There are a lot of Irish in the United States because many Irish immigrated to USA at the middle of 1800s. Most of them were starved at their homeland. It is because of The Great Hunger.
Irish ate potato at that time. They couldn’t eat other crops easily, because Britain took a lot of crops such as corns and wheat. Potatoes were the most common crops. At result, Irish ate potatoes. (The 1/3 of crops that Ireland produced was potatoes.)
The problem happened at the year of 1847. Disease for potatoes rapidly spread to whole area of Ireland. The disease took potatoes out from Irish. However, the plundering of Britain was not decrease. At result, there was no food for Irish. No potato meant “no food” to Irish. (Math time. whole crop=3, crop for Britain=2, potato=1. 3-2-1=0. simple.)
The result was horrible. 2 million people, the ¼ of Irish were die of hunger and 2 million people left Ireland; the half of population died or immigrate to other countries. The event is the 19 century’s most terrible disaster.
This I believe that people can’t judge others because each people have both of good and bad things. It has no standard and it can’t have standard. There are 6 billion small worlds in the world. That means many people live in the world and each of them has different lives.
Artifacts can be judged because it has certain standard. For example, computer’s value is decided by its CPU, RAM, HDD, monitor, key board, mouse and etc. however, human being is living thing, not artifact. Living things are able to be changed by environment; there are lots of different human on the Earth.
For the reason, people supposed not to be judged. The potatoes are good crop. It is easy to grow, harvested a lot, and tasted good. But, it is not funny to be onl y potato. Rice is good too and wheat is good either. The tolerance of difference is the best way to be happy life because difference makes society funny.
