Research Paper On Syrian Refugees

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).

Everyday, people all over the world are removed from their homes and forced to leave. You could be pushed out of your house from a foreclosure, or pushed out of your country from an extremist. In society today, thousands upon thousands of people are fleeing to a new country they can call “home” and where they can feel safe. Among these people, a big majority are the Syrian people. The Syrian Refugee Crisis has been relevant for about four years since the start of the Syrian civil war that began in March 2011, and is comparable to the Native Americans being pushed from their home lands. The Syrian Refugee Crisis equates to the Trail of Tears because both Syrians and refugees alike were pushed out of their homes, they were both forced to find

This sociological analysis will define the theory of social conflict to define the underlying racial, social, and cultural tension of the current Syrian refugee crisis in Canada. The current Syrian immigrant crisis in Canada defines some of the major problems of established racial “norms”, European “values”, and “resources”, such as job opportunities, that inhibit the integration of these people into Canadian society. Angus Reid’s (2016)) provides a current context in which the traditional view of ethnic and racial tolerance in Canada is challenged by a polls done on the subject. These three sociological concepts define the social conflict that is occurring in Canada due to the arrival of Syrian refugees. This CBC news story defines the underlying

Tears have filled my eyes as I am writing this paper. Words cannot express how disable I feel toward these innocent refugees. I have visited Syria once. I have seen how beautiful it is. I have met its people. I have never seen more generous people than Syrians. Also, I am a refugee myself and I know exactly what it feel like to be one. As a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon, I have lived a miserable life without any human rights. Only when I have moved to the United States the condition has changed. As a human being, I am respected here. I am valued and treated equally to others. I never want anybody to be in the same shoes I have been in. They do not deserve what is happening to them. All they are asking for is freedom and they have the full right to have it. All they are protesting for is a life free of Mukhabarat and people spying for

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.

Syrian refugees today and German-Jewish refugees during the 1930's share many difficulties. Both the articles, "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees," and "Jews' Tale Plays Out Again as Syrian Refugees Find Resistance to US Entry" both prove that the Jews and Syrians issues are very similar. The US denied the German-Jewish refugees entrance, and now we are doing the same again with almost all of the Syrian refugees. The Jews from Germany in the 1930's during the Holocaust and the refugees from Syria today both face many hardships such as plight, prejudice, and discrimination, not to mention that they were, and are, criticized harshly.

The ERLC website notes that the Syrian refugee crisis is the worst since World War II, with more than 13.5 million people affected. Over four million have migrated to other countries as refugees, where they live in dingy and unhygienic living conditions. Millions of children have left their education, which makes them vulnerable to early marriage and child labor, and might have long-time repercussions on their lives as well.

If you were forced to leave your home and flee to another country because of terrorism, would you not want the people of that country to welcome you with open arms? Today, thousands of refugees in the Middle East are escaping the terrorism in their homelands to go to a free country such as the United States. These immigrants are avoiding terrorism because of what they have seen happen to others who were affected by the terrorists. An immigrant is someone who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence and a terrorist is a person or a member of a group that uses or advocates terrorism. With the rise of Middle Eastern immigrants escaping terrorism, the people of the United States need to support the refugees in adjusting to

Millions of lives threatened. Millions of lives in danger. Millions of lives at risk. The United States is in the process of turning away those refugees who want to change their lives for the better. I believe America has the power to help those who are struggling by allowing them in and helping them start their lives all over from scratch. America should change their immigration laws in order to allow them in.

Did you know that 1 out of 100 people worldwide have been pushed out of their own home because of war. That is a lot of people who are forced out of their own home. No one should be pushed out of their own home they either bought or built on their own time. They put all that hard work into something that was supposed to protect them and shelter them. Now since they were pushed out they can’t even have it anymore. They are struggling and we need to help them fight to stay alive and help them to make sure they are the ones controlling their lives and not someone else. Sure if we allowed them in it might cause some problems like maybe having a terrorist attack or maybe bring some disease. Some of those problems most likely won’t happen but there always might be a chance but they need us right now and we should be their to help them. Sure some of them might be dangerous or pose a threat to us but not all people are bad. They might bring some dangerous like a disease but not everyone is ill and not all of them will have the disease are want to hurt. Most likely they will be nice and accepting.. The United States should accept refugees because they are struggling to stay alive , they need our help and they are waking up to war everyday.

See, the Syrian refugee is not contrastive to the Irish nor the Scott refugee, both are fleeing from the same bullets. The Syrian refugee is just another species of fruit loving sparrow. In America, they seek to rebuild their nest upon a secure tree and feast upon the same berries as the other birds. The refugee has not changed but rather the American. The only difference from hitherto is that the American’s government is now supplying the gunman with the ammunition. The enemy has at no time been the refugee, but rather who made them the refugee.

In 1886 the French gave America the Statue of Liberty, Lady Liberty’s light and ever since then been a welcoming sight for people fleeing their oppressive countries, but with the growing influx of immigrants into America, the process for acceptance into the country has become stricter and the American people have become anxious about allowing more people in due to the fear of terrorism. The country of Syria has been locked in a Civil War since 2011, threatening the lives of the almost 22 million people that lived there. Since the war began Syrians have fled by the millions out of the country, reducing the population to 18 million residents. The majority of these refugees have sought

Australia has let Syrian refugees into their country and would allow only 12,000 refugees. Australia has immigrated around 13,750 Syrian refugees into our country and have provided help to them. As Syrian refugees have moved into the Australian country, some feel welcome and see a bright future. 5% of Syrian refugees feel unwelcome in Australia, 28% feel welcomed most of the time and 52% feel welcome in Australia. As far as safety goes, 74% of refugees felt safe in Australia, and 56% say their children are living happily in the country. Syrians who moved to Australia feel better to have settled here than staying in Syria. Some Syrians have dealt with discrimination but most of the Syrian population are treated fairly.

The American way of helping those in need has been lost in the midst of terrorist attacks in a foreign country. The denying of Syrian refugees from coming into the United States has marked the decline of our hospitable ways. We are so fearful of a terrorist attack that the majority of Americans have went against the American way of helping by denying Syrian refugees access to the United States in their time of great need.

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
