Spor af the Troubles

This picture of a ramshackle house shows us that the city still is affected by the Troubles. The city has a difficult time being rebuildt. On Falls Road the houses were different than the houses on Shankill Road, which tell us about the difference between the Catholics and the Protestants.

This picture is a mural of the hunger strikers. Lots of the murals from the Troubles are still intact, which shows the meaning of the Troubles and what affect it had and still has on the Northern Irishmen

This man was a very good example of a Catholic who is still affected by the Troubles. It meant a lot to him to get to show around at the cemetery. He hornored the heroes from the past and he made a great deal out of telling us that they were innocent.

We saw a poster which said: "Britain out of Ireland". The poster showed us that some people still are against the British rule in Northern Ireland even though the conflict ended so many years ago. There was also a girl school which seperated boys and girls and that characterizes the Catholic way of thinking. Some schools are divided in Catholics and Protestants and some schools are mixed together.

We saw a Peaceline which were opened one day and closed the next day which shows us that it still has a function today. The people we interwieved told us there still are places where both parts are not welcomed. Today it is not an issue to be at each others areas but people are still affected about what happened in the past.

The older generation thinks it is the younger Irish generation that has to gather both Protestants and Catholics because they are not affected by the Troubles.
