Reflection Paper On Refugees

My goal that hour was to find a book I could read for pleasure and actually like. Disclaimer: I usually don't find books I like. As a reader, I’m very interested in anything that involves the world and culture in some way. As I was looking I remembered we saw a trailer for a book, Refugee, and it was quite intriguing. So, I found it, and picked up the book and brought it to the register, because it was sold out they had to order me a new one. The book itself isn't very long, but it took me a while to read. I’m a very slow reader and sometimes have to re-read pages because I forget. Anyway, once I started reading I loved it. It made me interested in learning about different struggles countries were and are facing, but another reason is that I could relate to this book a lot. My parents are from Syria, and my family that didn't move to Lebanon or America are currently still living in Syria. Although nothing has happened to them (thank God), I still am worried about them and their safety. So, reading this book really touched my heart in a way where I can relate somehow. But, I hope I will never have to experience what refugees have and even caring for them, I don't know half of what they went

This is a speech from an asylum seeker, who is glad to be in this

In 1951 we stood tall and proud with our green and gold colours as we signed the non refoulement and become a part of the refugee convention. We vowed to ensure the protection and basic human rights of asylum seekers and refugees are meant. This momentous day came as a glimpse of hope to

More than 3,500 refugees drowned on their way to Europe to live better lives. Why are they going to Europe, and why are they risking their lives to do so? Refugees are people who get forced out of their homes. To live a normal life they must leave their old lives behind just to get better ones, but we help the most we can.

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.

The U.S. should accept refugees who have background checks because they’re trying to flee from extreme violence, we don’t want history to repeat itself, and they want to start over, they’re not committing terror attacks.

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.

Should america let refugees in the us. I think that refugees should not be allowed in the usa and they should be kicked out of the us because nearly 44% of america are non english speakers that used to be18% so non english speakers are slowly over powering us americans and they will soon kick us out of our country we should kick them out and keep them out for america's sake.

Being a part of OXFAM’s refugee simulation in April was thought provoking for me because being a refugee for many people in different parts of the world is an actual reality. In places such as Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and others, millions of people are forced to flee from their homes with many obstacles on the way, such as leaving family behind and not having sufficient resources like food and clothes. At the start of the simulation, I was informed that I was a refugee and I was paired up with other students who would be my family members. Throughout the process, we were given a list of supplies and had to choose a few that we wanted to receive. We would slowly get our supplies taken away from

What is one story of a young migrant or refugee that you heard?Are there any ways the story opened your eyes?

For the podcast, I interviewed Lina Abdulnoor, with the intention of exploring the intricacies of refugeehood by analyzing Lina’s refugee experience. Lina lived in Iraq with her family until they began receiving death threats due to their religious beliefs. Convinced that they needed to flee the country to survive, they left Iraq as refugees. After leaving Iraq, they settled in Jordan, where they waited two years until the U.N. to approve their request to move to the U.S. in 2012. Lina and her family initially settled in Virginia, where she experienced culture shock as she adapted to American culture and the English language. However, Lina did not feel accepted in Virginia; her experiences in the state led her to think that Americans treated her according to negative stereotypes of Iraqis. After living in Virginia for several months, Lina and her family chose to resettle in San Diego, California, which harbored a larger Iraqi population than Virginia did. Supported by San Diego’s Iraqi community and various refugee organizations, Lina flourished, and she currently studies at UCSD while holding a stable job.

Overlooking the clouds from the airplane window, the sense of excitement overwhelmed me. My family and I were going to a refugee camp in Lebanon to meet my extended family. During that 3-month trip, war broke out, and consequently, I experienced a personal paradigm shift which broadened my world perspective for the rest of my life. If it were not for that experience, I probably would not have had the profound sense of appreciation of the relative safety, justice, and opportunity offered in Canada. I had returned determined to learn, and hopefully, with the help of a legal education, contribute to the progression of the values which have allowed me to reach this point. These values have led me to honor the role of the law in creating justice and order by facilitating stability and change.

As a refugee well versed in multiple languages, I became an effective counselor to thousands of other fellow refugees. The mission to serve others has been continuing until today. Immigration statutes, rules and regulations are not the black letter law, but it is the very imminent part of American Immigrants’ lives, and I am a very truthful part of it. I have helped immigrants from filling out their applications to providing services to legal counsels and the courts as a licensed court interpreter (simultaneous/consecutive

Thousands of South Sudanese refugees that were displaced by war have been living in the Kenyan, Kakuma refugee camp since early 1990s. I was there since August 1992. But after I finished my high school in November 11, 2003, a South Sudanese friend who came earlier to Australia in the same year sent me a humanitarian application form. I filled that application and within a month I received the fill number. But, I had to wait for almost a year to be scheduled for an interview. Hence, in late 2004, my name was listed on the notification boards in kakuma refugee camp. That notice board was to be near to what we used to called zone three market/shopping centre or equivalent to the malls here in Australia.

As I looked over to snowy meadow I wondered if we would ever convince Strong horn we can't leave this place, as I stood up to walk over to the nearby flowing stream. This was the only body of water our flock had access to, as I watched the crystal clear water flow down the diagonal slope I saw my reflection in this water there I was a young Ram still being a trained killing machine to keep our flock together Bruce Defender of the Strong horn flock I thought to myself. There were also two other flocks the Bighorns and the Broken horns these clans were divided up by our family name.
