Being A Refugee

The trauma that refugees experience is a major determinant in their health. Many refugees have experienced great amounts of trauma, which puts them at risk for more health problems. For instance, Wagner et al., (2013) showed that refugees who reported greater trauma symptoms were more likely to report heart disease, hypertension, and lower levels of self-reported health. In addition to exacerbating the physical health problems, trauma was also associated with the following barriers to healthcare: lack of understanding, cost and access problems, and the need for an interpreter. In addition, Wagner et al. (2013) showed that refugee populations who came to the United States 20-30 years ago still exhibited many trauma symptoms. This means that

No one is prepared for war and the most challenging decisions you will have to make to survive.

An extensive structure taken of Raye weeping followed by a remote taken of the moon enhances her concern towards Maisara “I’ve had issues holding child birth through…I do know where she’s arriving from…” examines how by your same circumstances as others, people are able to empathise.

“Doesn’t the world see the suffering of the millions of refugees of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn’t the world see this injustice?” (Ismail Haniyeh). This is how many of the universal refugees feel. There are millions of refugees all over the world in similar situations. This is also similar to how Ha feels in the book “Inside Out and Back Again.” Ha’s life mirrors the universal refugee experience because many lives are turned inside out, they have to get used to their new living arrangements, and they have to adapt to a new world.

universal refugee experience is shared with many refugees, including having to learn a new language, becoming sick and malnourished, and having to make new friends in their new home.

Refugee camps are places around the world where people who were forced out of their go and stay temporarily. The camps are not a nice resort or a place to have fun, they have worn down tents for people to stay and very low sanitation. In the book Other Side of the Sky Farah the main character escapes Afghanistan and later on stays at a refugee camp. In the refugee camps refugees live in tough conditions, Farah and her Mother have a hard time in the camps especially with her mother's problems, which many refugees also face. In the refugee camp Farah says “If I'm going to sink anyway what does it matter whether I think we sink quickly or slowly. You lose your drive (Ahmedi 123).” These camps have poor sanitation, are overly crowded, there are many

This essay is about the universal refugee experience and the hardships that they have to go through on their journey. Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and other refugees from the article “Children of War” all struggle with the unsettling feeling of being inside out because they no longer own the things that mean the most to them. Ha and the other refugees all encounter similar curiosities of overcoming the finding of that back again peaceful consciousness in the “new world” that they are living in .

More and more Muslims are escaping their home country at an astonishing rate,but the question is who will let them in their country? The article “Brave New World” written by Melissa Eddy illustrates the struggles of young Muslims escaping their country in order to find a new life. Countries have antagonized the Muslim refugees as “terrorists”. If the Muslims are rejected from every country they will be forced to stay in their own country. What thought to be a warm welcome turns into antagonism.

Refugees are a vulnerable group who has given up everything in a pursuit of a better life. Cultures from across the world differ in extreme ways. However, with that said no one culture or ideas is the better than the other. Each culture brings different strengths and weaknesses and the best to utilize those strengths is to put them together with the strengths of the others. Cultural competency is something that has to be continually worked on and studied. Cultural differences can make working together very difficult, but with patience, dedication, empathy, and collaboration it can be done. However, without those things the results can be devastating.

The decision on whether to deny or accept the entry of refugees into America has been a controversial issue in today’s current events. Many American citizens have resolved to heated conflicts when expressing their differing opinions on whether the refugee policy should be revised or not.

Ha and other refugees Struggle, Face, Worry and Challenges. The challenge they both have in common is that they had to face challenges along they way. Their challenges were hard to face because, Ha go bullied and didn’t like the food, doesn’t want to being a different religion and trying to know her land. In “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” they had to face the same challenges, but not all that are the same. The “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” tells who were the people that were refugees, and where the refugees are going also why they decided to flee their home. “Today our cowboy brings a paper bucket of chicken, skin crispy and golden, smelling of perfection.” (Lai 119). Connecting to the new life in Alabama and how hard it is for Ha and her family

The start of the Atlantic National refugee is the start of all the findings in the areas of mountains and where the animals of the towns come into the picture and play a huge role in their culture.

From 1991 over one-sixth of Bhutan’s people flee their country and take a shelter in Nepal, India and other countries around the world. The large populations of Bhutanese refugee are called lhotshamps, an ethnic group, who were forced to leave their country in the early 1990s. Among 105,000 Bhutanese I’m one of them. I was born in a hut made of bamboo, food rations, and dirt roads. We are hostile, unsettled, unsure of who we are and what future held for us. I often think can we ever able to get rid out of the tag called “refugee” would my life ever changed, while ongoing tussled between mind and outside world finally in 2008 United States open a door for us to settled in the United States a “promised land” with full of struggle in 2009 we came here at Grand Forks. As I was growing up in the refugee camp I have seen a countless number of violence, crimes, injuries, and rebuff that words can’t be described. Most importantly death of people from a disease that can be a cure if, we have enough facilities such as, advanced medical training and hospitals. Although during my early childhood I have seen so much of maltreatment and practices, I always thought of having a career in health-related profession because I wanted to invest and improve the lives of individuals so that their children don't have to orphans, forced to work when their parent died, nor they have to beg for food. When I was 10 years old, my friend and I were trying to climb up the mango tree and I step in

The challenges the refugees had to face included the complications of their pasts, and how wars in their home countries altered their lives. From the wars, members of families were scattered not only through America, but through the world from displacement and resettlement. Other family members were shot or killed, sometimes in front of the refugees. “...Luma expressed frustration that a young Liberian player seemed to suddenly zone out during play. Another Liberian who knew the boy told her she didn’t understand: the boy was forced by soldiers to shoot a close friend,” (John 58). In some cases, people were thrown into jail for no reason, or without proof of wrongdoing. Paula Belegarmire’s husband was fallaciously taken from his home and jailed

ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, wants to establish a new Islamic caliphate across the Middle East which has caused many refugees to flee the country in their state of fear. Approximately 13.5 million refugees in the Middle East are in need of humanitarian assistance (What you need to know: Crisis in Syria, refugees, and the impact on children). The group that has risen terror in many have given the natives of the country an ultimatum; convert to Islam, leave or die. It is quite simple. The Christian refugees are fleeing their native country because of the radical violence towards women, trepidation on death, and fear for their children’s safety. The refugees are waiting patiently for world peace and to be accepted among other communities.
