greatest shows
ever written."[1] Its popularity rested heavily on its
juxtaposition of modern-day concerns in the Stone Age
setting.[2][3]

Ireland
Present
Ireland is famed throughout the world for the art of
storytelling. The seancaithe and scéalaí, the Tradition
Bearers and Storytellers, passed the old stories down
through the generations. Today, in the 21st Century,
there has been a revival of the ancient art. Founded in
2003, Storytellers of Ireland / Aos Scéal Éireann is an
All-Ireland voluntary organisation with Charitable Status.
Our aim is to promote the practice, study and
knowledge of oral storytelling in Ireland through the
preservation and perpetuation of traditional storytelling
and the development of storytelling as a contemporary
art. We aim to foster storytelling skills among all age
groups, from all cultural backgrounds. We also aim to
Click to edit Master sub1tle style explore new contexts for storytelling in public places –
in schools, community centres and libraries, in care
centres and prisons, in theatres, arts centres and at
festivals throughout the entire island of Ireland.
Storytelling is an intimate and interactive art. A
storyteller tells from memory rather than reading from a
book. A tale is not just the spoken equivalent of a
literary short story. It has no set text, but is endlessly re-
create in the telling. The listener is an essential part of
the storytelling process. For stories to live, they need
the hearts, minds and ears of listeners. Without the
listener there is no story.

Ireland
Ongoing
Irish generally prefer direct eye contact. People who
avoid eye contact may not be perceived as trustworthy.
The Irish are enthusiastic conversationalists and
debaters. A wide range of topics may be open to
discussion, including religion and politics. The best
policy, however, is to wait for your Irish companions to
bring up these two subjects; be prepared to hear very
strong and often confrontational opinions and be aware
that both subjects are highly contentious in Ireland due
to the country's history of invasion [see Introduction to
Ireland].
The Irish find arguments and opinionated conversation
entertaining, so don't hesitate to express your views if

be seen to be arrogant. The Irish are extremely proud of
their history and expect visitors--particularly the
English--to appreciate their years of suffering, conflict

prepared sometimes for a frosty welcome, though this
can usually be overcome with sincerity and good
conversation. The Irish do not stand for arrogance of

Ireland
Past and present
Ireland has been inhabited since 8000 BC when the
climate had become more hospitable following the
retreat of the polar icecaps of the latest ice age.
Celtics started coming to the island in the 6th century
BC, where language and cultural exchanges were made
in Ireland.
In the year 432 AD, St. Patrick arrived and transformed
Irish society by introducing the Roman alphabet, and by
converting the Irish to Christianity.
Ireland was invaded by the Vikings in the 8th century
AD who remained for two hundred years. It was the
Vikings who founded Dublin in the year 988.
England began seizing land in the 12th century, but
Click to edit Master sub1tle style many areas remained in Irish hands until the 16th
century.
A great famine occurred in Ireland between the years
1845 and 1847. During that time 1.5 million Irish died,
and about one million emigrated to the United States,
France, Switzerland and Canada.
In 1922, 26 Catholic counties of Ireland gained
independence from the United Kingdom. The remaining
six counties remained in the UK and became Northern
Ireland, which was mostly Protestant.

Since people began to communicate with each other,
"Tell me a story" has been a request of both children
and adults. Storytelling is one person telling others of
something. The story can be of a real event or it can be
made up. Storytelling is often a part of our everyday
conversations.
It is one of the earliest forms of folkart, it probably first
consisted of simple chants that praised the dawn,
expressed the joy of being alive, and were used to ease
the drudgery and boredom of laborious tasks. Later the
storyteller became the community entertainer by
combining their stories with poetry, music, and dance.
The storyteller also evolved into the group historian.
Click to edit Master sub1tle style This was the beginning of professional storytelling
Storytelling during the Middle Ages was expanded into
the art of the traveling troubadour, who journeyed
across the land. They were welcomed in castle, court,
and market place. They gathered the news, conveyed
the best tales, and were expected to know the favorites
in each region. The invention of moveable type and the
development of the print publishing business led to
reading replacing listening, and the decline of
storytelling..
