I love living in my home country, the United States. I find it to be a welcoming country where I can pursue my passions and live a life of pure happiness. However, as I have grown older, I have started to see an aspect of the home I find troubling and toxic. The more I expose myself to politics, the more I see of a dangerous side of America: an America that is angry with anyone different from itself. Every day I see intolerance of other people on the news and in my daily life. I see people unwilling to accept any opinion other than their own. I see people angry with a person they do not know and who is only hated due to stereotypes placed upon them. I see my worst nightmare in my beloved country when we discuss about Syrian refugees. Of course, the first question that pops up when considering Syrian refugees is simple: why are these people fleeing their country? These refugees are fleeing their country after the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War. In March of 2011, Syria’s government and President …show more content…

Bringing diversity into school has a plethora of benefits. Children in diverse schools can have more opportunities to talk with kids of other backgrounds, allowing for a higher sense of commonality and perspective (Wasatch). Kids in more diverse schools were found to have “higher social self-confidence, higher educational satisfaction, and an increased sense of social responsibility and increased participation in community service endeavors” (Wasatch). Allowing Syrian refugees’ children as well into communities to partake in our education system would greatly benefit our kids. These refugees would enable kids to construct a sense of community with people different from themselves, producing a much safer world in which many more people were not afraid of someone due to background, ethnicity, or

Following conflicts in countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, the latest estimates say that 1 in 100 of the world’s population displaced, with a substantial amount of these people being refugees. Whether forced by war, poverty, or political reasons to leave their homelands, these refugees are looking to the West, particularly Europe and America, for shelter and are being reluctantly accepted. Here in America, historically and even today, majority of the native population has been against the idea of welcoming refugees (Connor and Krogstad). While majority of Americans have opposed the “Muslim ban,” that does not mean religion is not a reason why people would reject refugees. With nearly half of the refugees being self-reported Muslims and 62 percent of American citizens citing Islamic terrorism as the greatest problem the country faces, it would not be a stretch to say that those who oppose accepting refugees maybe fearful of refugees because of their religious beliefs (Bowman).

Douglas You may be able to see parallels from then to today in other countries but I fail to see how people sneaking into our country illegally and getting a job from a business in this country illegally has anything to do with slavery or labor laws. I would agree with you if we were rounding up immigrants and bringing them into our country and forcing them to work for cheap labor. That is not the case, immigrants are risking their lives and their families lives to come into The United States of America to escape the hell that they were living in and work for more money than they have ever made in their entire lives. I don't agree with companies hiring anyone that is in this country illegally and think the punishment for doing so should be

Results are discussed in terms of possible heuristics involved in judgements of an asylum-seeker population, as well as implications for vulnerable asylum seekers whose symptoms do not conform to stereotypes` . Talking about new recruits Juany states that they are not taught about refugee’s rights and options but techniques to identify the lies in asylum seekers narratives. He further says `that if you find inconsistencies you are less likely to believe and so to give them entry. Some people think that exaggerating makes the story more credible and in fact it is the opposite, because then they mix lies with truths and create inconsistencies’

In fact, when we proceeded with our work, we found that the most important social issue generated by alienated society is the public hypercorrection. Even though it is rude to become protective and hostile to alienated groups, the avoidance of forms of expression that are perceived to marginalized or insult people who are socially alienated generates more problems (Wikipedia “Political correctness”). The European migrant crisis or European refugee crisis began in 2015. An increasing number of refugees traveled to EU, across the Mediterranean Sea or through Southeast Europe. Despite the fact that people fear of their swarming, in order to be humanistic and politically correct, the government gave permission to the refugees.

The father, Abdullah Kurdi of the three-year-old boy whose body was washed up on the beach in Turkey, blames Canada for his son’s unnecessary death due to his unaccepted application for asylum (The Canadian Press 2015). The new Liberal government has stated that Canada will be bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees by February of this year (Government of Canada 2016), however, through a survey asking what Canadian’s thought about the government’s plans, a large majority (54%) opposed this, in particular due to the fast tracking of applications in concern for safety and security (Angus Reid Institute 2015). It is evident there is contrasting views between the government and the citizens; perhaps it is due to a tense decade of economic downfall and

Given the increasing recruitment for terrorist organizations and the genocide occurring in Syria, the question as to how Canada can help is being thoroughly debated. Justin Trudeau came into power with firm beliefs regarding how to best help the Syrian refugee crisis occurring overseas. “He said if elected, the Liberals would bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada.” (http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/09/05/ndp-and-liberals-call-for-canada-to-accept-more-syrian-refugees.html) Trudeau’s nonmilitary approach demonstrates his absolute desire to do what is best for the refugees in Syria. This being said, the Liberal government has faced significant legal, financial, and social struggles.

Immigration Issues There is many differences between the issues of Syrian immigration and the immigration of Latino’s in the U.S. First of all, the issues with the Syrian immigrants are way different than the immigration issues with the Latino’s. For example, Syrian people are fleeing their hometown because of a war. The war started in March of 2011, in part of the Arab Spring. Thousands of Syrians fled their country every day.

Fundamentally, this country has a problem and everyone knows it. Some choose to ignore it while others make it their life’s purpose. It has torn down families and friendships, caused innumerable dysfunctions both big and small, and confused the minds of the citizens of this country for centuries. It affects any and every one in this country in some way, shape, or form. While this problem manifests itself in various ways, its core principles remain the same: hatred, dehumanization, separation, confusion, and dysfunction to name a few.
