Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant
European settlers had arrived on the shores of Port Phillip Bay in 1835 and preceded to settle in Melbourne. Many massacres occurred in the Kulin nation periodically after the settler’s arrival (https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.php) forcing many of the Kulin clans to flee their land as an act of survival. There was also no spare land that was available for them that wasn’t occupied by settlers or squatters, Aboriginals only took up 1% of the land they once fully inhabited(video) Furthermore, the lieutenant-governor Charles La Trobe issued a ban on the Aboriginal people in 1840 from living in Melbourne (http://coranderrk.com/wordpress/?page_id=768). These ancestors who were separated from their land which had begun to replicate a European city must have suffered from terrible effects on their identity and their spirituality, understanding the
During World War Two the Jewish people were being “exterminated” by their fellow neighbors, own government and even their own loyal worshipers. They were not even being attacked for a valid reason, this was all set into motion by the beliefs of Adolf Hitler, German Dictator. Hitler held beliefs known as anti-semitism, he was not the first person to hate the Jewish people as a whole, but he was the first person to establish an entire army and country against them. Many of the Jewish people began to flee the country, in hope to escape the genocide. This task became extremely difficult when neighboring countries realized why they were fleeing. The refugees were denied access into the United States and Cuba, but later were taken in by very few countries in Europe and in the surrounding areas .
Attention getter- Have you ever been forced to leave your hometown without committing any crimes or doing something wrong? Imagine yourself waking up one day, seeing that you are in the middle of the war with people running around and screaming for their lives. Such incident may seem very unlikely to happen to you however, the people of Syria have been experiencing it for almost everyday of their lives. .
Regarding my question, I am trying to find a variety of sources which portray differing perspectives as I not only intend on recounting the actions of the West-German Authorities, but also portray differing views and criticisms of their response. From what I have gathered from my initial research, these historical interpretations don’t necessarily derive from specific schools of thought (as the event is quite recent) but more-so from differing sociopolitical/cultural regions of the world. These include a Western view, such as American Simon Reeve, Israeli view such as Yarin Kimor and German perspective such as Manfried Schreiber. Furthermore, some of these sources aren’t necessarily historical scholars but rather journalists, experts in their respective field, or simply significant characters surrounding the crisis.
I took Chemistry for the first time as an Honors Chemistry course in junior year and loved it. My teacher did not explain so well, so I had to teach myself the material. Previously I had considered this situations a burden because I had to spend so much time reading the book and looking for information online, but with Chemistry it was different. I enjoyed reading about the different subjects and understanding their applications to our daily lives. This passion I feel for Chemistry only got stronger and stronger, which is why I’m taking AP Chemistry as a senior, even though it meant not being able to take AP French, which I enjoyed a lot.
Conflict began in Syria, in 2011, when peaceful protesters organized, hoping to ensue change in the government. The government responded with devastating bombings at the sites of the protests. Linda J. was born and raised in Syria where she married and had 5 children. After her 7-day old son was murdered at a hospital, bombed by the government, Linda J. and her family decided to leave Syria. After a year of living in Lebanon, sustaining 7 people off an income of $15 a day, Linda J. and her husband received news that they would be considered for “resettlement” in America (Linda J.). After more than a year of intense questioning, and countless background searches, Linda J. and her family were cleared to move to the U.S. She recalls, “My story is my story, so I knew that the details would match their information. But I was not prepared for the level of scrutiny or length of the process” (Linda J.). They traveled to the U.S. with only $30 for their journey. After living in the U.S. for a year, Linda’s husband has a job, and her children are attending school. Linda J. stated, “My biggest dream is for my daughters to have a good education and good careers, and for us to be part of this society: to learn the language, to do something productive, to integrate” (Linda J.). Linda J. concluded her recollection with this statement, “I understand that there is a necessary process for Syrian families to come here, but please don’t close the door” (Linda J.). Because the majority of
Because of the traumatic events that happened and are still happening in Syria, if I got a ticket and could go anywhere, I would go to Syria. Seven years go, Syria turned into a full-scale civil war. Syrians were angered by the high unemployment rate, political woes, and the lack of freedom. This brought many to protest and escalate violence. The Syrian government then reacted by comannading the Syrian air force to drop two chemical bombs on Syrian civilians. These bombs killed at least 89 people and injured 541 others. I know many people would stay clear of a place like this but I have been taught that when you see someone in need of help, you help. Yes, the threat of getting hurt, or worse, is imminent but how could any human being turn their head on these poor people.
Topic sentence In the Middle East numerous rights have been violated according to the United Nations, these rights are getting violated by the government, terror groups, and local Militias. One thing that should be kept in mind that culture and other practices aren’t the same in every country so we must remember that the western way isn’t always the right way.
Asphyxiation, foaming of the mouth, vomiting and death were the aftermath that Syrians in the town of Khan Sheikhoun experienced on April 4th, 2017 after they had been bombarded with chemical gas. When the smoke cleared from the airstrike that dropped the chemical gas, many Syrians were left without mothers, fathers, children and siblings. Behind this gruesome attack was Syrian President Bashar al-Assad whose actions were not left unnoticed by many news outlets. Once this attack occurred, online informational news websites, as well as political blogs, were quick to cover the Syrian Chemical Attack. These two genres have a goal of spreading information on current events to their readers. Online informational news websites, such as CNN and
My high school teacher for Honors Chemistry and AP Chemistry imbedded in me a passion for chemistry. The AP Chemistry class was challenging, but it was one of the most rewarding classes I have ever taken. The class was small, and each student contributed to the class and challenged one another. I especially enjoy classes where all the students in the class are diverse and have the drive to succeed.
Bashar al-Assad is the 19th president of Syria, he has committed genocide on the people of his country. The protests continued after the first strike made by Bashar al-Assad. Leading to more strikes, and ultimately resulting in an ongoing genocide. There haven’t been any stereotypes involved in this genocide, though there is a common target of protesters, there hasn’t been any characteristics or ethnicities that have been targeted.
I have always enjoyed science class since sixth grade when we first started learning about physics, particularly, work and force. Since then, my passion for science has evolved throughout middle school and high school. I enjoyed learning biology in tenth grade while making connections with the human anatomy taught in seventh grade. It is fascinating how everything is interconnected in the field of science. Currently, I am taking Advanced Placement Chemistry as a junior. The most interesting aspect of this class is the opportunity to learn new material while making connections with the curriculum taught in the past. I enjoy dissecting new information and constructing interdisciplinary connections.
A group of boys aged ten to fifteen painted simple graffiti on a wall in their town one day in 2011. What these boys didn’t know was that this would create a country wide civil war that has killed 250 thousand people and displaced millions more. The Syrian Civil War has evolved into a worldwide issue that is one of the most pressing problems of the current day. “In all, 11.5 percent of Syria’s population has been wounded or killed since 2011, according to the SCPR analysis. The vast majority of deaths — 400,000 — were caused by violence, while 70,000 came as an indirect result of the war — the collapse of the country’s health-care infrastructure, lack of access to medicine, poor sanitation, the spread of communicable diseases, falling vaccination
The main idea of this article was that ISIS ( an extremest group ) made an attack on Kobani, a city in Syria. It was the second largest massacre, preformed by ISIS. There has also been fighting between ISIS and YPG ( Kurdish security forces ) in Kobani. On Thursday, ISIS militants disguised themselves as YPG and killed one-hundred and forty civilians. They also injured more than 200 people in Kobani. In the west region of the city on Friday, YGP formed a blockage around the Euphrates river. This blocked ISIS militants from crossing it to go home to their villages. I made connections to different places and tribes.
