Syrian Civil War: The Syrian Refugee Crisis

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).

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

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

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.

Recently, ISIS bombed and killed over a hundred people in Paris and other countries where Syrian refugees escaped to. President Obama has agreed to allow Syrian refugees into the United States and provide the refugees with homes and free food. Refugees whom we were just fighting against. There's something wrong with this picture. President Obama should not be allowing Syrian refugees into the United States because it increases the chance of having another terrorist attack and we should be giving our own citizens that are homeless what the government is willing to give non citizens.

The world has not seen a disaster quite as extreme as Syria’s refugee crisis since the event of World War II. With civil unrest and violence disfiguring the nation into a place where only destruction is promised, the state of Syria has forced millions of people out of their homes with no choice but to flee. Without a secure destination ahead, the war is just one problem out of the many that refugees will come face-to-face with on their road to safety. Many countries have voiced their position on the matter and are either allowing few to stay within their territories or denying these people help altogether. Although there are more than four million Syrian refugees, the United States has accepted only 1,500 of them over the last four years (Gordon, Smale, and Lyman). Comparing these numbers, it’s clear just how little is being done to alleviate the situation. Even countries that have the power to do so, such as the United States, remain unhelpful. The question that arises out of this is: why exactly are countries hesitant to take these people in? In the articles “U.S. Will Accept More Refugees as Crisis Grows” by Michael R. Gordon, Alison Smale, and Rick Lyman, “Refugee Crisis in Syria Raises Fears in South Carolina” by Richard Fausset, and video clip of HBO 's Last Week Tonight by John Oliver, each spokesperson hints at or explicitly states that the reason is not all in good theory. The xenophobia and stereotyping of Muslim people being terrorists are preventing nations from

Syria is a country that borders Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Its population is about 22.5 million. Syria is in the midst of a war, the Syrian Civil war is a conflict between its long-serving government and rebels who disagree with the government and want to push them out of office. Many civilians are being killed by both the government and opposition. By June 2013, the UN said 90,000 people had been killed in the conflict. By August 2015, that figure had climbed to 250,000, according to activists and the UN. Many civilians are fleeing their homes and country because of the war and chaos in Syria. More than 4.5 million people had fled Syria into neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. According

Syria’s civil war is a really big problem in our society right now. Many of the people living there have been killed or forced to leave the country. The issue is starting to be an immense problem for many European countries. Many families are leaving Syria and seeking asylum in different countries such as: Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey. These people are wanting to make new homes in these countries but face many overwhelming struggles. The conditions of Syria are horrible. People are becoming sick due to lack of sanitation and kids are ill-treated and famished. Most kids have dropped out of school and many children are forced to work to support their families. These families have decided that staying is more

I am writing to you about the refugee crisis. The U.S. needs to accept more refugees because their lives are frightful and they need assistance in these horrible times. I am interested in this topic because the refugees are not being dealt with correctly, because they are fleeing their own countries because of the terrorist, that are taking over their land. Many families inside Syria are struggling to survive and make a new home in neighboring countries. Others are risking their lives on the way to Europe, hoping to find acceptance and opportunity. Half the country’s pre-war population, more than 11 million people, have been killed or forced to flee their homes. Many of the refugees are dying at sea trying to reach Europe, for a safer place

After a long day at school or work you go home, have a snack, watch some television and do homework or chores. Then you have a nice, quiet dinner with your family and can go to bed. In the world, this is what society regards as the “norm.” Now think of laboring ten times as hard for no pay but for your freedom; barely having scraps to eat and stressing over the fact that your tarp roof might blow away and leave you unprotected during the night. Sadly, this is the “norm” for most Syrian refugees. Around the world, countries can help the crisis in Syria politically by looking past differences and uniting with refugees, economically by realizing that helping refugees will advance our economy rather than diminish

Balancing humanitarian concerns with U.S national interests is essential in determining a strategy for the refugee crisis in Syria. According to the UN Refugee Agency, there are approximately 2.5 million refugees, more than half of which are children. Not only do such atrocities conflict with the moral fiber of democracy, but also present serious risks to the economic well-being and security of the United States. Current research as well as historical reference illustrate that U.S foreign policy being implemented in the region is ineffective and at times counter-productive. If issues regarding the refugee crisis are not dealt with promptly, the potential for Syrian cooperation is greatly decreased, and the likelihood of civil war expanding to neighboring countries is significantly greater. Based on expert opinion, the following recommendations should be taken into consideration:

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.

Our lives are ruled by technology, most of the adults from generation Y and Z start their day the same way: by checking social media. You may have noticed the term “Aleppo” trending frequently as of lately. If you asked yourself ‘what is Aleppo?’ then you asked the same question that Gary Johnson repeated out loud. On September 8th, 2016 Gary Johnson was on MSNBC’s ‘ Morning Joe’, and was asked “ If you were elected, what would you do about Aleppo?” his response: “Aleppo? And what is Aleppo?”
