Restrictions In The Bible

The side that doesn’t want them in at all is worried about Isis and maybe not all refugees are telling the truth. I can see that but it would be unfair to not let the good people in, who are suffering in Syria and countries of terrible war. The days have changed and something should be done about it, but to go against people that are only seeking for help and a better place, isn’t the moral thing to

Much like many white people in the South believed black protestors had no right to infiltrate their cities in the 1960s, a large number of Americans are against the idea of letting refugees or anyone that follows a strongly stereotyped religion into their country. However, like King says, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (78). Over the course of history, the United States have established themselves as a major power with the intentions of helping others. Whether the tactics for this have actually been successful in the past is a different discussion, but if the motives are pure, then this country has a moral and ethical obligation to help those in need. In this case, that would mean allowing these refugees into the country and not continuing to stigmatize an entire group of people any further. This country turned away refugees during World War II, and a portion of them were killed in the Holocaust. The exact same thing could potentially happen if these refugees and muslims are banned from traveling into the United States.

Regarding Erwin Chemerinsky’s article from January 29, 2017, “Op-Ed Trump's cruel, illegal refugee executive order,” I am happy to see this issue raised publicly. I believe Trump’s banned order is unacceptable because it is discriminate, unconstitutional, and inhumane. Firstly, it is discriminate because no one should be banned from entering the Unit States of America base on the nationality. This means any banned nationals with immigrants are not allowed and discriminated with voided visa. Secondly, it is unconstitutional because this order is breaking the first amendment which allows an individual’s region should not favor over another. In the article, Trump also told Christian news that will give Christians a greater help. Thirdly, it is

An event that happened in America in the decade of the 1920s there was a large creative movement that affected or encouraged change in the United States history. According to the online Openstax textbook called U.S. History published by P. Scott Corbett, Volker Janssen, John M. Lund, Todd Pfannenstiel and Paul Vickery states “This mixture of social, political, economic, and cultural change and conflict gave the decade the nickname the “Roaring Twenties” or the “Jazz Age”.” A widespread of economic prosperity, social change and a form of expression made a way for society to begin to walk down the path of the modern age. Especially for women, African Americans, and the youth generation. Thereby, redefining the nation for the youth to forget about the post-world war one era and embrace the new morality, for African American to showcase their intellectual contributions and link their struggle to the world, for women to expand their human rights and be liberated from society standards, and for American to begin their new lives because of invention in medicine and technology. So, how did the Roaring Twenties and or the Jazz Age affect the decade of the 1920s in the United States history?

In The New York Times’ article called “Trump’s Immigration Ban Is Illegal” published on January 27th, 2017, David J. Bier expresses his personal opinion about the execute order signed by Trump that supports to bar all permanent immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries. According to Bier, the order is illegal, since Congress outlawed all discrimination against immigrants and American citizens based on nationality, race, sex, place of birth, or place of residence by means of The Immigration and National Act of 1965. However, Bier explains that the 1965 law does not ban discrimination based on religion, which was Mr. Trump’s original proposal. The author uses examples to prove that presidents have used their powers many times to forbid

President Trump recently signed an executive order that restricts entry from seven Muslim majority countries into the United States. Trump’s immigration policy bans the entry of refugees into the United States for 120 days and heightens additional screening to make sure that they do not pose a threat to the security of the U.S. The order also indefinitely restricts the entrance of Syrian refugees and restricts travelers that come from seven predominantly Muslim countries including Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen entry into the United States for 90 days (Shear, Michael). This order would affect over 20,000 refugees, thousands of students nationwide, and hundreds

There are no social injustices that go without affecting the public, and Executive Order 13769 has impacted many people not only in our nation, but also in the periphery, in many different countries around the world. The victims of this social injustice are primarily those from the seven countries, especially Muslims, but anyone who has put their faith in American idealism will experience the fallout from this destruction of our constitutional values. When it comes to accepting refugees now, the White House is essentially prioritizing Christians over Muslims from the Middle East. In fact, in an interview with the Christian broadcasting network a few days after the immigration ban was instated, Donald Trump claimed he would favor Christian refugees as an exception to the executive order (Yulas). People with dual citizenship are being affected now as well by not being able to travel freely outside the country without worry they may not be allowed to return. A specific victim of this injustice, Thon Maker, a rookie on the Milwaukee Bucks, is a native of Sudan, one of the seven countries that Trump has banned for travel (Reports). The National Basketball Association is now concerned with Maker’s ability to travel with his team to Toronto for future games (Reports). The immigration limitation not only affects people living in the seven countries, but also those who care about upholding our values and human rights

The United States is a country based on a certain set of values, and one of those values is the freedom of religion. On Friday, January 27, 2017 President Donald Trump signed an executive order that “banned nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for at least the next 90 days.” (CNN, 1) These seven Muslim-majority counties include Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. The executive order indefinitely suspends Syrian refugees, even the ones who were granted legal visas. It also suspends the relocation of all refugees for the next 120 days. This executive order bans millions

Household codes are a list of responsibilities for each member of the household. They first appeared in the Colossians chapters 3:18 to 4:1. It is believed that early Christian writers used works from Aristotle and Stoic sources as influences in their writings. In Aristotle’s work, Politics, he discusses the idea that males should be lead over females in order to keep a properly functioning home and a properly working state. In Stoic sources listing household codes, the subordinate member is listed before the dominate member of the household and a command is listed before the reason for obedience. The household codes recorded in Ephesians have been misused, in some edits of the Bible Ephesians 5:21, “Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.” has not been printed. Therefore, the message is taken and changed into something that was not intended. Another reason for abuse of the household codes is the fact that in some versions of the Bible, “be subject” is not written in chapter 5:22. The Greek translation for “head” can mean “origin” rather than always meaning “leader” or referring to

Many people are being displaced due to fear of religious, racial, or political persecution, and this is demonstrated through a story about a Sudanese refugee. Nyawet Tut had to flee because, “...soldiers set fire to her village and she had to run for her life with her own five children and five others of relatives killed in the conflict” (Edwards, 2017, para. 8). Many refugees like Tut had to leave their homes and everything behind so they wouldn’t be persecuted for their beliefs. These people represent to mockingbird metaphor because even innocent children are being oppressed because of war. Decades after the novel took place, this metaphor still connects to today’s society and persecution of the innocent. The restriction of refugees entering the US mirrors the killing of a mockingbird. An executive order from US President Donald Trump says, “Deteriorating conditions in certain countries due to war, strife, disaster, and civil unrest increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the United States” (Trump, 2017 para. 4). This executive order gives some insight into the conditions that refugees are facing. Millions of people are being forced to leave their country due to political, racial, religious persecution as well as the fear of war. This order is saying that due to the possibility of terrorism entering the US through refugees, it is safer to not let them seek sanctuary or asylum in here. While may help

The order, titled the ‘Presidential Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty,’ requires the Secretary of the Treasury to “not take any adverse action” against those who speak out about “moral or political issues from a religious perspective.” It also requires the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor to “consider issuing amended regulations, consistent with applicable law, to address conscience-based objections” to the Obamacare mandate requiring companies to provide coverage for birth control.

And the United States themselves should be able to accept as much refugees as they can due to the fact that there are some Americans that would do anything to help refugees out. For example, I read a document from the Boston Globe, titled “An Outpouring of Support for Refugees” and basically talked about how Cheryl Hamilton from Lowell asked many people to help her out to support refugees arriving from Congo, Syria, Myanmar, and Iraq. Cheryl and others basically gathered a collection of kitchen supplies, winter coats, blankets, and much more, just to give them to the refugees that have arrived to a totally different place than what they were used to. And it also said: “Volunteers walked into the office and said, “I can’t stand watching the news anymore. How can I help?”” This shows that there are some Americans that have no problem with letting in refugees, and are willing to do anything for them, because it help seeing what type of conditions they were living in, as well as what is going on in their home countries. For example, there’s a photograph from Time which shows a young boy covered in blood, and says: “Footage shared online by the Aleppo Media Center is said to show a boy who was pulled from an airstrike on Aug. 17 in the Syrian city of Aleppo.” which I remember

But with the current scenario, people are being separated from their loved ones because they are born in a specific country! Banning young children and aging grandmothers from the six countries obviously isn’t the right move. Everyone knows that America always had strained relations with Muslim bearing countries and the ban deteriorates it even further. Notably, 97 tech companies suggest that this ban is bad for business (Reilly) Jared A Goldstein states that every president has deemed that anyone of any race, religion can become an American citizen as long as he/she upholds the Constitution (Goldstein) Based on the opposition received by the ban since day one, it is imperative that the people oppose it as much as they can.

Imperialism has two sides, one side is where it actually helps people and other countries the other is where it can harm the people that live in the country that needs or may not need help. Imperialism is a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Easier said, a large nation or country takes over a small country to either help them or to get their recourses and land. It has also changed many people’s lives in the past. For example if one of the smaller countries are going down hill imperialism can take over and solve all of the problems that it has.

In 1944, former president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order forming the War Refugee Board. As briefly explained by ushmm.org, “the Board is responsible for devising and carrying out programs for the rescue and relief of victims of Nazi persecution.” During World War II, the United States help settle refugees who couldn’t be in their own country because of the war. This was a great thing to do and shaped the future we live in today. Letting Jewish refugees into the United States “was a turning point in American immigration policy and established a precedent for later refugee crises,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.What is happening today with refugees is no different than what happened in the past. The Washington Post uploaded an article January of this year stating “If the order is enacted, among those immediately affected would be potential immigrants and visitors from seven
