“Security at UAE border crossings reviewed”

The article relates to population and migration because recently, the UAE government has decided to slightly mitigate its border policies. These strict border policies, in the government’s opinion, have allowed for much economic growth, stability, and safety. The temporary travelers passing through the United Arab Emirates will undergo different processes for their journeys. The country, however, will continue to maintain its strict immigration policies in hopes of keeping it safe.
The article is very memorable because it deals with an Arab nation that most Americans are less likely to know. Many a person has no idea that this economically booming nation has

Though these forced immigrants have registered with the United Nations, many more may exist. Approximately a third of the money donated to the United Nations by people around the world has been given to the Syria. However, this money does not aid the situation as much as the U.N. Would like. There has also been forced internal migration. Researchers have guessed that this number is around 1.2 million. As the violence increases, so will the number of refugees.
I found this article interesting because it really enlightened me about the severity of the Syria crisis. I assumed that there were refugees, but I didn’t realize that that many were leaving their homes involuntarily. It also intrigued me that these refugees were fleeing to Middle Eastern countries. I had never heard about Middle Eastern refugees before, except in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.

It’s interesting to me that consumers continue to buy from the Brazilian industries although they are not in the greatest conditions. I’m very interested to see if Brazil will quickly make it to Stage Four of the Demographic Transition Model. I wonder if Brazil will ever become an economically thriving core.

“Coke: Advancing women will boost the bottom line”

Coke has a launched a program that will hopefully train and hire five million underprivileged women by 2020. Coke believes that women are more beneficial than men, in terms of economic success. If women can be educated and put into the work force, many countries will be more able to thrive. Not only could this female revolution improve nutrition and living, but also it could boost the GDP for both genders. With this innovation, women will receive more value and nations will receive more growth.
I found this approach to be bizarre, but nonetheless amazing. To me, it has been almost unheard of that a corporate business would invest in sponsoring females. It’s a creative way to take on an economic crisis. Maybe more American businesses would even consider doing such a program just for the benefit of the economy. This, however, could take away the more altruistic mood of the process.

    Many of them have believed that United States has a responsibility to come and reach out everyone's hand when they are in need for help. There is a chance that everyone who was aided by US, will never harm back in return, and simply give back US with gratefulness and happiness, instead. The reasoning is backed up as Berman said, "As US officials and refugees point out that [refugees' terrorism] has never happened in modern history. Not when US took tens of thousands of Vietnamese refugees in 1970s. Not even 125,000 Cuban "Marielitos" arrived by boat in 1980. And not in the desperate aftermath of more recent was in Bosnia, Somalia, or Rwanda," (Berman 16-19), in "Can Terrorists Infiltrate the Syrian Refugee Program?" In other words, Syrians are no different from other previous refugees, escaping from their worlds of torture and cruelty, and prayed for the safety and peace, just like Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees with their genocide situation in their homes from the past. The refugees does not want to cause any harm, simply because they understand what is like to be the victims from the harm that is caused by others. Americans should bring in the Syrian refugees in with open arms, with comfort and sense of security for them by accepting them for their differences such as the practice of religion, color, and so on. The Syrians will be forever thankful for the selfless actions Americans have done for them in the land where majority of Muslims are grateful for religious…

    The Syrian crisis began in early 2011 when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began a brutal crackdown on growing peaceful protests throughout the country. With the use of tanks, attack helicopters, and artillery against protesters and the torture and execution of children, protests spread and opposition groups took up arms. The attacks and counter-attacks escalated into a full-fledged civil war between the Assad regime with allied militias and an array of opposition groups. The death toll has now reached over 100,000, according the United Nations, and over 6 million people have been internally displaced or fled to other countries, half of them children. The crisis has now grown to a regional crisis with severe implications for global peace and security. Regional powers are supplying weapons and other support to both sides, with Iran notably backing the Assad regime and Gulf States providing arms to the opposition. Sectarian violence related to the conflict has been seen in Lebanon and Iraq and millions of refugees have fled into neighboring countries. Appeals for international aid have increased as the UN refugee agency in September 2013 estimated that over 2 million Syrians were now refugees, up from around 230,000 just one year before. On August 21, 2013, the crisis took on a dangerous new dimension with a chemical weapons attack by the Syrian regime that killed over 1,400 people, according to a U.S. intelligence report. The debate over how to respond to the attacks has deeply divided the international community and continues to play out as the United States appears ready to carry out limited missile attacks. The brutal response led to further non-violent demonstrations, helping to transform and diffuse local grievance. We have to watch for these things to insure this doesn’t happen again: Effects on civilians of any response and counter-response to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime and Escalation of the violence on the ground and sectarian…

    These demonstrations were violently suppressed by governmental forces. Opposition supporters eventually began to arm themselves, for defense, then for offensive. The conflict’s complexity grew as more regional and world powers have been drawn in. The rise of ISIS has also created a new dynamic to the conflict. As of early November 2016, around 11 million Syrians have been displaced from their homes. 6.6 million of that number are displaced internally, while 4.8 million have fled to neighboring countries in the Middle East. An additional 1 million have requested asylum in Europe. The United Nations Refugee Agency, UNHCR, coordinates efforts with Syria’s neighboring countries to support the 4.8 million refugees within the Middle East. As of October 2016, UNHCR has only received 54% of the required funding needed to operate the refugee camps in the region. The United States, under the Obama administration, has promised to accept 10,000 refugees by the end of the 2016 fiscal…

    First of all, the sudden overflow of refugees coming into other countries of the Middle East is uncontrollable. They have to all feed, give homes, and make sure they are healthy so that they do not die, which would mainly be a problem for the inhabitants of the country themselves. The resources slowly start to decrease and slowly die of hunger or sicknesses. It is possible that the same amount of refugees have died when being attacked when also dying of famine and sicknesses. Another issue about countries letting refugees in, is that Israel might come attack those countries because they want to avenge the Palestinians because they…

    Families are split up because of the war, like the case of eleven year old Udai in Syria who lost his parents to the war, and was on his own with his siblings living with relatives. The Article by World Vision titled “Forced to Flee” talks about how, “Udai and his siblings are among more than 11.1 million Syrians who have been forced to flee their homes because of the war. Most — about 6.3 million people — remain displaced within Syria. The U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR) had registered almost 4.9 million refugees — people who have fled to other countries…” We should help the refugees by providing aid to them in Syria, and welcoming them when they get here to the…

    The Turkish Government has spent over $300 million providing for refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria [1]. As a neighboring country with important links to Syria through culture and religion alongside being a democratic country that recognizes international laws regarding refugees, Turkey has an obligation to continue to admit civilians from Syria into its southern provinces. By analyzing Turkey’s political ideals, its adherence to international laws and its ties to Syria and the Islamic world, I emphasize the Government’s duty towards addressing the refugee crisis above any other related issue (as will be further discussed) in this report.…

    Migration has been in existence since humans appeared in the world. However our forbearers had different purposes for moving from one location to another than the contemporary humans. Their reasons for leaving a territory were changing climate or infertile soil1. The motivational factors for modern migration differ from that. They are in tight correspondence with globalization. Through this phenomenon there is greater global integration among countries, which created a more flexible flow of labour, therefore the opportunities for international migration highly increased and altered in form2. Globalization created a greater income gap between countries, therefore in poor states the situation can be really desperate, especially compared to the condition in the industrial, developed territories. People from impoverished states seek to escape their home and migrate to somewhere else and at the same time as a result of economic changes the labour market requires more forces. Since the development of the European Union, the migration in this continent increased. We can observe migration from Central and Eastern European Countries to the west part of the continent, but there is also migration from high and dry territories from all over the globe to Europe. There is also internal migration, which mostly means movement from the countryside to the town. This essay will explore the benefits and continuing challenges of immigration within Europe, regarding both internal migration as well as the increasing risks of non-European citizens into Europe states and societies.…

    This article talks about Syria and how tens of thousands of lives in Syria have been lost because of the conflict between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those who go against his rule. Due to this threat, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been moving across the county's borders and its leaving their own nation separated and torn apart. The crazy bombing, massacres and bombardment have been causing the refuges to escape to neighboring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. More than 700,000 Syrians that moved away, registered either with or receiving assistance from the UN. There has been many protests demanding President Bashar al-Assad's resignation, but Assad shows no signs of leaving his power therefore there appears to be no end in sight…
