Mixed Blessings

The video Mixed Blessings was a very different videos but it was still good. When I think about Ireland and what is made up of I see farms, open fields for miles, and the Catholic Church and religion. I would have thought that Ireland would be rapidly rise with more people and businesses, because in today world Ireland has definitely became like America were anything seemed possibly. When I think about what has happened to Ireland I feel kind of bad about it because I have heard it’s been a beautiful place to visit. Ireland is no longer traditional and old fashion they once were but know they have become a young thriving new country. The part in the video were the church was being sold was hard to watch because a church if a place of respect it should have never been sold to then be made into a restaurant. Even though some of the changes seem upsetting I still believe that the changes happening are very good for the country because they are become more industrialized. There were some very cool facts about how Ireland didn’t let people get divorced until 1995 and if women were married they couldn’t work I don’t if that fact is cool but I defiantly says how far behind Ireland is. Women who were married could only be housewives but now the women’s work forces have dramatically increased. The there is another problem with Ireland changes is that I hope they can keep their economy keeps growing and doesn’t take a turn for the worst like America dream has happened today…
