Refugee Crisis : The Middle East, And South Asia

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

On September of 2015, the image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi went viral. “The toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach had reverberated across the globe” (Parkinson & George-Cosh, 2015). Aylan’s family had “fled the brutal civil war in their native Syria and only attempted the boat crossing after Canada denied their application of admission as refugees. The image led to an astonishing outpouring of support for Syrian refugees” (Hein & Niazi, 2016).

In the final draft I will expand on each of the issues, by looking into more specific examples of both what different European countries are doing policy wise, as well as what the sentiment is among the refugees in the different areas of Europe. To fully be able to understand the conditions the refugees are facing I will be using other scholars ethnography work; One of those works being Katerina Rozakou’s piece regarding the management of refugees in Greece. As a result of that knowledge I will be able to come to an accurate conclusion as to what course of action should be taken in Europe as a whole, to deal with this ongoing

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.

Ha and other refugees Struggle, Face, Worry and Challenges. The challenge they both have in common is that they had to face challenges along they way. Their challenges were hard to face because, Ha go bullied and didn’t like the food, doesn’t want to being a different religion and trying to know her land. In “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” they had to face the same challenges, but not all that are the same. The “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” tells who were the people that were refugees, and where the refugees are going also why they decided to flee their home. “Today our cowboy brings a paper bucket of chicken, skin crispy and golden, smelling of perfection.” (Lai 119). Connecting to the new life in Alabama and how hard it is for Ha and her family

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

A current issue on the minds and agendas of the international community is the Syrian Refugee Crisis. The situation has only escalated since its start in 2011, and as the number of displaced Syrians reaches over 9 million, countries around the world, not just the ones in the Middle East, are increasing efforts to offer asylum and aid for these people. The Syrian Refugee Crisis began with peaceful anti-government protests in March of 2011, but after the violent response of the government, rebels, army defectors, and many civilians formed the Free Syrian Army by July of the same year (Mercy Corps, Sept 2nd, 2015). The presence of ISIS within Syria and the differing views of religious groups (namely Sunni and Shiite) in the country only add to the chaos of destruction of the country and the Syrian people’s lives and homes. With the constant state of war within the country, basic necessities like food, water, and shelter have become scarce and Syrian people are looking to find new homes of stability and safety. The large majority of Syrians have fled to the neighboring countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. However the burden of harboring these refugees has put huge stress on the countries as the sheer number of people entering the country becomes too much to handle. Today one in five people living in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee (Mercy Corps, Sept 2nd, 2015). With the neighboring countries already beyond capacity, Syrians are looking for shelter in places outside this

Refugee’s lives turn “inside out” by separation, no choices, and traveling. Lives are turned inside out by no choice in what they want. In the article, “Refugees: Who, Where, Why?” it says, “Since early times large groups of people have been forced to flee their homelands.” Overall this tells me even if they wanted to stay with all of the chaos going on they couldn’t. Separation also turns lives inside out. I know this because in the poem “Watch over us page 50,” it says,” father watches over us even if he’s not here…Uncle son tells us to be ready any day.” This explains that with father not being there, hopes can be down and they can struggle more. Traveling for Ha also turns them inside out. In the poem, “Last Respects.” Page 85 it says,”

Accepting refugees in Europe has become a highly controversial problem in the past few months. Without a doubt, a large number of lives could be saved due to this ethical action; however, there has been a significant rise in protesting refugees. We should consider carefully the advantages and disadvantages of such a substantial

Since spring of 2015, more than one million people have immigrated into Europe causing an immigration crisis.The conflicts in Syria Afghanistan, and Iraq, being the main reason immigrants are fleeing into the European countries. The majority of the immigrants have been arriving in Germany, Greece, Italy and Hungary because they are easily accessible. This influx of immigration into Europe has caused overpopulation.Tensions in the European Union have been rising because of this, in September, the ministers of the European Union voted to relocate 160,000 immigrants that had come into Italy and Greece More than 386,000 immigrants came into Hungary last year, Hungary reacted by closing its border to all. Hungary also relocated 54,000 immigrants to deal with the influx of people. Each country has dealt with the immigration crisis in their own way, as people continue to cross the borders into European countries the lawmakers there pass laws limiting their access. (Ehrenfreund,n,pg.) (BBC News,n,

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.

I think that the refugee crisis is very complicated. There are several factors that go into the idea of the US admitting more refugees. With the current terrorist threats, the bombing in Paris, the Minnesota mall attack, and the recent bombing in NYC (not yet confirmed if it is related to ISIS) the idea of letting more people into the US is hard to agree to. In addition, the US is struggling with the idea of immigration from Mexico, even though it has decreased.

Refugees from all over the world has been running for their lives going to refugee to refugee camps trying to find a better life, so they can be exported to the U.S. to find a better life. How many refugees are there? About 65.3 million people have been displayed in refugee homes, because something terrible has happened to their homes. As an example, Ha from the novel Inside out and back again by Thanhha Lai, is a 10 year old girl who lives in Saigon,Vietnam who has to flee her home because of terrorist has taken over her country. All refugees lives turn inside out when they all leave from their homes to become a refugee, but then it turns back again because all refugees gets useful in their life in the U.S. .

Flocks of Middle Eastern immigrants flood the shores of Europe in an attempt to escape the horrible conditions they find themselves facing in their homelands and this has lead many countries to face some tough decisions concerning how to handle this influx of refugees.While many countries are increasing the amount of refugees permitted to take shelter in their country, others are blocking these immigrants from being able to enter. In response to this massive movement of Middle Eastern residents, the United States government is trying to find measures to assist other countries in this troubling time. The most likely ways to help refugees is through monetary donations and an increased refugee quota. Even though refugees must pass extensive background

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.
