My comment is that I am doing a paper for my cultural diversity class at Axia Collage at University of Phoenix and one of the assignment questions that I have to answer for this paper is "Do I culturally identify more with the ethnic group that I chose to write about(the Scotch-Irish), with the United States mainstream culture, or both equally?"...Well I was about to answer this question with the response that I culturally identify more with the United States mainstream culture, because I do not know enough about the Scotch-Irish culture to respond otherwise. That is untill I googled Scotch-Irish culture and found a result that led me to this book....The abstract of the result stated how the book explores the Scotch-Irish culture of isolation, hardluck, stubborness, and mistrust of the nation's elite formed and that peeked my interest in exactly how much my Scotch-Irish roots could possibly be the main influence for alot of my personality. I strongly prefere isolation(from pretty much everyone except my husband&children), I am dangerously stubborn(I won't bend nor back down unless there is absolutely no other choice), my whole 33 years on this planet is one hardluck story after another, and I have an intencely extreme mistrust of anyone outside my inner circle(which consists of blue collar-lower class-economically poor friends&family).....I really can't wait to get my hands on the entire book, so that if nothing else, I can learn more about this half of my heritage.
