Comparing Hardships And Challenges In Refugee, By Alan Gratz

Refugee is about a boy named Mahmoud and his family. Refugee is written by Alan Gratz and begins in the Middle East and ends in Europe. The trouble starts when their house in Aleppo, Syria is destroyed by a missile, and they are forced to find a home elsewhere. They decide to make the treacherous journey to Germany. On their way they have to make life and death decisions and have to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the countries welcome Mahmoud and his family, but on their way through Hungary, they were beaten and harmed by tear gas. This book has many turns in it. For example, while trying

‘The Happiest Refugee’ discusses various concepts including the effects of war, the trauma that refugees experience, their desire to contribute to society and our negative attitudes towards them. After the war, South Vietnamese soldiers and their families were captured by the North Vietnamese Communists and held in labour camps. Some of these prisoners were eventually released (after 1976), however, they had no right to education, employment or government supplied food rations. If Ahn had not left this oppressive environment, he would have grown up in extreme poverty and would be a very different person due to the trauma that

Ahn had not left this oppressive environment, he would have grown up in extreme poverty and would be a very different person due to the trauma that poverty causes. Refugees are here to escape poverty and persecution; because they have experienced severe trauma, they are at a much higher risk of psychiatric illness than the general population. I believe that these statistics can be reduced if our negative attitude towards marginalized groups changes. Because of the media and government induced stereotypes, Australians often show disdain towards refugees. This inhibits their adjustment to Australian society and creates further division among us. 'The Happiest Refugee' is a valuable resource in the fight against racism because it shows that refugees share our values, embrace our culture and are eager to contribute to Australian society, and I strongly support it’s inclusion in the Rochedale State High School English program.

In both of these articles they talk about refugees. Some families had adjusted a new life after all the bad things that happened to them. When the refugees were being sent away, they felt queasy about where they were going. All the refugees thought they were going to get a document and be U.S. citizens. But they weren't, they were being sent to internment camps. And had to live there.

In the article “Shattered Lives” by Kristin Lewis, Dania the main character faces many challenges that a refugee goes through. One challenge is having very few resources like food, water, shelter, and clothing. The text implies on page 7, “It is common to see children with nothing more than pajamas to wear.” The text explains that clothing is limited for refugees. People are solving that problem by sending organizations like the UNHCR and UNICEF to help with giving families clothes and other things that they need to survive. Another challenge refugees face is going to school because going to school became too dangerous for most kids. The article states on page 9,”…far too dangerous and cold to walk.” The article shows that going to school

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.

As I sat on the back bench of a 12 passenger van with a coffee in my hand and my head on the back of the seat in front of me, I realized I had nothing left to give. All of energy was gone. I had come to the end of myself. We were driving down a bumpy road to an apartment complex filled with new faces from far away countries. As we drove I realized how much we had been doing every day and the weight of the things we had seen started to sink in. The refugees of Clarkson, Georgia had been through so much and I was getting a small glimpse into their lives during this week. However, it was Thursday afternoon and I was tired. We had been helping kids in the school all morning, then explored and ate at an international market, and my stomach was starting to turn from the ethnic food we had eaten. As we drove along and our leader described the after school program we would be working with I realized how physically exhausted I was. I began to pray for strength from God, and I told him that anything that

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” A quote by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, during his inaugural address in 1933. At that time, America was in the Great Depression, and people needed a message to remind them that they will not get anywhere by being scared. What FDR meant in his quote was that trying new things, conquering obstacles is the right thing to do, and being to scared to try something is just unacceptable. The word ‘fearless’.

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.

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

Refugees “Today, more than 14 million men, women, and children have been forced to flee their homes, towns, and countries because they are afraid to stay” (Gevert, “Refugees: Who, Where, Why”). Refugees come from all over the world to seek protection to escape their country from war, poverty, disease and natural disasters. A refugee is a person who is forced their home because of a fear for their lives to stay.

Refugees are people who are forced to leave their home country due to disastrous circumstances. In most cases, this major event is war. These refugees come from all different regions of the Earth. Despite their different origins, these refugees often share similar experiences. In the novel, Inside Out & Back Again, by Thanhha Lai, along with the articles, “Vietnamese Boat People” by C.N. Trueman, “The Future of Syria” by Natalie Dorfman and “Children of War” written by Arthur Brice, the refugees are depicted as having their lives turned “inside out” and “back again”. The fictional character Ha is representative of real life refugees because she too has escaped her home country by boat, been separated from a family member and has had to

Is the U.S. considered anti-immigrant or just playing it safe? As you read these two accounts, you will come to find out that they both discuss the issue and hardships of refugees and war. A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country because of a natural disaster like the Holocaust or an ISIS attack. A big issue that is dicussed in these articles is the amount of refugees being let into the country.

Granting a substantial amount of un-vetted refugees access to a country cannot come without substantial consequence. By offering access to asylum, one is exposing the country to problems such as rising crime rate, economic hardships, social problems, and other problems that unvetted refugees bear and and potentially bringing more problems and make already rampant problems much worse. My argument is not saying to stop all flow of refugees, but instead of allowing any who wants refuge in, precautions need to be taken such as proper vetting and background screening. Vetting is the process in which an immigrant has their background checked before they are allowed into their country of refuge. Allowing large amounts of refugees into a country without vetting or regulation results in more problems than it solves.

In 1942, millions of jews lost their lives to hitler’s forces. The world wanted to take action. In 2015, the world still is not taking action and repeating the same mistakes of 73 years prior. The world hasn't learn there lesson from the Holocaust.
