immigrants and first-generation Irish-Americans come to dominate the hierarchy of the American

Irish immigrants and first-generation Irish-Americans coming to dominate the hierarchy of the American
Catholic Church in the late 19th century, would fall under either the cultural or the religious lens. The

event to the religious lens.
Question 4:
In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so?

the early twentieth century.
Immigration to the United States coming to have been seen as a "rite of passage" for young Québécois
women in the early 20th century, would fall under the social and cultural lenses. A ”rite of passage” is a
social cultural event and not a true requirement, in the sense that one could still live and thrive without,
but cultural social views would make one an outsider if not to participate.
