The current issue I will be covering within this paper will be the ongoing migration of individuals from northern African states, such as Syria and Libya, into Europe and states contained within the European Union as a result of furthering IS advancement in the region. The displacement of these individuals or migrants form their home lands not only causes severe socioeconomic strains on the nations of Syria and Libya on top of the current political conflict, but it also afflicts the resources and politics of the nations these individuals migrate to in order to escape the current conflict. There really is not limit to the amount of actors involved within, what now is a global issue. Relevant actors range from the European Union Commission …show more content…
President of the European Council, Donald Tusk addressed the European Parliament during a March European Council meeting that “it would not be possible to apply the same approach used for the Balkans to unstable Libya” . The approach being to cut off certain parts of the borders between the sea and other European nations in order to more accurately process migrants to ensure safety and stability for the people not only in the European Union, but for the whole of Europe. Tusk and other European PM’s have been under fire by some of international community and some other European nations whilst reaching a deal between the EU and Turkey in response to the sizable amount of refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and Greece, which has been coined at the most dangerous route, taking countless number of refugee lives. The alternative route include passage through various EU nations, leaving the possibility to lose track of migrants, not only providing false data in terms of logistics of migrants traveling to and from their country of origin, but also contributing to an uneven allocation of resources for the nation where these individuals end up, potentially causing a shortage of assets to appropriately manage the amount of refugees
Northerners- British who migrated to the US settled in Virginia and Maryland and they came in as indentured servants. After the independence, their migration the US slow because America didn’t approve of their government. When Scotland suffered a severe economic depression in 1921, about 1.5 million Scots migrated to the US and many were professional and skills laborers. Many Scotch-Irish migrated to the US in the 18th century due to economic depression brought on by textile slump in Ireland. many also migrated due to religious freedom and farming. It is estimated that about 1 billion people from Francs migrated to the US religious persecution and economic opportunity.
The nature of western migration was good and bad. With out western migration America wouldn’t be what it is now. But if we had found a different way to deal with the Indians it could have happened with less blood shed. We could have upheld our part of the treats with the Indians. We could have found a way to live with them instead of kicking them out. Then we would have been able to use the knowledge they have since they lived there for so long. But the increase in western migration kicked the indians out of their land.
The “great migration” is a historical movement of approximately 1.3 million African Americans from the Southern to the Northern United States from 1910 to 1930, settling primarily in large industrialized cities such as New York, Cleveland and Chicago. A second wave of northward migration occurred from 1940 to 1970 and involved approximately 5 million African Americans. This historical movement provides an opportunity to explore differences in cognitive test performance in old age among the African-American community related to early life environment.
The European migrant crisis began in 2015 when there was an influx of refugees coming into the European Union through southern European countries and by way of the Mediterranean Sea. An extremely large portion of these refugees came from Syria and Iraq. One of the leading causes of the mass migration was war and unrest and the consequent rise of insurgency groups such as ISIS within these people’s home countries. As their homes and cities have become unfit to live in any longer, people have been driven to seek asylum in European countries. Greece and other southern European countries like
In the 1500s, England decided to create their own church called the Church of England. Everyone was forced to belong to this church, causing them to have no religious freedom. Many people were against this decision, making them decide to leave England, and go to New England. This is what sparked The Great Migration. Taking place between 1620 and 1640, over twenty thousand Puritan immigrants decided to leave their homes in England and aboard onto ships to settle in New England. They did this to not only be able to practice religion freely, but to also explore and make more money of their own.
The difficult conclusion must be that neither burden-sharing nor diplomacy will end this crisis, that migrants will continue to come in very substantial numbers, and Europe will continue to blunder along, torn between concern about their suffering and fears about a future different from the one we had until now imagined. overcrowded refugee centers and local authorities and police stretched to their
Non-historical evidence is necessary in understanding human evolution since the earliest stages of our history occurred before writing existed. While later civilizations could record their own history, the account of early Homo sapiens is incomplete without information from before written language. Subsequently, there are no explicit records detailing how humans expanded from one continent to all seven, causing historians to need alternate sources of information in order to expand upon theories of evolution; the non-recorded remains of these civilizations provide answers to many of the gaps left in humans’ evolutionary narrative.
Women, men, and children from West Africa are migrating to Europe because of the instability and violence that is taking place in Syria, Iraq, and Eritrea. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), “About 710,000 people” are crossing the european border. The vast migration is causing an increase on human trafficking, since traffickers and smugglers are taking advantage of the refugees. The IOM is reaching out to European countries “to spend more resources against sex trafficking,” in order to relocate and reduce the amount of refugees that are being victimize. A plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States has being criticize because people are concern about the national security of the nation. The GOP presidential candidates are against the resettlement program. According to them the Syrian refugees post a threat to the national security of the United States. While, the Democratic presidential candidates want to increase the number of refugees that are going to be admitted. The refugees crisis has become the worst humanitarian Crisis in the world today. As citizens we have to sympathize with them and provide a
Integration of Arab immigrants is one of the most contentious issues in Europe and is becoming a huge area of concern for many European countries. More than one million asylum-seekers arrived to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea in 2015. The United Nations High Commissioner in Refugees (UNHCR) evaluated that approximately 84% of these migrants are from countries that qualify them as refugees (because of war or other circumstances). This sudden huge influx of immigrants poses a huge challenge for the European countries and how they will be integrated in European society will define the social, economical, and political future of Europe.
The article “The Great Human Migration” uses non- historical evidence like archaeological findings or samples of DNA which have proven theories to draw conclusions about human history. Two main theories, the Multi- Regional hypothesis and the Out-of-Africa Theory, have arose to support and explicate the fossil records. Unhistorical evidence, like analyzing DNA, have helped scientists trace heredities all the way back in time. This proved that Homo sapiens have evolved in Africa, almost 200,000 years ago. This evidence
Increases in human trafficking is also directly connected to the political conflict; with over 9 million refugees fleeing the country in nations via Lebanon and Egypt (), countries that are fragmented such as Libya have become important bases for terrorists groups to “operate with almost complete immunity.” they are being deceived and taken advantage of by smugglers. Most migrants are coerced to work for months in stops on the smuggling routes, where sexual violence and physical abuse is common at the hands of smugglers and fellow refugees alike. (NYTIMES) These victims of oppression believe they will be given safe passage to the West, notably to Northern European countries, when in reality they are put on a hazardous journey. This past January alone, at least 113 refugees died at sea in attempts to reach Europe. To prevent further deaths of innocent victims, it is crucial that something must be done. For militia groups, illegal migration is one of the “largest sources of income in Libya” since the fall of Gadhafi. This crisis has also become a “self-inflicted refugee emergency.” With the attitudes of local communities towards refugees hardening, Syrian refugees have been making the journey now before they are completely ostracized and the weather is
Some believe that it is necessary to control migration in the UK, as they believe that too many immigrants could lead to overpopulation, unemployment and housing shortages. It is commonly believed that migration should be controlled, as migrants ‘come over to our country and take our benefits’; however this is not necessarily factually correct. This essay aims to discuss the benefits and problems of migration in the UK, and make a conclusion based on the evidence I have discussed, about whether migration should or should not be controlled by the UK Government.
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.
* The world politics is now full of tensions, complexities, and chaotic. As we can see from the recent crisis for example, Libya (March 2011). Immediately, the number of more than 200,000 people had fled from Libya, mostly migrant workers from Egypt and Tunisia but including many more nationalities. This is the largest international evacuation since the 1st Gulf War (1990) (www.unhcr.org). The raising of crisis is alarmed as one of the global trends and causes a lot of displaced persons, asylum seekers and refugees. Not only
Migration has been the force of change for many European countries throughout history. It has been and continues to be vital in the shaping of European countries’ economies, policies and it’s cultures. The author of this paper tackles the matters of migration, minorities and the issues of migration research that have occurred over time. Throughout the article the author poses arguments on the issues of migration research and possible solutions for more coherent research outcomes. Considering the values of the European Union (the respect for human rights and the rights of minorities), it was very challenging for me to apprehend the stereotypes, biases and difficulties that come hand in hand with European migration research.
