Dbq Syrian Refugees Crisis

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

As seen in the document many were protesting against all immigration, especially Jewish refugees. People just wanted self - preservation and to try and save the Christian religion and their French culture.

The reason behind Syrians fleeing their home country is to get away from the absolute violence, Syrian civil war has caused, the collapsing infrastructure of the country, and to keep children safe.The outbreak of a civil war in March 2011 caused 9 million Syrians to leave since then (“Syrian Refugees: A Snapshot of the Crisis – in the Middle East and Europe” 1). The Syrian Civil War has left more than two-hundred forty thousand people dead, including twelve thousand children.

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.

It is all the more important to think about refugees as more than just helpless people who will drain the resources of new countries but as hard-working and skilled people with unique cultures who want to thrive in new lands until they can return home. The Syrian civil war is going into its sixth year. With over 4.8 million externally displaced, the Syrian Refugee Crisis is becoming a massive international

Syrians have been fleeing Syria since the Civil War that started in 2011. Nine million people have fled for shelter from the civil war. Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq all have been involved in monitoring the influx of immigrants, migrating to European countries. These countries population have grown at a rapid pace and now the refugees must go beyond those neighboring countries of Syria for a new place to live. Over 250,000 people have died in Syria every since the war erupted. The largest amounts of refugees to date, have all come from Syria, and are facing obstacles seeking refuge in Europe now. Only 1,500 Syrian refugees have been accepted into the United States since 2011, but the Obama administration announced in September that 10,000 Syrians will be allowed entry in the next couple of years.

The world has not seen a disaster quite as extreme as Syria’s refugee crisis since the event of World War II. With civil unrest and violence disfiguring the nation into a place where only destruction is promised, the state of Syria has forced millions of people out of their homes with no choice but to flee. Without a secure destination ahead, the war is just one problem out of the many that refugees will come face-to-face with on their road to safety. Many countries have voiced their position on the matter and are either allowing few to stay within their territories or denying these people help altogether. Although there are more than four million Syrian refugees, the United States has accepted only 1,500 of them over the last four years (Gordon, Smale, and Lyman). Comparing these numbers, it’s clear just how little is being done to alleviate the situation. Even countries that have the power to do so, such as the United States, remain unhelpful. The question that arises out of this is: why exactly are countries hesitant to take these people in? In the articles “U.S. Will Accept More Refugees as Crisis Grows” by Michael R. Gordon, Alison Smale, and Rick Lyman, “Refugee Crisis in Syria Raises Fears in South Carolina” by Richard Fausset, and video clip of HBO 's Last Week Tonight by John Oliver, each spokesperson hints at or explicitly states that the reason is not all in good theory. The xenophobia and stereotyping of Muslim people being terrorists are preventing nations from

Since 2011, Syria has been having a civil war between the government and the Free Syrian Army. The protests and the war were the cause of people wanting democracy. President Bashar al-Assad and his loyal troops are fighting against the people protesting. ISIS is also trying to conquer territory in Iraq and Syria. This much violence displaced many people and destroyed their homes. Refugees from all over Syria are fleeing to neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, and Turkey. Over 4.5 million people have fled Syria since the start of the war and 6.5 million people in Syria are currently homeless. Refugees are doing what they can to get further away from the violence. A lot of them want to go through Europe all the way to Germany

Currently, Syria is in the middle of a civil war. Many innocent civilians are being bombed on and shot at by their own government. They are fleeing their homes in hopes of a safe future. But because of fearmongering, many of these people are turned away at the gates of countries that can support them and provide a safe future for their children.

Thank you, for having me here, congressional committee (members of Congress). I have seen that there is a problem regarding the Syrian refugee immigrants. Many people have been concerned about whether or not we should allow them access into the United States. Many have argued about the Syrian situation, but in my perspective the Syrian refugees should be allowed into the United states.

The vast amounts of people that are being forced from their homes is astonishing. These people flee their homes because of war, oppression and persecution. Europe seems to be closing their borders and do not want to take any more of these people in. There are many countries in Europe who could afford this. They do not want a change to their way of life. They are fearful of the effects the communities with face. It would bring a change to the identity and culture of the community. The European countries do not want the citizens to think they are bringing these people in to take their jobs, homes, or money. If they put money into The Syrian Migration and set up camps they might feel betrayed and it could mean a backlash from the country and the government. The European Nations might also not want to violate treaties or agreements they have with countries where the refugees are coming from.

The Syrian refugee crisis has received massive media coverage. People around the world are trying to comprehend the desperate, complicated situation surrounding Syria. The civil war in Syria is the worst crisis in our time. Syrians upset at the fact that long promised reforms have not been enacted, began anti-government demonstrations which started the civil war in 2011. The peaceful protests turned ugly, with the government violently putting an end to those protests. Afterward, ordinary citizens took arms, causing the situation to escalate. Syrians are fleeing their homes because of the great violence, which have left thousands dead and millions wounded, a collapsed infrastructure, resulting in a shattered economy, and for the safety of the children. Syrians are either streaming to surrounding countries or risking their lives to travel to Europe.

All throughout the world, there has been an on going debate on whether countries should take in and aid Syrian refugees. Over the past few years, the country of Syria has been in a civil war that is not only damaging and threatening its own country, but it has been bringing havoc and problems throughout the rest of the world. The civil war is causing millions of Syrians to flee their country, leaving them to seek shelter and aid from other countries throughout the world. Their search for help has caused an ongoing debate on whether countries should take in and aid the Syrian Refugees. Countries such as the United States, Germany, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and more have not only been offering help, but they have also allowed limited amounts of refugees into their countries. However, for some of the listed countries, their project for helping these refugees ended up back firing on them. Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel actually surprised Europe by allowing more than one million refugees into the country, while other European countries did not open their boarders at all (German Crisis Par. 1-2). The refugees were welcomed by Germans who, “gathered at train stations with hot food and flowers to welcome tens of thousands of refugees from the war-torn middle-east” (German Crisis Par. 1). However, “the mood in Germany has darkened. In many towns and cities, flowers and food have been replaced by unrest and hostility” (Germany Crisis Par. 4). The refugees that were welcomed with

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.

Germany has been providing support such as housing, food, and health and other necessary resources to improve the wellbeing of these Syrian immigrants. However, according to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in The Washington Times “I’m happy that Germany has become a country that many people abroad associate with hope” (The Washington Times, 2015). “For Frankfurt-based human rights organization Pro Asyl, the first vital step is housing. Company CEO Guenter Burkhardt said the country’s policy of forcing refugees to remain in mass accommodation sites for protracted periods only serves to provoke extremists” (The Washington Times, 2015). The big idea was that Germany was trying to tackle the obstacle that these Syrian refugees are facing presently. However, the German government would have to spend so much to accommodate these aliens. Another way to look at what the Germany government was trying to do was follow the golden rule principles which stated that treating others as you would want or liked to be treated. Thus, this is the greatest rule ever, but there are perspective to look at this issue. The big question was that, are these Syrian refugees who we think they are?
