Ireland Pocket Adventures: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ireland Pocket Adventures" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Designed as the major component of a comprehensive model of educational management, a behavioral model of decision making is presented that approximates the synoptic model of neoclassical economic theory. The synoptic model defines all possible alternatives and provides a basis for choosing that alternative which maximizes expected utility. The more pragmatic or realistic behavioral model is based on a recursive programing paradigm, in which the decision maker has knowledge only of the state of the organization and its movement toward a selected goal. The two codeterminate aspects of this behavioral model are (1) the technology, plan, or curriculum; and (2) the management of that technology, the implementation of the plan, or the teachers use of the curriculum. The model is illustrated by use of computer assisted instruction (CAI) and individually prescribed instruction (IPI). Program monitoring requires both a behavioral decision model and a conceptual framework, allowing the decision maker to distinguish between the plan and its implementation. This paper is related to document EA 002 902. (JK).

Introduction

Ireland has a lot to offer - unforgettable scenery friendly people and - photo 1

Ireland has a lot to offer - unforgettable scenery, friendly people, and opportunities to enjoy a huge range of sports, entertainment of all kinds, and historic sites to explore. About 100 million people around the world claim some Irish ancestry, so many visitors come here to discover their roots.

Although Ireland is small, there is much to make a stay here truly unforgettable. Ireland has a surprisingly varied landscape. Outside our cities are areas where there is little traffic, and the only sounds are birdsong or waves crashing against the shore.

One of Irelands greatest assets is its people, who are generally friendly and talkative. Many are creative, and our writers, dramatists, composers, musicians, artists, filmmakers, craftspeople and fashion designers have an international reputation that is staggering, considering the size of the country.

The island is made up of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the latter being part of the UK (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Northern Ireland is also called Ulster, the Six Counties, or just the North. To avoid confusion, I use the Republic and the North to distinguish between the two parts of the island. Where material refers to the entire island, it is called Ireland. Those of us who live in the Republic call our country Ireland, and not ire - its name in Irish and used on our postage stamps.
The People & Their Culture
Population

Ireland Pocket Adventures - image 2

The population of the Republic is 3.9 million (Census 2002) and of Northern Ireland 1.6 million (Census 2001). In the Republic, majority live in urban centers, and the western seaboard is sparsely populated. About 40% of the entire population of the Republic lives within 60 miles (97 km) of Dublin; and only 9% live in its northwest region, made up of counties Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan and Sligo.

Northern Ireland is the second most sparsely populated part of the UK, after Scotland, with 317 people per square mile (122 per square km), and with a predominantly young population - 25% under 16 and 37% under 25.

Religion

The Republics constitution guarantees freedom of conscience and the free profession and practice of religion to all citizens. According to a recent census, the populations religions were: Roman Catholic, 91%; Church of Ireland (Anglican), 2.5%; Presbyterian, 0.4%; Methodist, 0.1%; Jewish, less than 0.1%; and about 3% belonging to other religious groupings or with no specific beliefs. While the majority still marries in church and have their children christened, few attend church regularly, especially in urban centers.

The Norths Two Communities

Protestants outnumber Catholics, although that is gradually changing. In the 2001 census 40.3% stated their religion as Catholic, an increase of 3% in 10 years. Catholics are in the majority in some parts of Ulster - Derry City, County Fermanagh,County Armagh and parts of Belfast. In the most recent census 20.7% were recorded as Presbyterian, 15.3% as Church of Ireland and 3.5% as Methodist, and a further 6.1% belonged to other Protestant, Christian or Christian-related denominations.

Social Change

There have been huge changes in attitude towards sexuality over the last 20 years or so, although conservative groups continue to be a force. Note that divorce became legal in the Republic only in the 90s. Despite some criticism, theres an acceptance of couples living together out of wedlock and of children born to single mothers.
Attitudes towards homosexuality have been slower to change, some of this caused by ignorance and a confusion about pedophilia within the Catholic Church exposed in the 1990s, so unfortunately sometimes gays are seen as dangerous to children. Cities have gay pubs and clubs, publications, help lines and a general acceptance, but in quieter areas of the Republic there is still prejudice. Gay visitors should not worry, as tourists are accepted and not expected to have the same mores as residents. Whatever your sexuality, be sensible about how you behave in public, especially rural areas.
