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 ...

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).

Since its very inception, the Syrian conflict has become a threat not only for the local residents and neighboring countries, but also for the whole world. The IS militants crossed all limits in their radical methods of waging war against a number of Syrian and Iraqi peoples; moreover, "the Islamic State’s rise has shaped the battlefield in Iraq and Syria, as well as shifting alliances between the United States and countries in the region" (Phillips 351).

The article dated 25th January 2016 on The Cairo Review of Global Affairs by Nabeel Khoury talks about the Syrian peace negotiation efforts fronted by the United Nations. Khoury gives reasons why the peace talks are destined to fail based on the current situations in Syria. Among the reasons is the continued offensive by the Assad’s regime with support from Russia airstrikes and Iranian forces. Lack of unity and coordination of strategies within rebel forces also complicate the negotiations. Besides, the US and Russia are almost always at loggerheads. Observing the current situation in Syria, it is right ...

The Russia-US agreement on the Syrian ceasefire has brought up several issues that remain unaddressed. The idea encompasses a great vision for the Middle East but it needs to be developed further and become the foundation of conflict settlement (Almonitor 1). The cessation of hostilities faces many obstacles such as: identifying the terrorist groups in Syria, areas where they should attack and whether Russia and US can control their proxies. Moscow suggests that Kurds should be a part of the Geneva peace talks. The Syrian opposition is in agreement with the idea while Ankara understandably opposes the idea. The ...

An unknown person, who created a meme of a good quality and ...

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 ...

The western intervention into the Middle East is one that has been seen to cause an unending debate of whether the move is of great help to the region or a source of problems. Many will agree with the statement that western intervention, or westernization for that manner, though showing countless evidences of force and spite, has in its process brought many positive changes and been hugely beneficial in a manner that without it, the Middle East would never have been where it is today. However, there are many who still have the belief that the countries would have ...

Introduction

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 ...

Military campaign in Syria, which Russia started in the end of September of 2015, naturally raised issues related to the goals of Russia in this conflict. Despite the fact that it was known earlier about Russian assistance to the government of Bashar al-Assad — it took many by surprise that Russians openly joined the war in Syria. Russia officially announced that its aim in Syria is to create an international coalition to combat the ISIL terrorist group. In practice, Russia has nevertheless focused on the attack on other armed rebel groups. This focus helped to ensure the sustainability of the ...

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 ...

In his book “Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq”, Stephen Kinzer examines the various overthrows the government of the United States has undertaken since 1893. According to Kinzer, the invasion of Iraq was not an isolated case. It was just a continuation of the list of very countries America has invaded and aided its overthrow. Kinzer examined 14 overthrows that the U.S government has been involved in the last 110 years (Kinzer 8). According to him, the intension of most of the overthrows are not what the government tells the public, both the American citizens ...

In presenting the news in an ethical manner, empirical evidence becomes a vital element. The profession of photojournalism is an integral part of the field of journalism, which responds to this demand for empirical evidence through its very nature. It is not only responsible for bringing important moral issues to light but, in a time where secrecy and covert deeds have taken precedence over openness, it provides a level of perspective regarding the events that occur throughout the world. In assessing the perspectives of professionals in the field as well as various other thinkers and experts it becomes evident ...

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 ...

The modern world is divided into two major geopolitical axes concentrated around the Middle East. One of the axes consists of the countries that resist to Israel (Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Russia, China, Iran, Palestine), and the other one includes its supporters (the USA, Saudi Arabia, France, UK, Egypt, Turkey). The aim of this paper is to analyze the reasons that divided the two geopolitical axes and united each of them at the local, regional, and international levels in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lybia, and Palestine-Israel wars. Palestine-Israel conflict has a long story. After the end of the Shah monarchy in ...

General Context

The outbreak of the civil war in Syria in March 2011 resulted in the migration of an estimated 9 million Syrians who fled from their homes and sought refuge within their country and in neighboring countries.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 1999 founded the Jamāʻat al-Tawḥīd wa-al-Jihād which is the present day ISIL.

GROUP DISPLACEMENT ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST

Latest decades have seen an alarming growth on involuntary displacements of populations due to a wide set of reasons. In the Arab World, most literature has agreed upon focusing towards population movement caused by political conflicts that led to war. The extent of this phenomenon becomes evident after realizing its scope: Syrians, Palestinians, Lebanese and Egyptians have been the target of displacement caused by wars fought by the Arab and Israeli. It’s important not to look at this phenomenon as a mere isolated event, but more of a process that keeps developing. More recently, the occupation of parts ...

Assignment

The United Nations (UN) is an organization that prides itself on the discussion of important topics related to world peace, security, development and others but accomplishes, essentially, nothing. The history of the United Nations as well as the actions of its Secretaries proves its ineffectiveness, and demonstrates that the organization occasionally engages in biased decision-making. This, in return, has made the general public lose their trust in the US. In consideration, I would demand the United Nations Secretary General, currently Ban Ki-moon, to guide the UN in the regaining of peoples’ trust, which I am aware requires time, significant ...

Wars and conflicts with countries and even between two or more of them could bring a lot of death, strife and hunger and many families suffer the least ideal consequences imaginable from the resulting outcomes. Apart from the obvious and the greatest loss, there is one more predicament, the impacts of which last over longer time periods and that is the problem of the people who have become displaced. We can call them refugees when they flee their country, and the same group of people becomes Internally Displaced Persons if they do not cross the borders of their country. ...

Problem Statement and Recommendations

The growing influx of Mid-East refugees into Europe, particularly in last five years, cannot be overemphasized. The mass uprisings, civil wars and political persecution are leading causes for current refugee crisis. The path made by refugees into Europe's heart is, if anything, a major logistical issue, apparently minor but is at core of current refugee crisis. As Mid-East asylum seekers and refugees continue to pour into European countries and across borders, European security is at stake at multiple levels. First, "source" countries – i.e. countries at Europe's southern borders at which refugees first set foot from countries of origin – pose ...

One of the wars that have the highest impact on its residents, the surrounding countries and to the global security is the civil war in Syria. The war started in 2011 and it still lasts. Millions of people have fled their homes and Turkey and European Union confront with millions of refugees.

After the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, France expanded its air strikes in Syria and UK also launched its air campaign as the Islamic state took the responsibility for the attack.

The continued attacks on European cities by terrorists have however thrown the refugee problem into a whole new dimension. Attacks such as those experienced in Brussels and Paris heavily ...

Nationalism is defined as the devotion that a particular person has towards his country. It is widely described as a sense of belonging that many people feel important. This sense of belonging allows the person to put primary interest to the nation.

Arab nationalism is the state that arose among the Arab-speaking nations which felt the necessary urge to unite ...

(Institution Name) It is emphasized by the global peacekeeping organizations that countries resolve their conflicts through table talk and that they should refrain from carrying out full on offense against each other.

There is a huge discrepancy connecting the traditional literature and the modern literature. The classical literature is marked by a specific format and definitions. Most of the classical literature work often adhere to a specific format incorporating rhythms and meters. In the ancient writing, for instance in the Greek literature, most of the Greek writers spoke about the motivational forces like they were separate entities which were not part of their personal consciousness. Human motivation is often the major raw material in literature, both modern and ancient. The human literature criteria have evolved from being about humans as the ...

Question 1 In the mid 19th century, after the Second World War, Jews in the Arab countries faced the gravest ever case of human rights violation. The Arab regimes in the Middle East and northern part of Africa forced Jews to leave their homes or be held like political hostages. The Arabs came up with official statements that completely subordinated the Jews and threatened their civil, political, economic, and human rights. These actions contradicted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Part II and Article2.1 of the covenant states that “each state party to the present ...
