  • This recording was made by Paris T. as part of the 2024 Psychology of Peace course at Mount Mary University, which included a study abroad trip to Ireland over J term.

    Description from creator: "My story describes the education. I noticed a lot of difference between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland being mainly under the control of the British crown. I noticed a lot of things about industrialization in different parts of the Nation. I loved the entire nation less than its history. However, when I took a moment to reflect on all the information, I have learned about the IRA termed Irish republic assembly or Catholics."
