Essays on Refugees

With the recent increase in global warfare, there has been an influx of refugees throughout the world. The immigrant opts to seek a safe heaven in the European countries, however; the Europeans are angered by the increase of immigrants. It is worth noting that, the issue of refugee was the one of the factors that facilitated Britain to leave the European Union. There are two prevalent schools of thoughts with regards to the increase in the number of refugees. According to the liberalists they uphold the asylum principle and still hold onto the fallacy that a boarderless world can ...

On January 27 Donald Trump has signed the executive order about the restriction of entry of refugees into the USA. According to the order, reception of all refugees stops for four months.

The word culture has been commonly used in the current society. However, it is worth noting its true definition. Biagetti & Lugli (2014) asserts that if one made an inquiry of its meaning from anthropologists whose sole responsibility is studying culture, then it is common knowledge that he would receive a variety of answers from them. Despite the different definitions, most of them put emphasis on same aspects. For this discussion, therefore, the definition of culture will be given. Also, the article will provide its five primary characteristics, and the overview of the physical geography, military conflict and its impact ...

Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in 1933 by 1939 they had begun their quest to invade and rule all of Europe. During this time, unknown to the rest of Europe Hitler and the Nazis were also implementing their “final solution” which was the systematic execution of Jews and any others that they deemed not suitable to exist in the ideal society that Hitler had been selling to the German people through his speeches and propaganda (Kershaw, 2008, pgs. 36-43). Once the Allied forces defeated the Nazi forces and Hitler escaped his judicial fate by committing suicide. ...

In this essay, we will explore the background of the global refugee crisis and the response to it by developed nations, focusing on the vital role they play in providing aid and resettlement opportunities.

By analyzing their role in providing aid and resettlement, we can gain insights into their impact and identify potential ...

The world today is seeing more immigration than ever before, both legal and illegal. While countries forging solid links with one another in the vein of the European Union (hereafter referred to as EU for brevity) has encouraged legal immigration of all kinds, while war and deprivation in various other parts of the world has led to a burgeoning refugee crisis, with more people entering Western countries than can be adequately or carefully handled at any one time. These forms of immigration can be seen as quite different to each other at face value; however, when looked at in ...

Margaret Nagle’s “The Good Lie” focuses on the experiences of a group of Sudanese refugees, namely Mamere (Arnold Oceng), Paul (Emmanuel Jar), Jeremiah (Ger Duany) and Abital (Kuoth Wiel) as they try to adapt to life in the United States of America. The film is extremely interesting because it is divided in 2 parts, the first part tracking the characters’ childhood struggle for survival during the Second Sudanese Civil War, and life in the Refugee Camp, while the second part focuses on the problems of adapting to an entirely new culture, with different values and worldview. The strong ...

Qualitative Research

Brief Description The interview was conducted among two people on the topic “Interpretation of the migration crisis”, which turned to be quite challenging due to the sensitiveness of the topic. First of all, it was problematic to find participants, as the majority thought that the answers may affect their social or professional life, even though I made it clear that the participation is anonymous. Secondly, one of the respondents refused to continue answering the questions in the middle of the interview without explaining the reasons. However, as this option was discussed before the interview, it did not affect the ...

Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

Such unfavorable situation can be easily noticed, for instance, in Chechnya, which has suffered two bloody conflicts in the past two decades, resulting in more than 10,000 civilian deaths, moreover, the region is still rebuilding after a period characterized by widespread violence, family separation and loss, and massive population displacement (Betancourt, 2008, n.p.). In order to perform one’s duty of active, open-minded and conscious citizen, it is efficient to take part in some charity organisations. Being interested in the struggle in Chechnya, I participate in a refugee relief organization, one of direcrtions of the work of which ...

Thesis: The role of U.S. military has become the primary force which opposes terrorism by capturing and/or eliminating terrorists as is exemplified by two raids that were conducted in Tripoli and Somali (Starr, Perez, & Botelho, 2013). These two instances also illustrate how the United States views itself as the one who should decide what to do with terrorists once they are captured as they took the terrorists without discussing it with the Libyan government giving the rest of the world the impression that the US believes they are superior.

Howard Zinn was a successful historian of the twentieth century. He was unusual in that he shifted the historical paradigm away from the norm – instead of mainly talking about white males, who had been the focus of history up to that point due to the power structure of the times, he focused instead on the stories less told; the roads less travelled. The book You Can’t be Neutral on a Moving Train tracks his own journey through history by means of reflecting on how he himself sees history; not necessarily his own history, but history as a whole.

What are Zinn’s Ideas About how History Should be Portrayed?

The issue of moral panic is absolutely something that plagues the culture surrounding the contemporary criminal justice system. Judging from the ‘Superpredator’ scare of the 1990s, in which the media and criminal justice systems combined to create a moral panic over violent youth (often black) in the inner city, moral panics unfairly agitate the populace into making harsh decisions to address epidemics that may or may not truly exist to the extent they are being portrayed. While the video points out that the height of the super-predator scare has long past, its effects are still seen in things like ...

Chapter 6: high velocity transcortical lead therapy

Hmong in America present challenges in the handling of cross-cultural medicine. At the Merced Community Medical Center (MCMC) the Hmong immigrants feel that their cultural practices and beliefs, such as women exposing themselves to doctors during medical examinations, are not right but they feel obliged by the local systems. There is a legal implication on the rights of patients in dealing with doctors since the doctors seem to disregard the rights their patients have to select treatment. For instance the issue of the lady who had blisters in her mouth and instead ...

Issue and Solutions for Various Minority Groups in South Asia

Introduction The term “South Asia” is given to the nations occupying the southern section of the Asian continent. This area is dominated by the region of the Indian Plate, to include the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka (United Nations Statistics Division: Composition of Macro Geographical Regions, Geographical Sub-Regions, and Selected Economic and Other Groupings). South Asia’s population is said to be about one-fifth of the world’s total population, and thus it is known to be the most densely populated geographical region in the world (South Asian Regional Gateway: South Asia ...

This paper answers two fundamental questions in two sections. They will cover aspects of the AAS course and provide an insight into relevant issues and matters relating to the Asian American community and history.

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons. First of all, the history of the United States rising as a prosperous nation happened from the east coast. And for various reasons, the first colonies created in the 1600s were made up almost exclusively of migrants from the British Isles. However, as time went on, the colonies expanded ...

Terrorism is one of the most terrifying and perpetual threats that Americans and people all across the globe must contend with in the modern era. There are international terrorist threats, as well as, domestic ones, as seen in Dallas, Texas, this last week. However the bulk of terrorism stems from the Middle East. It was 9/11 that showed people just how organized and well-planned terrorist attacks could happen on a grand scale; the organization Al-Qaeda proudly took credit for this tragedy. Presently the threat has new name, ISIS, these vicious and violent Islamic Extremists who have attempted to intimidate ...

The Walden’s Social Change Quiz classifies me as a socially conscious consumer. Precisely, an individual who is focused on protecting the environment and enforcing social justice (Walden University, 2016).

According to the World Bank , population density is a measure of the numbers of persons permanently settled in a region, divided by the total land area of the region in square kilometres or square miles. This formula excludes refugees who are not permanently settled and who are still considered part of the population of their native country. The formula also excludes from the measurement of land area, any inland water bodies such as rivers and lakes and the area of the continental shelf. This formula can be used to measure the population density of a region, a state, a ...

The purpose of this paper is to outline a six-week program intended to deliver a basic heart health education program to adult Syrian Refugees. A well-delivered health education program supports preventive medicine, reduces health care costs, and helps save lives (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.) . The reason for choosing Syrian refugees is because at this point in time, they represent a vulnerable population (Strong, Varady, Chahda, Doocy, & Burnham, 2015). As a group they have been under the stress of civil war for at least five years and are likely to have been displaced internally or externally. ...

This paper focuses on an article that provides a detailed account of suffering that North Koreans underwent through the rule of Kim- Jong- il and his current predecessor Kim- Jong- un through the eyes of the Myth of Sisyphus, a compilation of essays by Albert Camus. I chose the article by Tom Phillips about a refugee who escaped the inhumanity in North Korea because refugees are some of the people who face great alienation.

The paper will examine the local and international media, which have played a crucial role in the Rwanda genocide. Local print and radio fueled the killings, while the international media did not take the news seriously and misconstrued events on the ground or even ignored the local reporting.

It can be stated that the western media, such as CNN, BBC, The New York Times did not maintain the ...

The cold war marked a period of political tensions between numerous countries after the end of t the Second World War. These tensions were mainly between the communist nations and the capitalist countries. The most opposing parties within this conflict were the USA and the now defunct USSR.

The Cuban crisis arose from a confrontation between the Soviet Republic and ...

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting and move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

Contrast the journey to America described by Richard Whyte coming to America from Ireland, with Richard Duden's description of the Midwest as he travels around the countryside in the 1820s seeking to persuade German immigrants to make the trip to lands far richer than anything they can expect to possess back in the homeland. Is one more "right" than the other in his presentation? Both Richard Whyte and Richard Duden pioneered efforts to inhabit America. Richard Whyte’s journey gave hope to many Irish people resulting in waves of immigrants from the country in the United States. The journey ...

Immigration to Europe started after World War 2 and the rate continued to increase over the years into the 20th century up to date (" Debating Europe"). Western Europe experienced quite a significant percentage of immigration, especially after the World War 2.

Nowadays the Internet is full of memes that became newly designed media tools. At the moment, our society is just beginning to truly interpret the real concept of memes. Susan Blackmore in her article “The Power of Memes” gives the definition of them: “Memes are stories, songs, habits, skills, inventions and ways of doing things that we copy from person to person by imitation.” (Blackmore, 52) They gradually burst into our life as funny pictures, jokes, funny videos and phrases, but their purpose is much more global. An unknown person, who created a meme of a good quality and ...

At least 9 million people die because of hunger and malnutrition, sadly 5 million are children. In a world of plenty, a huge number go hungry.

Events that led to the influx of refugees in Turkey

The Arab Spring that was experienced in African countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, inspired the protest against President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s government in March 2011. The government, in response, sent its forces to contain the protest, and as a result, Syria plunged into civil war (Carpenter 2). As the war continued, alliances, mini-alliances and shifts took place throughout the region, and this led to a complex situation as the war developed dimensions involving Islamic extremists, Assad’s government, rebel groups and ethnic groups. In July 2011, defectors from the Syrian army organized a Free Syrian Army and ...

One of the current and global issue of our time is the refugee crisis. There are thousands of desperate refugees who wanted to flee from the unbearable conflict and bloodshed in their countries, and are knocking on the doors of other more developed and peaceful nations. The question is, how far and to what extent should other countries extend support to refugees? The 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol, which is the international refugee law provided that, “refugees deserve, as a minimum, the same standards of treatment enjoyed by other foreign nationals in a given country and, in ...

Genocide, which can be defined as the action intended to eliminate certain national, ethnic, religious, or racial group, is regarded to be one of the cruelest and most inhumane acts performed by people.

Apparently, events that take place during genocides have incredibly painful effects on human beings and bring about variety types of suffering. It is particularly significant for the people to remember about horrible acts of genocide. The social institution which is capable to help ...

Global issue: Food insecurity

Today, the world suffers from numerous issues; from the security of life and property to the security of food and water.

Choosing the director for the movie, Prince did not hesitate for too long. He called Mohy Quandour, who was living in London, known as many-sided ...

Human nature can be depicted as being inherently connected and communal. This means that although most of the occurrences are deemed inhumane, usually the level of depiction of love is still greater. Human beings throughout history have influenced and participated in events that could be looked at as inhumane. Wars, torture, and acts of violence amongst differing groups are some of the occurrences that depict the dark and selfish side of human being. The general perspective of most scholars depicts human beings as destructive creatures. Often, people are of the mentality that disasters and catastrophes tend to bring out ...

Nationalism is a significant transitional power in the annals of history. Though the concept of loyalty is generally believed to be of a more contemporary vintage, theories as to the actual origins and the development of nationalism as a concept abound. Allegiance in the Arab world and the Palestinians in particular, have remained unexamined not due to lack of significance, but due to deliberate omission. Those who hold that nationalism comes about as a natural sociological process cannot sufficiently expound the segregation of the United States and Britain or the union of the English and French quarters ...
