What is a refugee and why are they being forced to flee their home countries? When war, discrimination, persecution, poverty, natural disaster or an environmental crisis wrecks havoc on your home you have no other choice but to try and seek refuge and safety in other countries. This is the reality for many. A refugee is a person who has been forced to pursue refuge and protection in another country. Refugees come from all over the world, from many different walks of life. Currently a large percentage of refugees come from Syria, as a result of the Syrian war. Unfortunately, countries that can provide security only take in a limited number of refugees. As a result there are still many homeless refugees who have no choice but to wait to be placed
Somebody that is forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster is a refugee. There are over 2.3 million Syrian refugees and of those, 45 of them made their home in the united states. In years to come the U.S. will be bringing in more refugees. Most of these refugees do not have any bad intentions when coming to the U.S., but are just looking for a home so they can start to rebuild their life. In order to be brought in, refugees must first go through a security screening.

Topics for a final paper: I know other students are thinking the same thing, what am I going to write about to cover that many pages? Where am I going to find the information to support the subject? Will people be interested in the subject? The last question is what I am asking you, my fellow students.
Homeless in America is the most shameful problem that we try to ignore.Such as Arnold Abbot, a 90 year old man who went around making good for the homeless; and the couple Brenda Knokrl and her boyfriend Robert Bloch letting homeless people sleep on their porch. Getting fined for their effort to help. Homelessness continues to be a major issue in our country because we as people look down upon them and do not treat them as equals, we assume that they are in situations based on the addiction and dependency of drugs and alcohol. Not all homeless people are drug addicts or alcoholics, most of these homeless people are young adults with children and most people don't understand that homelessness goes
1) I have been in various amounts of situations where I have experienced a culture shock, but the one that was most influencing my life was when I went to a homeless mission here in Las Vegas for the very first time to volunteer. I have always had a presumption on how the homeless lived and what they were like, but I could never have imagined what I experienced that day.
In 2005, NCH (National Coalition for the Homeless) estimated 3.5 million people experience homelessness in the US every year (NCH,1). But what is homelessness? Jim Baumohl, a noted author, explained in Homelessness in America, the most common definition of homelessness used by researchers is the “absence of belonging to a specific place or to people” (NCH, 3). However, there is no set definition, due to the variety of living conditions a homeless person encounters, and the opinions of the researchers. As Baumohl pointed out, “homelessness is but the latest of many research topics in which the population of interest is not clearly defined” (NCH, 15).
Gender inequality, police brutality and transgender rights are just a few societal issues impacting the way our society functions today. However, the social issue I have chosen is homelessness, specifically the causes and effects of homelessness in America because of recent observations. Since moving to Akron, I have noticed that the amount of homeless individuals seems more present in urban areas. Considering this new observation, I began to wonder how people become homeless and how this affects not only Akron, but our society in general. Although the rates of homelessness are moderately decreasing, homelessness is a public issue because it influences our economy and public health. The stigma around mental illness plays a huge part in the rates of homelessness. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, about a quarter of the homeless population
I also think the homeless population is a vulnerable population that required a lot of help. When it comes to the homeless population, it does not mean one individual, but it can be a group of families or children. Being homeless you can be young or old. The homeless population are already have limit resources to them such as notify information, transportation, and medical needs. In an event of a disaster, it is important to find a solution to help the homelessness people to be at a safe shelter. One of the most important aspect and challenge when it comes to helping the homeless population is communication. Since they do not have access to technology to provide them information about a disaster, there must be a way to spread the words
Women being homelessness is a problem that persist in my community. I just move to Washington DC, and every time that I work on my way back home, I saw many women sitting on the bench with many bags around them. I cannot imagine myself going through that situation, and it bothers me a lot, especially now with this cold weather. Those women not only have to run store after store in order to use the bathroom, and shelter after shelter in order to get some clothes and somethings to eat, but also they have to stay in the cold and being expose to illness. Those women have not only difficulty to take their bath during the day, but also they are depressed, unhappy and have lost the pleasure of life. In addition, these women have difficulty to find
A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, or persecution. Recently there are many debates going on, whether the United States should allow Syrian refugees to come into America or not. At the same time, there is a civil war in Syria between the government led by Bashar al-Assad and the rebels. As a result, there are thousands of Syrian refugees, without homes because of the civil war, attempting to flee the country and avoid both the conflict and ISIS. There are many States in America that don’t want to allow Syrian refugees to come into the America, because according to them they think that Syrian refugees can cause a potential security threat to them or maybe members of ISIS can enter into the
As I walk down the streets of my city on a warm summer morning, I see a variety of people. Every step I take I see a different person and with each person comes a different story. During my walk, I see a group of kids younger than me smoking on the corner. I couple minutes later I see a mother and her child sitting on a bench in the park. Both the mother and child have bruises on them. Finally, just before reaching my destination, I see a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk and he is asking others for money so that he can buy some food. I walk into my house and sit down on my sofa and as I am sitting there, all I can think of were the different people I saw on my walk. What are their stories? Why are those kids smoking? Why are that woman and child covered in bruises? What happened in that poor man's life? How did he hit rock bottom?
Imagine having nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, being cold, tired, hungry, without hope, followed by being harassed by police for loitering, panhandling, or just being “in the way.” This is the case for the majority of people who are homeless. Many have seen it, people walk past them, trying to not make eye contact, telling themselves that they’re just going to spend the money for alcohol or drugs. Making assumptions about these people, and what brought them to their life of homelessness does not bring a solution to the problem, it just adds to the preexisting stigma already attached to this population. As a society, the general American public has done the homeless population a disservice, starting with the deinstitutionalization
The issue of homelessness is not one that is easily defined or characterized. In fact, many organizations and legislative actions spend a significant portion of their time and resources in attempting to define homelessness. For, only once the issue is defined can it be effectively addressed. There are also, perhaps, different types of homelessness whose resolution may need to be addressed with differing methods from one another.
Let’s start by defining what it is to be a refugee. A refugee is any citizen of a nation who is forced to flee due to persecution or unsafe living conditions.
According to UNHCR, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries. When people flee their own country, and seek sanctuary in another country, they apply for asylum – the right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance. An asylum seeker must demonstrate that his or her fear of persecution in his or her home country is
