The Irish Conflict, An Example of Violent Conflict within Christianity
KENDALLOVÁ, Jitka
The Bachelor dissertation focuses on the problem of the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. Special attention is drawn to the situation in the province of Ulster. The work focuses on two crucial issues. Firstly the systematic repression of the rights of minority groups and the inability by formally declared democracy to prevent violence in the face of the majority in a modern country like Great Britain. Secondly with reference to a particular Northern-Irish conflict it focuses on the problem of using religion for asserting political aims. Both of these problems lead to a municipal problem which is the relationship between religion, politics and society in 20th century. Analysis comes partly from reflection of the historical formation of the conflict. The conflict itself as a specific social phenomenon is examined with reference to the common theory of conflict of Ralf Dahrendorf. The problematic relationship between politics, religion and violence is examined with reference to the sociological concept of Mark Juergensmeyer and Max Weber and the concept of Christian ethics.
