Syrian Refugees Research Paper

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

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

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 current world refugee crisis is the worst since World War II with currently over 59.9 million forcibly displaced people, which equivalates to a 40% increase in 3 years. This influx of refugees can be seen as a crisis, many countries are under intense strain trying to taking in the large amounts who are fleeing from danger, with Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt taking in 95% of fleeing Syrian refugees. Turkey taking in the most people with an estimated figure 1.9 million. However, countries in the Persian gulf, closer to Syria, have taken in no refugees. With nowhere to go, 1 in 4 refugees were forced resettle in poor countries such as Ethiopia. Europe has also been under much strain with small facilities for refugees and large numbers affecting the border states such as Italy, Greece and Bulgaria. Germany has resettled over 800 000 refugees, more than the whole of Europe in 2014.

Many refugees are seeking a safe haven in Western Europe, and even in neighbouring countries. Places such as: Turkey, Jordon, Lebanon and Iraq are only a few to name. This may be the worst refugee crisis since World War II with about 85% of resettlement spots are pledged by Germany. It has become a matter of neglect towards human beings rather than a fight for freedom rights. People prefer security over those freedom rights and rebels are continuing at the risk of

In the article “Syria is emptying”, Liz Sly, shows you just how bad things are getting in Syria. Syrians are fleeing their nation at a rapid pace. While trying to get out of Syria they have endured cruel conditions before they even have a chance to get out. Syrians are trying to avoid the devastation spreading across their country. Causing one of the largest migrations in Syrian history.

People from Syrians are leaving their country because they are killing family member and they are picking people to be in the war. but some of them are escape from Syrians so they wont have to do what they are going to make them do and they also leave so their children can have a better life.

On November 13, 2015, the terrorist attack that shook Paris, France, generated an abundance of negative responses from American politicians about how the Obama administration was handling plans with the incoming Syrian refugees. With the news that one of the attackers may have been Syrian, American politicians were quick to question the potential risk that members of ISIS may be disguising themselves amongst the thousands of Syrian refugees the Obama administration hoped would safely enter United States territory. But, instead of providing solutions to strengthen the United States’ screening procedures already set into place, fearful elected officials responded with an immediate proposal similar to that of President Roosevelt’s Executive Order

Many Syrian refugees flee to Turkey, the closes country to Syria, and try to reach Europe eventually. The majority of these men, women,

My reaction to the VICE video on Syrian Refugees was that it saddens me on how these innocent civilians have to flee their home countries and basically leave everything behind to find a new life somewhere safer. The video brings a lot of things into perspective, specifically the hardships of every pitstop in the journey to safety. It seems that even though refugees move to one country, they must move onto another one because they see that the conditions are not even habitable. For example, they migrated from Turkey, to Greece, Macedonia, and eventually Germany. Although these are locations that are far away from the violence of ISIS, it is a never-ending cycle of being disappointed by a lack of resources and facing discrimination from Islamophobics.

In March of 2011, the Syrian civil war caused what is known to be one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. No one would have thought that the civil war would cause the Syrian refugee crisis to escalate to millions of people escaping the perilous conditions over the course of 4 years. For neighboring countries, this is a major concern because over 23 million of Syria's population is in dire need of help. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are risking their lives escaping from Syria and traveling to neighboring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and the United States. The United States is more than capable of funding Syrians that make their way over here, but the cap as to how many Syrians

We can help migrant refugees by giving them a chance to start over and find a new life. We can make houses and donate. By giving them jobs, they can earn money and by food, water, clothes, and sometimes even shelter. To help them get a fresh new start, all we have to do is give them a small push and they can do amazing things.

The refugees are coming unidentified and sometimes unknown by the governments and border control. Because of this, it leads to an increased tension between European nations on how to control the borders and prevent undocumented asylum seekers from entering

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.
