The Syrian Refugee Crisis

Due to the many different attitudes and views on the Syrian Refugee crisis, and the opinions that vary by country, Canada should further explore their options when considering to accept more Refugees. While doing so Canada and the rest of the world should offer support in various ways. The Refugee crisis has been in the media for many months, and is the world's number one focus at the moment. Countries have different thoughts on the situation, and many believe that it does not concern them. The government of Canada needs to address the concerns that Canadians have regarding the resettlement of Syrians.

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

Summary: The refugees of Syria have gone through unimaginable hardships. The Olywi sisters had their hopes of achieving their dreams in their hometown of Raqqa. However, their dreams were shattered when the Islamic State overran the city, forcing the Olywi sisters and their father to pay smugglers a large sum of money to be smuggled to Greece. Manal, Wisam, and Mwafak, siblings from the neighborhood of Yarmouk, were separated from each other for years. They were finally reunited in Germany, but the reunion was short lived when Manal died of cancer. Though they did find Germany a safe haven, Wisam remarks that it is hard to adjust to such an unfamiliar place with such a different culture. In Sweden, many feel that these refugees are taking over their Swedish culture. There is even evidence of Islamophobia within the immigrant communities in Sweden. However, it is not as bad as Russia. Yasser, a tailor, claims that his boss stopped to pay him and that if he does not like the current situation that he is in, he can just go back to Syria. Police there even bride the refugees for money.

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

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

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.

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
