Because of America’s great wealth and success, other countries expect us to open our boarders and gladly invite refugees into our towns and cities. Charles Wheelan does a fantastic job of encouraging Americans to do just that. However, he fails to think of the risks and errors that come with allowing hundreds of thousands of suffering people (Wheelan) into our country. People all across the globe think that rich Americans should help these people even though they have not personally asked our government officials to help them. Wheelan views this as a matter of bravery, responsibility, and fear of terrorists in his article Courage in Crises.

It is fascinating when two people from completely different backgrounds have common characteristics. A world of poverty is depicted in Liz Murray’s book Breaking Night (2010). The memoir tells the struggles of a young girl’s journey from living on the city streets to attending one of the top schools in the country. Although our lives are quite different, Liz Murray and I show similar traits through struggle and success.

Both stories main character is a woman who was “trapped” in each of their marriages. “There would be no one to live for her during those coming years: she would live for herself”, “Hurrah, this is the last day but it isn’t enough”. Both women are looking forward to a better life to live for themselves, instead of living for their husbands. These quotes give the audience an idea of how their husbands might have been controlling, manipulative, and basically taking the life out of them. These quotes can also interpret the way men and society viewed women as lower than
Ray Bradbury’s short story, “The Last Night of the World” highlights American citizens’ fear of the world ending at any given moment during the Cold War. Although explicitly stated otherwise in the text, Bradbury cleverly addresses these fears by disguising them as a common dream among the characters in the short story. In my research, I focused on articles that bridged Bradbury, a well-known author of several famous novels about the Cold War, and sources that highlighted the attitudes of Americans about the war, itself. As a history buff, the Cold War has always been an interest of mine, thus leading me to the works of Ray Bradbury. Through research and inquiry, I was able to manipulate my topic to fit both “The Last Night of the World” and my own personal
A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.
This article explains and show the immigration crisis today in Europe and how it might still yet to get worst. In Europe as it is today, has been serving as a major ground for immigrant refugees. There is over sixty million displaced people and refugees, numbers not even heard of during the period of WW2 coming from not only seria but from other regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and even Haiti. The must striking thing about this crisis, is that it is still expected to get worst. Say if the tailaban keep trying to extend their territorial gains across Afghanistan, this will force afghans to want to migrate. Due to this attacks, about one hundred thousand afghans are expected to migrate to Europe this year. These numbers increase daily as these refugees try to escape thier home countries due to terrosm or other unpeace conditions. For example many inhaptants of Iraq are already homeless, daily amid wartime shortages of food and medicine and persistent bombardment by Isis . Yemen is not much farther away from Europe than eritia now the biggest source of African refugees, just across the Red Sea, and at some 25 million it is as. According to numerous interviews conducted, Nigeria which has a
This limited amount of land area causes Japan to have several disadvantages when it comes to accepting refugees, as there is already a limited amount of space with a current population of around 130,000,000 (Brinkhoff). Evidently, combining these numbers proves that Japan already has enough people of their own to protect and provide for. Each of those 130 million people need jobs, housing, food, and other recourses to provide the highest quality of life. Elaine Kurtenbach and Maro Yamaguchi, business writers and correspondents at The Associated Press and authors of Japan, Wary of Outsiders, Keeps Doors Closed to Refugees reported that Japan has gotten around 22,000 asylum seekers since 1982 (Kurtenbach & Yamaguchi). Though this number may not seem significant, that is 22,000 human lives that also need to be ensured a proper quality of life and human rights. That is around 22,000 houses that could be given to the hundreds of thousands of people that lost their homes after “[...] March 11, 2011, [when] a
World War II and the diseased mind of Hitler were the factors the led to the Genocide. People who were not the superior race in Hitler’s opinion did not deserve to live.

Because Syrian refugees are fleeing terrorism and poverty as the conflict escalates in their home country, European countries have a moral obligation to help those who are forced to seek asylum. For instance, in their New Statesman article on January 17, 2014 (2014 1) on the UN meeting discussing increased aid for Syrian refugees and Britain’s refusal to accept any, the article states,
