 City Journal Spring 1997 | How Dagger John Saved New York’s Irish by William J. Stern
And just as John Wesley, the founder of Methodism in the late eighteenth century, had sparked a change in the culture of the English working class that made it unusually industrious and virtuous, so too a clergyman was the catalyst for the cultural change that liberated New York’s Irish from their underclass behavior.
Hughes believed that the relentless barrage of anti-Catholic prejudice that greeted them in their new land was demoralizing the already disadvantaged immigrants and holding back their progress.
Hughes and Ives made it clear that these children were the community’s responsibility: their own Irish parents—not the nativists or the unfeeling city—had abandoned them to their plight.

 John Hughes : Biography : Ferris Bueller Dot Net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
John Hughes' films are set in the familiar mid-American landscape of well-lit shopping malls, neat two-story houses, and--most especially--locker-lined high school corridors.
Here, the middle- to lower-middle-class characters achieve liberation by resisting the snares of the status quo; the rich kids, on the other hand, are trapped in a life of mean-spirited hedonism because of their blind allegiance to a system that fosters petty rivalries and inhumane expectations.
It is easy to dismiss Hughes as a mere "high school humanist." His characters do, however, ask themselves some tough questions, and they do come up with honest answers.

This was impudently opposed by those who were employed in the Italian opera; and, what cannot be told without indignation, the intruders had such interest with the duke of Shrewsbury, then lord Chamberlain, who had married an Italian, as to obtain an obstruction of the profits, though not an inhibition of the performance.
Hughes had hitherto suffered the mortifications of a narrow fortune; but in 1717 the lord chancellor Cowper set him at ease, by making him secretary to the Commissions of the Peace; in which he afterwards, by a particular request, desired his successor lord Parker to continue him.
