It forms the functional framework that predetermines ones actions and behavior. Furthermore, social identity decides on the status of the social class and their material life situation.

"Fiction, Amusement, Instruction": The Irish Fireside Club and the Educational Ideology of the Gaelic LeagueThe “Irish Fireside Club” was a newspaper column (attached for most of its lifespan to the Weekly Freeman) that developed into the largest children’s association in Ireland in the late 1880s, with tens of thousand of child members. Its teachings reflected the growing cultural nationalist current in Irish society, as it focused on the academic study of the Irish language, history and literature, along with promoting social instruction concerning equality of the sexes, self-sufficiency, independence and the need for unity to enable social progress. The purpose of this essay is to examine the educational ideology of the “Irish Fireside Club” and determine its formative and enduring influence upon the leading public figures of the early twentieth century who came of age during the fin de siècle. These figures included Éamon de Valera, Agnes O’Farrelly, William Rooney, Henry Morris, Thomas Concannon, Éamon O’Neill, George Moonan, Máire Ní Chillín, Stiofán Bairéad, Michael Mullen, and many others.

As the dominant intellectual figure in the early Irish protestant church, James Ussher played a key role in defining its sense of identity in Ireland. He created an 'origin myth' for the Church of Ireland,, giving it historical legitimacy by tracing its origins back to St Patrick, and his apocalyptic view of the Pope as Antichrist shaped Irish protestant anti-Catholicism for centuries to come.

Shaping history: James Ussher and the Church of Ireland2017 •
James Ussher played a crucial role in shaping the way in which the Protestant Church of Ireland saw its past. He constructed an origin myth for the church which traced its origin back to St Patrick and an early Irish church which, Ussher claimed, was independent of Rome. This version of its history remained highly influential in the Church of Ireland right down to the middle of the twentieth century, until historians dismantled its assumptions.

The Dublin Society in Eighteenth-Century Irish Political Thought2004 •
Through an analysis of the debate between Charles Davenant in England, and Arthur Dobbs, Thomas Prior, and Samuel Madden in Ireland, it establishes that the founders saw the society as a response to Ireland's dependent status in the emerging British empire. The Dublin Society distinguished itself from other improving societies in the British Isles because it explicitly represented a new principle of sociality. The article describes the cultural origins of that principle arguing that a diverse set of groups converged on the ideal of association as a new form of order. The article concludes with a consideration of Madden's understanding, derived from his commitment to improving associations, that Irish national life was best understood as the pursuit of happiness rather than justice or virtue.
