This paper examines how Morris Fraser, a child psychiatrist in Belfast, describes the effects of the 'troubles' on
children
growing up in Northern Ireland in "
Children in Conflict". It looks at how, while the book offers valuable insights for the behavioral sciences of psychology and sociology as a whole, it also succeeds in establishing the manner in which society can, consciously and unconsciously, end up perpetuating an existing social problem. In particular, it discusses how Fraser shows the role played by educational, religious, and familial and peer group structures in fostering enmity through future generations and how it is all in the name of
ideology and culture.
