A Hero's Journey Research Paper

Social policy has a role in limiting people’s exposure to risks and making sure that their basic needs are met. Yet, the high mortality rates and the insufficient access to health services shows the Government is not completely pursuing policies to save the refugees completely (McClelland, A. 2014.

Today was my first lesson in humility. Some of the elder Monks had reprimanded me for my selfish thoughts and words. This was my first transgression and thus I was taught my lesson behind closed doors.

From what I have learned about the Hero’s Journey, I could relate it to myself as an example in numerous ways. I believe that the day since a person is born until the day they pass away is a hero’s journey. There are different situations that a person has to deal with during their journey of life. During a person’s life, there is always at least a mentor. For me, my mentors are my parents and teachers. The mentor's job is to help and guide the hero. My parents, who act as a mentor to me, provide guidance, direction, and protection. They motivate and support me to see me reach my goals and be successful in our lives. When I am going on a wrong path, they will assist me to put me back on the right path. They teach me different skills in order

Regardless of what the United States government ultimately decides to do, it is important to stay open minded in drastic times like these. By attempting to remove the stereotype refugees have to carry around with them, assessing which countries we want to be associated with, and working to help those in need while keeping the security of American citizens in-tact-- America will be playing a very beneficial role in helping refugees acquire

Caring for one another, it's vital for every being to care for one another, especially humans, and even more at this time. This country was founded by these proclaimed “illegal aliens”. Refugees are barely escaping with their lives, and we have a duty, a human right and an international legal duty to help them survive. They came here for a better life and that's exactly what these modern day refugees seek. Those who constantly reject them and view them as less valuable than everyone else obviously haven't even thought about the way they fee and should be ashamed. They are coming from literal nothingness where they are just looking for safety. So, obviously if they’re engulfed in conflict, most will lack adequate documentation. The United States

The stages of the Hero’s Journey can be found in myths, fairy tales, dreams, and movies. All of these movies will experience the same stages but different stories. To begin with, before the Hero takes his journey he starts off in the ordinary world that allows us to understand his background, problems, characteristics and flaws. After understanding where he is from, the Hero then gets “The Call to Adventure”. This call can either ruin or drastically change the Hero’s ordinary world. Usually the call is for the Hero to fix a problem into the special world. Many Hero’s may reject that call which is known as the “Refusal of the Call”. The reason for them refusing could be because of either fear, obligation, insecurity, or sense of duty. Once they accept the

Somehow, Faelan managed to find her way to the garden. She did admit, rather reluctantly, that she had exited the castle as soon as she could and then followed the pebbled road towards greenery in the distance. She arrived first and took the opportunity to look around at the maze of green. There were emerald hedges that raced around in linear lines and flourishing flowers ordered and sectioned off between gaps in the hedges, as well, as impressive marble benches stationed at intervals along the path. Although it was much larger than the quaint garden in Highever, Faelan couldn’t help but be reminded of home. She fingered a still budding rose and thought briefly of her brother, Fergus.

Nonetheless, these refugees shouldn’t have lost their freedom, their country, or their live and to cross over border facing dangerous hazards just to find a refugee’s camp and where they could never call

Martin Luther King, Jr., always fought for what he believed in. No matter how difficult the fight got he never gave up. He always accepted the call to adventure. High school is soon coming to an end and I will begin my own hero's journey.

These contracts create certain opportunities and obligations for members of the given society, but those obligations do not extend beyond the members of that society. Since refugees exist outside that society, obligations of any given nation are not bound by any ethical or political contract. Philosopher Christopher Wellman takes this a step farther, arguing that we have the freedom to associate with who we want and therefore have no obligations to refugees. “In this article I appeal to freedom of association to defend a state’s right to control immigration over its territorial borders. Without denying that those of us in wealthy societies may have extremely demanding duties of global distributive justice, I ultimately reach the stark conclusion that every legitimate state has the right to close its doors to all potential immigrants, even refugees desperately seeking asylum from incompetent or corrupt political regimes that are either unable or unwilling to protect their citizens’ basic moral rights” (Wellman). Wellman takes into consideration that governments are not moral actors, and it is not their duty, under any circumstances, to take in refugees from outside their country. He claims that people of a nation make a commitment to the country itself, and not to outside people. Therefore, they have no obligation to take in refugees, as they do not have a social contract to do

The term refugee has been used a lot lately in the news and other media outlets. As Americans when we hear or think about a refugee, we always think of others. We think of the displaced Syrians and the children of war in Africa, we think of refugees from Afghanistan and those migrating here from the Middle East fearing prosecution of their oppressed governments; hardly ever we give a thought of such term in association with an American. Our responsibility as global citizens in the Middle Eastern refugee crisis is to take in how the origins, beginning of their journey, foreign immigrant policies, and U.S immigrant policies all come to the point where we should not take in more refugees.

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to

Because Syrian refugees are fleeing terrorism and poverty as the conflict escalates in their home country, European countries have a moral obligation to help those who are forced to seek asylum. For instance, in their New Statesman article on January 17, 2014 (2014 1) on the UN meeting discussing increased aid for Syrian refugees and Britain’s refusal to accept any, the article states,

I think that the most important policy to enable is housing for the refugees. They are coming form horrible places. Sleeping on the ground, no electricity, no running water, no place to be safe. Shouldn’t the first thing we give them be a safe-haven? They came from nothing, with nothing to call their own, probably with the fear of being killed every night. To counteract this fear and to give them an asylum. When we adopt dogs from the shelter, or buy them, the first thing we do is buy them a bed. Something that is theirs. Constant. Safe. Why should we not treat a refugee, a human being, with at least the same treatment we give animals? Why should we not give them their own bed? Or better yet, their own home? In this country, I see a repeating pattern of the better treatment of animals than of humans.

For example, in 2014 17.5 million individuals were displaced from their homes due to weather disasters. When this many people are affected by a disaster, relief and recovery efforts should, theoretically, be implemented with ease. However, scholars in the international field debate who has the most responsibility in giving aid and providing asylum.
