Qualitative And Quantitative Methods Of A Humanitarian Crisis Essay

The methodology was described with the data collection method. Quantitative and qualitative questionnaire which consisted of closed questions with a choice of fixed answers and free text to enhance qualitative data were sent out in the form of mailshot, followed by telephone call to non-respondents and it was repeated for more wider sample results to gain more evidence to reduce bias (Parahoo, 2006).

This summer I had the opportunity to enroll in a practicum with the Calgary Police Service. One call in particular involved a domestic dispute over child custody, and the officer and I were the first to arrive on the scene. We approached the residence and herd shouting from the front door. At this point it is apparent the conflict between the parties has been ongoing for some time. The officer and I called for an additional patrol vehicle, and once they arrived we entered the residence. Upon entering the residence there was a male and two females, the one female and male are a couple, who will use the name Bob and Jane, and the other female was the mother of the child who will use the name

The “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) is a concept that has its roots in the philosophy of “Human Security”. Human Security can be defined as focusing on the individual human being as the referent object of security as distinct from the nation-state. R2P and Human Security have gathered impetus in the international community both in academic and policy spheres with a view to these concepts being justifiers for humanitarian intervention.

Humanitarian pre-med is a degree which broadly surveys human health, combining the biological and social sides of medicine. This is an opportunity to set myself aside from other medical school applicants who have majored in biology and chemistry. I’m interested in the process of healing and providing comprehensive care. I want to facilitate a doctor-patient relationship that address the whole patient.

An emergency is a severe, sudden and sometimes risky circumstances requiring urgent action (Salman Sawalha, 2014). Escalation of an emergency situation can lead to disaster; which is an unusual event that can cause lost of life and property (Salman Sawalha, 2014). International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRRCS) define disaster as “unexpected devastating events that disrupts the operations of a population or public which leads to huge losses and overwhelmed the affected community 's ability to respond to the situation with the resources they have at hand”. There are two main types of disaster that can lead to emergency situations; these include natural and man-made disasters.

Today the United States functions in a dangerously unstable world. Proliferation, politically unstable Nations, economic instability and numerous other international issues threaten our nation and its prosperity. Therefore, the United States should protect its own global interests by striving for order and security. The US can do this by maintaining relationships between allied nations, avoid involvement in other nation’s human rights so not to hinder economic growth, and prevent proliferation of dangerous weapons in unstable groups’ hands that can threaten national and international security and stability.

There are many humanitarian groups out there, but what exactly is a humanitarian group? Well it is a group of people that have an urge to help the community and the people in it. They do all sorts of things like help the poor and the less fortunate. They also run different programs like if you need counseling or help getting back on your feet after an addiction or disaster. But is that really all there is to a humanitarian group?

John a 42-year-old Caucasian male and is Gunnery Sargent in the United States Marine Corps. He has served for 18 years as a Motor Transport Maintenance Chief and has deployed five times. He and his family, Mary, Dean, and Sam sought treatment about one year ago after John’s company commander mandated he attend counseling following a period of excessive drinking, poor work performance, erratic behavior, and John having to be physically removed from on post housing by the Military Police following an altercation with his son Dean in the front yard.

“Your County Manager has just gone to a federally sponsored program on getting volunteers to support the management and administrative side of disaster and recovery portions of emergency management.

Just take a look at the humanitarian crisis in Europe with all the refugees coming in or the plight of the Rohingya people and that should help put into perspective all the rhetoric in the US about illegal immigrants. Refugees are flooding into Europe and hopefully the EU will pick up the pace in finding a dignified solution to the problem. It shouldn’t take horrific photos of drowned children to stir action and make nations deal with refugees in a compassionate manner. It is not acceptable to ignore these people or simply hope they go somewhere else.

The Middle East has long been a place for turmoil and warfare. In the past, the region was carved up by European powers following the First World War. More recently, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the ensuing power struggle and the United States’ operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused untold suffering for civilians. In Iraq and Afghanistan in particular, there are many regions where civilians suffer terrible conditions, and there is much human suffering.

In March 2004, the world was taken aback when Mukesh Kapila, a United Nations (UN) Human Rights Coordinator for Sudan, announced during an interview with the UN that the “world’s greatest humanitarian crisis” was occurring in Darfur. Until then, the world had been concerned by the raging civil war in South Sudan and the peace talks associated with it. Darfur was a nowhere, unknown and uncared about for centuries. Suddenly newspapers were wild with reports of the 21st Century’s first genocide, and support was being drummed up from all corners of the world. But then the Asian tsunami on 26 December 2004 occurred and what is known as “world opinion” moved on to bigger disasters. Yet the crisis in Darfur continued; however, now organizations such as the UN, European Union (EU), and African Union (AU) began to take interest, develop aid packages, and planned for intervention. Yet still, in 2016, the crisis continues. Several

The key objections to humanitarian intervention include the conflict of interests with the self-interested state and sovereignty, the difficulty of internal legitimacy, the problematical Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, and the debate over legality of intervention. The issue of morality stands as an overarching issue which touches on all of these. Overall, one finds that despite a moral imperative to intervene, humanitarian intervention should not occur but is perhaps the lesser of a series of evils.

Conflict, this term has a broad definition that is defined as “latent tensions and disagreements on the one end and goes to armed and violent clashes (e.g. wars) on the other” (Eroglu Utku, Sirkeci, and Yazgan 2015). This is the root cause of many of the violent wars and crises that have occurred over thousands of years. In more recent times critical conflicts that have occurred throughout the world have had adverse effects globally. It was estimated, by the United Nations, that at the end of 2013 over 51 million people globally, more than half of which included women and children, were displaced due to persecution, warfare, and violence (Salopek 2015). The Syrian civil war has been a large contributor for this large number of displaced people; it has affected countries throughout the world due to the millions of people that have had to find permanent settlement elsewhere as a result of the war between the Syrian government, rebel forces, and ISIS. This has been given the name of the Syrian refugee crisis. Refugees have since been displaced throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America and have become a global issue that has had difficult solutions. Refugees that have uprooted their lives due to the violence and war brought about from the Syrian civil war still face difficulty being accepted in countries around the world and face larger obstacles when starting life over.

Data Collection is a vital aspect of any type of research study. Erroneous data collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. Data collection methods for impact evaluation vary along a scale. At the one end of this scale are quantitative methods and at the other end of the scale are Qualitative methods for data collection. Choosing a particular data collection method will depend on the accuracy of information they will yield and the practical considerations, such as, the need for personnel, time, equipment and other facilities, in relation to what is available
