Traumatic Events In Syria

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 .

The Iraq Genocide was an action of slaughter against the Kurdish individuals , because Ali Hussain was the President's cousin did not want the Kurdish to have their own rebellion or them to have land and independence for themselves. This Genocide was the presidents mistake and his cousins fault for selfish reasons against the kurds

In Syria there is a war going on, and had been going on for over 5 years. Many people have fled and 400,000 people have been killed. There is this organization called the white helmets and they are designed to save and help people when a bomb hits. Although many have fled , the ones who stayed back rely on this group of white helmets to help them if they ever get injured or trapped because of a bomb. Many of the people that are getting targeted are women and children and they are innocent people. The white helmets believe everyone's life is equal so they try their hardest on trying to rescue people from the rubble. The white helmets get sent away for a month and get trained on how to properly put out a fire, how to rescue someone,

Traumatic events or experiences, whether in the formative years or during adulthood, can adversely affect the behavioral and mental health of those victimized. Childhood exposure to traumatic events, such as child abuse or neglect, violent crime or domestic violence can lead to mood and behavior regulation problems, such as difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships, emotional lability and lack of personal insight. There are several types of trauma including historical, domestic violence, homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and chronic toxic stress. The homeless population have experienced traumatic events in their formative years, so they lack the social and life skills that remain housed, maintain employment and develop health interpersonal relationships. Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is a framework whereby a client’s needs are

Among the Ruins: Syria Past and Present by Christian Sahner is a narration of Sahner’s viewpoints of the conflicts that besiege Syria today with their accompanying historical basis. He highlights the effect that this is not just another “Arab Spring” or sectarian brush fire that suddenly appeared but instead is deeply rooted in cultural tensions that have boiled over. Sahner provides examples of sectarianism and its impact upon Syria throughout history but also supports his thesis that the conflict extends beyond sectarianism, which he supports through historical illustrations. Furthermore, his prolific usage of first-person experience and writing breathes life into historical notions. One example is Sahner’s quote of a Syrian

World War One, known by many as the “Great War”, lives in infamy as one of the harshest, brutal wars in history. While the high amount of casualties decimated populations, another huge factor was the toll the war had on the youth that served. The madness that was known as trench warfare was the stuff of nightmares, from the horrid living conditions, to the unpredictability of the opposing onslaught of artillery, soldiers were surrounded by death. This trauma and constant stress ruined countless lives, old and young. If the bullets did not get you, the stress would. The question was when, not how. In the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, author Erich Maria Remarque told the story of a young man named Paul Bäumer, and how he and

A History of Government sponsored oppression in Syria, the Soviet Union and the Quin Dynasty.

Syria, an important and influential country in the Middle East resides on the four corners of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Syria’s history dates back many centuries and covers the multi-highway of commerce and religion. Both the ancient Silk Road between the Mediterranean and China and the Pilgrim’s Road to Mecca pass routed throughout Syria. Although the country’s population is 86% Muslim, the oldest Semitic language of Aramaic written in parts of the Hebrew Bible is still spoken today.

We all know what is happening in Syria over the past four years from violence to disorder, crimes, and inhumane crimes. Most of the innocent families had fled to neighboring Arabian countries, but when the Arabian countries closed their gates for any more fleeing families they began to flee to European countries. Some of the European counties that Syrian families flee to are Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. These countries provide some excellent services to the fleeing families such as providing them a home to live in, and giving them a weekly wage of $100, and after 4 years of living in the country they will get the nationality.

In eyes of the world, as well as a large part of the Arab world, Bashar al-Assad is portrayed as a ruthless dictator. Almost nobody seems to consider the motives of the Syrian president. What few know is that Assad enjoys significant support from both his Alawite people and other minority groups. The Alawites and other minorities have little choice; Syrian rebels and Islamist terror groups could win the war or sign their death warrant. It would be launched large-scale ethnic cleansing and even genocide.

Syria is located in the Middle East and the capital of Syria is Damascus. Although this can be a diverse region, the official language of Syria is Arabic. Even though the official language is Arabic, there are many more languages spoke there such as, Kurdish, Armenian, Aramaic, and Circassian. The region’s population is about 22.5 million people. Syria’s largest mountain is Mount Hermon and the longest river is Euphrates. Syria is also home to Lake Assad, which is the largest lake in Syria (Operation World). Syria’s economy is based on its exports. Syria is known for their oil, petroleum, and cotton fiber (Operation World). The United States has tried to get ahold of the oil in the Middle East. During the Gulf War in the Middle East, between 1967 and 1973, the United States sided with Israel. This led to the oil embargo, where the Arabs refused to sell oil to the United States for a short time. This led to an energy crisis in the United States (Hobbs, 178). In Syria and much of the Middle East they also grow a lot of food. Some of their main agriculture is wheat, barley, and cotton (Syria Facts). Syria has a very fertile plain because it is along the Mediterranean coast which provides good soil for growing crops. However, over half of Syria

Have you ever taken the time to look around you at your surroundings? Or taken a moment to reflect on the experiences you have had that have had a big impact on your life? Have you ever thought about the fact that they could affect and shape the person that you are? That the only thing making you you, is your experiences and what you are exposed to everyday? Well, you may not realize it but this is the case. Everything around you and your experiences impact you, shape you and make up the person that you are.

During the Syrian massacre in 1982 when the president, Hafez al-Assad razed the city to crush a Sunni rebellion slaughtering twenty thousand of his own people, and thousands more got injured, my grandfather, was the owner of a pharmacy that was called “Pharmacy of Aleppo.” Due to the poverty, he was dispensing drugs medication to people for a very low price or even some of them for free. Between 1982 and 1983, he was in his pharmacy, giving and selling medications to people. Several days later, The Syrian Government came knocking on my grandfather’s door and arrested him for providing medication for the rebels. Tragically, he was thrown in jail for three years for helping people, my dad followed my grandfather’s path, serving time for helping

War has been a constant throughout human history, and it comes hand in hand with death, destruction, and chaos. Conflicts in regions in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America continue to drag on today and the human cost continues to grow. Of all the victims of conflict, the hardest hit victims of the vicious cycle of war and terror today are children. The failure to provide essential needs such as clean food and water, shelter, sanitation, and healthcare along with several others in times of conflict have led to Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) and those who survive through conflict have to deal with the permanent psychological trauma of witnessing war. Dealing with child malnutrition in conflict zones is not as simple as providing

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
