Zoe’s World: Celebrity Culture Is The New Religion For Some

I HAVE a new theory. Tradition in Ireland has practically faded away. Religion has been moved to the back burner in our society, and truly a lot of things have changed. Of course, you can’t just shove such tradition out the window without replacing it with something else. We have to […]
