The world has not learned from the events of the Holocaust because places are hesitant to help them, people are dyeing, and there running out of resources. From 1933 to 1945 during World War 2, about 5 million of the Jews in Europe lost their lives to Hitler’s ruling. The world waited to take action to help the jews because we did not know about the concentration camps. Now, in 2015, the world is still waiting to take action and repeating the same mistakes 70 years later in Syria.…
With higher risk of gang brutality and homicide, many children, teenagers, and families are choosing to leave their countries and seek asylum in the United States. For example; July, a 32 year old woman dealing with the violence in her town alongside her three children. “For eight years, July’s family has been struggling with the gang and narco-cartel violence that has overtaken many areas of her country. On Oct. 29, 2007, her brother, Carlos Luis Pérez, a skinny 22-year-old, was kidnapped and then found dead two days later in a sewage ditch, his hands and feet cut off.” ( Sonia Nazario. “The Refugees at Our Door.” nytimes.com. October 15, 2015. Web. January 6, 2016.) With regular killings, the danger of living in gang infested towns…
I’m in search of a home. As we reach foreign shores and repudiate flies over our heads. Hope like a glint of light at the end of a tunnel lures me in as I reach a foreign shores instead I am left to only ponder on glimpses of the free life. On a final string of hope a man’s arms welcome us with acceptance. Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for joining me in congratulating Australian of the year awards day; there is only person who resembles the embodiment of a true hero- Paris Aristotle. As many of you ladies and gentlemen may or may not be aware of Paris is a Refugee, torture and trauma rehabilitation advocate. Paris Aristotle irrefutably deserves the Australian Hero of the Year with his possession of heroic characteristics…
The U.S. is having a hard time deciding what to do about immigrants. No one knows what to do. No decision has been made on whether they are going to let them in and help the innocent people, or are they going to leave them out because of the ones who aren't actually Syrian Refugees. So, do we risk the chance or leave them all out and be better safe than sorry? There hasn't been a final decision yet.…
This fear of one evil immigrant led to careful screenings of refugees fleeing persecution. Not even half a century later, these views are prevalent. Islamophobia has grown increasingly more relevant as each year progresses, with the growing refugee crisis, coupled with recent travel bans, it is apparent there is a problem. The fear of one radical Islamic terrorist being among a group of Middle Eastern refugees has led to a fear of all Middle Eastern refugees. History repeats itself, and American history is no exception to this rule.…
I agree with President Obama to bring more refugees into the united states.I think it is safe.I also agree people are fighting for safety for their family and themselves , and being declined.…
Very often, people do not know what a refugee is, and what they have to go through, and once they do get informed about whom they are and their characteristics, they compare them to immigrants. What they don’t know is that these two peoples are very common but only come to a new country because of different reasons.…
The book “Inside Out and Back Again” , a book of poetry written by Thanhha Lai, brings light to the struggles and obstacles that refugees face, which some overcome through what they love. A refugee might have a hard time leaving their homes, which might have been all they knew. Even after they have abandoned their heritage for a new hope, they risk everything to arrive in order to arrive at their new home. It seems although the hardships never end for these individuals, some facing discrimination because they are different, and new. Even though their lives may turn inside out, some, perusing what they love, can have comfort. These struggles can be present for people from all over the world,…
While Australia is not the only country to detain unauthorised arrivals, it is the only country to mandatory detain children. (Keks, 2013) This movement is widely criticised by rights groups and the UN. A church group even describe it as "state-sanctioned child abuse". They treat children and other asylum seekers in the same way. Children are facing the long processing time without adequate access to schooling and other special services. They are held in some closed detention facilities or detention centres with poor condition for prolonged periods.…
The refugees are more likely to have the common support in our community because of the misconceptions about homeless people being associated with drugs and other personal consequences. Refugees were once a group of human beings who were free and had rights like everybody else until they were stripped away from them, which leads us to sympathize with refugees more than with homeless people who probably ended up in such a situation because of drug abuse, disregarding their education and etc;. Also, there are organizations and charities (that includes soup kitchens and shelters) which have been built to help the homeless in Canada, but refugees do not have that opportunity unless the government do something about them and help them start anew…
Samira Shackle suggests that the Syrian refugee crisis is not only happening in Turkey but also around the European Union. Many of these countries are closing down their border in order to avoid the immigration of refugees. It has been estimated that roughly around 2.6 million people have fled war torn Syria and even though most of them make it to Jordan and Turkey, a…
When I came to Australia I had to leave behind my mother and two brothers, they are still in the refugee camp in Chad, neighbouring Sudan, where I spent 14 months before my papers were finalized to come to Australia. My family and I had been forced into the refugee camp in February 2004 when my father was killed by pro-government Arab militia, called the Janjaweed, who were carrying out massacres against black Muslims in my home of Darfur in western Sudan. They called these killings “ethnic cleansings”. We, at least, were lucky enough to escape to a refugee camp in bordering Chad. Conditions in the camps were terrible. Far from being safe in the camps, I watched as people around me died of fevers, wound infection, starvation and malaria. There…
As most of us know, recently there was an attack at Paris by a popular group of terrorist known as Isis, although this is not their first attack, whether or not refugees are to be accepted into the U.S. has brought more attention. ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and they are a group of religious extremist and their main goal is to create a group of Muslims who will all follow their extremist beliefs. The problem with that is that now many Muslims are being shamed because of this group, even if all theses other poor people may have nothing to do with ISIS, they are being dragged into their problems, Now many other states are refusing to let thousands of innocent refugees into their land for the sake…
A refugee is a person who leaves his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution because of his or her race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a particular social group. Once a host country accepts an asylum seeker to become a refugee, the host county has a moral obligation to ease the transition from a refugee to a fully participating citizen. This may include subsidized housing, job training, and other financial and social services. This is good for the incoming refugee and good for the economy of the host country. Refugees deserve to be supported financially.…
An example both positive and negative (all dependent on how one looks at is) is the Europeans that came to America when they were facing a form of oppression as well… that also killed a lot of Native Americans, BUT! America is the way it is today because of this turning point in the past. For those who made the journey over will more than likely express the joy and also the ease of mind one has due to the opportunity to leave and start all over. However, many seem to forget this when it comes to the Syrian refugees because of stereotyping from just a few bad…
