Introduction
Currently Europe is suffering from a big problem, the influx of refugees. Hundreds of thousands of people from the Middle Eastern countries have fled to Europe (BBC, 2015). These refugees flee from their countries in hope of creating a safe life, for themselves and their families. Democratic EU Nations are the ones doing a fair share, they provide food, first aid and shelters for them in an asylum center (BBC, 2015). This essay will be discussing the following statement “Only democratic states can solve global problems”. Furthermore, it will try to contradict the statement by giving examples of a global problem, which democratic states have been unable to solve. The issue that will be discussed in this paper whether democratic …show more content…

European countries are still suffering from the economic crisis, and still many Europeans are unemployed due to that. For a country to accept a “burden”, such as taking in refugees, affects the people in the country. This is due to the fact, that every country has its own traditions, norms, rules, judiciary, political systems, democracy etc. If refugees are unable to adapt to those, they are not welcome in that democratic state, and this is when problems occur. The following quote is that of the European commission’s president, explaining his belief with regard to the refugee issue. “Juncker said tackling the crisis was “a matter of humanity and human dignity. It is true that Europe cannot house all the misery in the world. But we have to put it into perspective” (Bajekal, …show more content…

Democratic states have failed at solving a global problem such as the refugee problem. As discussed in this paper, the solution that democratic states have to the refugee problem is only a temporary solution. Putting refugees into asylums is saving their lives, but it is not providing them with the means that a democratic country should. Limiting their opportunities at having equal rights such as other citizens of the country they flee to, is not what democracy stands for. In order to solve the issue of refugees, democratic countries should not only be taking them in, but should also be integrating them into the society of the country in a better way in order for them to be enjoying the same democratic rights as others of that

However, certain refugees seek asylum in more wealthy countries where they could possibly build a future. Denmark being one of the most prospering countries in Europe, this attitude directly affects Denmark. Refugees should remain refugees and the integration of refugees remains an issue within the European Union. Denmark should respect the EU policies regarding the freedom of movement of people, however, Denmark should recognize the draining effects refugees have on the country. Therefore I suggest that it is made clear to international institutions that peacekeeping troops are to promote a resolution to the refugee

The majority of this article is emotion appeals. The author draws the conclusion that the way the Republican leaders in the United States are responding to this refugee situation is a way of repeating history. The number inferences made between the current situation and the Holocaust pull at the audience’s emotions. The Holocaust is such an powerful part of history with extreme hate and tragedy that at the mere mention of the word “Holocaust” emotions are being affected. The author furthers this tug at emotions by mentioning the story of St. Louis, reminding the us that United States has turned away people in need before and forced them into a death by ignoring their need for help.

- “In Europe there are mixed opinions , some people are scared specifically of young men like you, who are travelling alone. There are a lot of people who say … you are coming to do problems in Europe, they are generally afraid of you,” Al Jazeera Journalist, Hoda Abdel-Hamid, asked a 27-year-old Iraqi refugee to response. - “I don’t think someone who travels all this way here, risking his own life, comes to cause problems.

‘In 2017 Will be Even Worse for Refugees and Migrants than 2016’ written by Kimberly Curtis is significant as it states that with the current political climate, and the fact that international displacement rates at an all-time high, refugees and migrants will have it harder in 2017 than they have ever had it before. It states that despite the World Humanitarian Summit it looks as though the current migration trends will not change (Curtis, 2017). This story is significant to international relations as it highlights the changes that America is looking to make towards refugees and migrants and it shows that although other countries may soon change government they will not necessarily follow in Donald Trump’s footsteps. Simply stating that several different key states will hold an election does not reinforce or highlight the idea that 2017 will be worse for refugees and migrants than past years. Yes, some political parties may campaign with policies that are harmful and dangerous towards refugees and migrants, but there is no guarantee they will win the elections.

Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

INTRODUCTION To start, it’s important to note that some people deny that we have moral obligations to needy non-citizens like refugees. For many, the state’s obligations are entirely towards its own citizens. If they acknowledge moral obligations to refugees, they are what philosophers call Good Samaritan obligations: obligations to help non-citizens only when the need is great. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE There are many cases in which countries have faced their own refugee crisis like when the US experienced its own refugee

Anthony J. D 'Angelo. One thing is very clear: these few countries doing their best to help refugees can’t manage the refugee issue on their own. We need global cooperation.
