Summary Of The Syrian Refugee Crisis

The Refugee crisis across Europe and beyond is among the most complex topics in the world right now. Most of the refugees are coming from Syria, but why? Why can’t they just stay at home? Within the last 5 years there has been a mass exodus of civilians in Syria; other countries have experienced very similar scenarios with civilians leaving. With so many are leaving, it is quite difficult for refugees to find safe places to stay. About 6 years ago Syria was among the most stable countries in the Middle East (though ruled by what can be described as a dictator). However, civil war and economic problems have severely affected them. Their President Bashar Al-Assad has made many extremely controversial decisions. Two causes of the Syrian

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

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.

Developments in Society can be seen in many different ways depending on an individual’s worldview or perspective. This idea is evident through the Syrian Refugee Crisis and how it affects Canada. This crisis in Canada is changing every day, as the government creates decisions on how they will or will not aid the refugees. Canadians are saying that they may approve of this refugee resettlement plan laid out by the federal government, but only if it’s taken so far and so fast. The reporters of a Vancouver News Network, a Toronto Tabloid, and an America Daily Newspaper compare and contrast the ideas of a survey from the Angus Reid Institute, a non-profit organization that conducts surveys to analyze different trends in the economy. This survey

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.

As President Barack Obama said, “Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America” (Darcy). The Syrian refugee crisis is a huge subject of discussion during this presidential race and the results of this election, whether Republican or Democratic, will be the difference between helping or hurting this migration. The Syrian refugee crisis has been a worldwide problem since the civil war started in 2011. The death toll quickly rose as the violence got out of hand. The next president is going to ultimately decide the fate of tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, innocent men, women and children. Currently our president is going to allow up to 10,000 Syrian refugees to find safe haven in the US. Every single presidential candidate has their own stance on the issue, Republicans lean towards restriction of the refugee policy, while Democrats lean towards loosening it.

The Syrian refugee crisis is a complex issue that places a large amount of pressure on the United States government. Syrian refugees are trying to flee from their unprotected home country, Syria, and find a safer place to live like in the U.S. The U.S. has the challenging decision to make which is if they should let the refugees in or not. This problem has arisen from tensions in the war occurring in the Middle East (Sengupta). The U.S. was created for freedom and accepting them them shows the compassion of the United States. Communities in Michigan and California largely speak Arabic and have family in Syria (Sengupta). The Syrian refugee crisis does pose great threats to America jeopardizing the safety of Americans. Automatically most Americans come to this dreadful conclusion, but safe decisions can be made that can benefit everyone. The U.S. should not deny letting Syrian refugees in.

The writer of this article and also the Governor General of Canada, Mr. David Johnston, supports this movement in full, saying that this is a “chance to revisit and renew [Canada’s] commitment to being a smart, caring and inclusive society, not just for Syrian refugees, but for all Canadians, including the most vulnerable and marginalized among [them]”. For the perspective of Canadian officials, welcoming refugees from this crisis is not only a smart thing to do, but also the right thing to do. Bringing in Syrian children, women and men that have been faced with war so what seems like a lifetime will reinforce the idea that Canada is a place that has a history comprised of “stories of diverse people helping each other through hard

The professional middle class refugees from Syria are the ones who will be contributing to our country, by providing resources that can up boost Canada’s economy. For example, the government phrased that Atlantic Canada is in need for some Syrian refugees to be apart of their business so that they can help with the population growth in Nova Scotia. This is targeted towards the younger refugees, who we hope will take part in that opportunity. Many of the businesses that are successful were started up by refugees from Lebanon, and now the people of Nova Scotia are questioning whether or not this will be another successful time with the help of the new generation of Syrian refugees. I believe that the Syrian refugees consist of high levels of knowledge which can aid in different aspects of businesses. More specifically, they can help businesses in the provinces with higher populations, as there is more demand for necessities. For example, the high fashion markets could contribute to the high end clothing brands that are starting up in Canada. In addition, The Conference Board of Canada brought discussed an important point that without the immigrants coming into Canada, there would be a shortage of labour. This would therefore decrease on our medical resources that we receive from the government, as well as the pension funds that the

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

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.
