An Article On The Syrian Refugee Camp

Saul’s article recognizes that the Syrian refugee crisis exists amidst citizen sponsorship, Aboriginal judgement, and disorder within EU countries’ immigrant policies. According to Saul, democracy in Canadian politics grants citizenship to immigrants without any obstacles. Canada’s immigration policies are transparent because they are balanced with civic participation. Saul thinks that multiculturalism is a forceful catalyst towards establishing equality and integrity for the refugees. In the first point, Saul does not agree that refugees should be privately sponsored and assisted by the government. In the second point, Saul indicates that Canada’s national identity is the product of the encounter between the Aboriginals and European settlers, which has resulted in citizenship. By entering the Inuit circle, immigrants can establish themselves as a strong unit not by having roots outside Canada, but by living with Canadian intellect. The immigrants should mold to nature because this is the way the Aboriginals have defined their understandings of life. As Sifton has noted, “the … government … made presentations … to potential immigrants, presenting beautiful images of the Rocky Mountains and thriving settled farmland” (475). In the last point, Saul comments on the European prejudices that are

The Refugee crisis across Europe and beyond is among the most complex topics in the world right now. Most of the refugees are coming from Syria, but why? Why can’t they just stay at home? Within the last 5 years there has been a mass exodus of civilians in Syria; other countries have experienced very similar scenarios with civilians leaving. With so many are leaving, it is quite difficult for refugees to find safe places to stay. About 6 years ago Syria was among the most stable countries in the Middle East (though ruled by what can be described as a dictator). However, civil war and economic problems have severely affected them. Their President Bashar Al-Assad has made many extremely controversial decisions. Two causes of the Syrian

On September of 2015, the image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi went viral. “The toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach had reverberated across the globe” (Parkinson & George-Cosh, 2015). Aylan’s family had “fled the brutal civil war in their native Syria and only attempted the boat crossing after Canada denied their application of admission as refugees. The image led to an astonishing outpouring of support for Syrian refugees” (Hein & Niazi, 2016).

Everyday, people all over the world are removed from their homes and forced to leave. You could be pushed out of your house from a foreclosure, or pushed out of your country from an extremist. In society today, thousands upon thousands of people are fleeing to a new country they can call “home” and where they can feel safe. Among these people, a big majority are the Syrian people. The Syrian Refugee Crisis has been relevant for about four years since the start of the Syrian civil war that began in March 2011, and is comparable to the Native Americans being pushed from their home lands. The Syrian Refugee Crisis equates to the Trail of Tears because both Syrians and refugees alike were pushed out of their homes, they were both forced to find

(“Quick Facts”) If they were accepted by the United States, they could continue the important education that they need; they currently have little to none. The U. N. stated: “ Nearly five years into the crisis, around 4 million children are out of school.” (Kallick et al) If they are not within walking distance, girls’ families will not send them because they are afraid they will not be well protected. (Lemmon) In Aleppo, Syria a concerned father named Rachid Hadri speaks about his kids: “I look at my daughter and my baby. They might grow up to be ignorant or illiterate. They will not know five times five because there is no education anymore.” (What Life Is Like in Aleppo) If they have no education, these children could face a very difficult times soon. In an interview with CNN Wire, Muzaffer Baca, the Vice President of the International Blue Crescent Relief and Development Foundation stated this about the refugee children: “Our future are the children. If we want a good generation we have to educate them, we have to keep them healthy psychologically and physically.”

I am writing this letter to you because I believe that the Syrian Refugee Crisis needs to be added to the grade ten Canadian History Since World War One course.

During the Holocaust Jews went on boats to other country's but they kept getting denied. The Fresno family did not go to that boat. St.Louis did get on that boat and sailed to many country's. While they were on the ship after a long time of sailing the ship most people started to feel queasy. They went to the U.S. and also Cuba, but both of them had denied them. That is one difference they had between them.

A current issue on the minds and agendas of the international community is the Syrian Refugee Crisis. The situation has only escalated since its start in 2011, and as the number of displaced Syrians reaches over 9 million, countries around the world, not just the ones in the Middle East, are increasing efforts to offer asylum and aid for these people. The Syrian Refugee Crisis began with peaceful anti-government protests in March of 2011, but after the violent response of the government, rebels, army defectors, and many civilians formed the Free Syrian Army by July of the same year (Mercy Corps, Sept 2nd, 2015). The presence of ISIS within Syria and the differing views of religious groups (namely Sunni and Shiite) in the country only add to the chaos of destruction of the country and the Syrian people’s lives and homes. With the constant state of war within the country, basic necessities like food, water, and shelter have become scarce and Syrian people are looking to find new homes of stability and safety. The large majority of Syrians have fled to the neighboring countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. However the burden of harboring these refugees has put huge stress on the countries as the sheer number of people entering the country becomes too much to handle. Today one in five people living in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee (Mercy Corps, Sept 2nd, 2015). With the neighboring countries already beyond capacity, Syrians are looking for shelter in places outside this

The world that Americans live in is entirely different from that in which the Syrians live in. A Syrian’s life is submersed in death and it is filled with the constant struggle to survive. The root of all this pain and suffering is a large group named ISIS. The word ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIS Is an anti-western militant group and they pose a great threat to America. They might even be considered one of the most successful militant groups in history and that is why Syrian are trying their hardest to escape. People loyal to the Syrian president often times bomb Syria causing over thousands of deaths. Syrians are looking for refuge in any country that will accept them but unfortunately for them several countries don’t want to accept them because the possible threat of terrorists blending in with refugees is still a very possible threat for several westernized countries. Around 4 million

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, over 6 million people have been killed or forced to flee their homes (MercyCorps). These Syrian refugees are everyday people which include families, children, and the elderly who have no choice but to leave their violent surroundings and struggle to make a home in neighboring countries. While some countries like Lebanon,

The Syrian refugees stories are moving in ways you could never imagine. one man said “We don’t even feel like we’re awake. I ask myself if we’re really here.”( washington post) the refugees are living in the worst and most inhumane conditions. A man who owns a junk yard has cleared away the cars and let 50 refugees stay in the space in the back of the junk yard. the conditions are horrific. Makeshift homes made of garbage, broken glass and metal shards carpet the ground, and Kids have cuts on hands and feet. there is one hose with an unknown source is used for drinking, cooking, bathing, etc.. Pregnant women don't know where they will have their babies, most likely give birth on the dirt floor of their makeshift homes.

The Syrian conflict is a global problem and if not dealt with will allow millions to die also not enough awareness of the problem is being raised. some refugees went for weeks without schooling for some it's been years. The average refugee can go for days without food or water in addition to the problem of schooling. Some of the refugees have fled to Lebanon which has

This issue was chosen due to its scope. The Syrian refugee crisis is among a list of issues that will not only shape the world in 2016 but also dominate news outlets in upcoming years. Because of the despairing situation, many governments are struggling to find ways to handle the rush of individuals seeking asylum, for the fact that it seems the crisis is worsening. In addition, the media coverage on the topic sparked my interest and led me to research information because I had no idea what was occurring and the detriment of the issue.

Despite the efforts of parents to keep traditions alive, children are changing, fighting over food, clothing and anything of any value. Many children feel like they are prisoners in their host countries. Many are not allowed to leave their homes due to safety concerns and chores that need to be completed. Twenty-nine percent of Syrian refugees leave their home less than once a week.

Since 2011, Syria has been engaged in a Civil War with protestors against the government and members of the extremist group ISIS, and approximately 7.6 million people have been displaced from their homes (usnews.com 2015). As the conflict destroys more homes and livelihoods each year, an increasing number of civilians have been forced to leave Syria and try to find safety elsewhere. Already a contentious issue, the Syrian refugee crisis has awakened tensions, both economic and social as debate erupts over what to do with the refugees.In response to the crisis, while some countries like Germany have pledged to help the refugees, (New Statesman 2015 1) only 2,340 have been admitted. Clearly, more needs to be done in order to help the refugees. Although there are economic and population concerns to be considered, the humanitarian conflict that faces the refugees and solutions already available are reason enough for Europe to increase the numbers of Syrian refugees allowed in.
