For our New York Times project, we chose to focus on various types of cultures. Everyone in our group is from a different cultural background, so choosing who wrote about what culture was very easy to do. I’ve noticed since coming to the city that Italian culture is extremely common everywhere you go. Being half Italian and half Irish, I thought speaking about Irish culture would be more interesting for everyone else and for myself because it isn’t commonly spoken about. I found an article speaking about an Irish culture museum, so I thought that would be perfect for this topic. The purpose of the museum opening was to bring light to Irish culture which sometimes seems to be forgotten, which is exactly what my goal was in discussing Irish culture.
