In Syria, there is a Civil War going on, which has been extremely deadly since 2011. Innocent Syrian lives are being impacted and the country is essentially in ruins. To help provide Syrians with a better life, many countries are taking in refugees from Syria. The more developed, western countries are best suited to take in refugees. Recently, differences in political views have provided strong views on whether or not this process should be continued, expanded, or discontinued altogether. This is
Syria is in a state of turmoil and we must help the Syrian people. The civil war in Syria has destroyed the country. More than 250,000 Syrians have died and 11 million have been displaced from their homes. When one looks at the pictures of Syria, one looks at pictures of rubble. Houses have been destroyed, rubble and graffiti is everywhere, and the country is in a state of poverty. Yes, America has plenty of its own issues, whether it be gun violence, police violence, and our economy, and I do think
benefits of accepting refugees is economic, the need of humanitarian response plays an important role in economic growth. Also, the Syrian refugees can benefit societies. Because of the increasing conflicts in the Syria, and ban of the Syrian refugees will result in zero population in Syria in coming years. And, this is not the only reason to accept the Syrian refugees. There are some other reasons too like to allows children to gain the education, to remove people’s fears from their mind, and to give
people. They also think we are one of the most powerful nations. If we are, why do we just stand back and wait for the Islamic State to turn Syria into a battlefield, killing millions in the process. Why do we let the innocent Syrians see this bloody war. We need to protect these people and take action. We know one thing. Because of the civil war in Syria, the whole country has become a wasteland and a battlefield.
Syrians are Human Beings: Why America should and will accept Syrian Refugees In september 2015 the world woke up to the crisis in Syria. The cyber community played a major role in this turning point, as images of a deceased five year old boy were plastered all over the internet. The startling image of the boy later identified as, Aylan Kurdi coerced the masses to question how this could happen and what could've been done to avoid it (Micallef, 2015). However while this image and others like

The revolution and civil war in Syria has led to one of the most severe humanitarian crisis in history. There are currently over 4,390,000 registered Syrian refugees along with hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers in a range of countries from the Middle East such as Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan to Europe and the US
government didn’t just take away freedom from people, they took away fathers from kids. They took families away from their homes, they took away life, hope, and safety from millions of their own people. A 105 year old man who spent his whole life in Syria says “The crisis is getting worse and worse”. As far as I can see, nothing will stop it anytime
The Syrian Refugees Need Our Help There is a crisis going on the other side of the world. Syria is in the middle of a war with four factions fighting for control. This fighting leaves millions of people in unsafe conditions, fleeing for their lives. The world has been in a debate over who should help them and take them in. The United States is one of those nations divided over this decision. Fear has left many demanding that we not offer asylum. This fear is unfounded and based on misinformation
“No one puts their children on a boat unless the water is safer than the land”, Warsan Shire, ‘Home’. As you may be aware, Syria has been at war for the past six years. Consequently, the number of refugees is continuously increasing, however the refugees are receiving minimal support compared to how much support they need. According to the UN “refugees are people fleeing conflict or persecution. They are defined and protected in international law, and must not be expelled or returned to situations

Perhaps not, but this idyllic setting steeped in history and culture, is home to Syrians. Few people would conjure up images of a civil war so horrific the world has taken notice and caused Canadians to mobilize to bring Syrians to Canada. A Canadian choice, that some would argue, should not have been
Why, then, is there such an outcry over accepting refugees from places like Syria? Syrian civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Half the country’s pre war population, more than eleven million people have been killed or forced to flee their country.Families are struggling to survive inside Syria, or make a new home in neighboring countries. “How many Americans today would think it right to send the slaves back to the plantation, the Jews back to Europe, the infant Superman back into
As Imelda Marcos once said, “Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of a family, country, justice and human dignity”. Throughout history, Syrian refugees have been persecuted and severely affected by the war. It is evident that they should get a chance to start over in this world. Numerous countries have fought against welcoming the poor refugees into their countries, as they also branded them with names like terrorists and extremists for assuming
The Iraqi and Syrian civil wars began in 2014 and 2011 with the advance of jihadist militants groups through Syria and Iraq, who, in conveying their ideology and agendas within both countries, have destroyed important cultural heritage sites and collection. This essay will look at the roles played by antiquities in war zones, looking at specific examples from Syria and Iraq, and the responsibilities of archaeologists in these situations. During the Iraqi and Syrian civil wars, many important cultural
Almost a million people have already emigrated from Syria and Latin America this year. Emigration, the migration out of a place, in Syria and Latin America is comparable, yet has some distinct similarities. When speaking about emigration in these regions, consider push and pull factors, migrant acceptance, and nature. Push factors, or forces that induces people to move out of their present location, are classified into three categories: economic, cultural, and environmental. While Syrians are migrating
though numerous, are manageable.” The Syrian refugee crisis isn’t a crisis if we don’t let it be one. Just until the conflicts in the Middle East settle down, these people will need a place to stay. We must realize that right now, we are writing history. We mustn’t make future generations ashamed when they look at the past and realize how their country turned their backs to the people in need. In the end, we are just one species. It is only right to help the people in need, seeing that we are capable
The melting pot, America has always been identified as a nation of immigrants and diversity. It stems back to ancient days when the first American settlers arrived across the Bering Sea in the Northern part of the country. Immigration in America spiked in the 1500s, once many European countries discovered the new land; the foreign nations established settlements and continued to colonize the vast new country. Seeking refuge due to oppression was the main cause of immigration to America. The most
It was October 6, 1973. I recall it well. It was Yom Kippur; the Day of Atonement when Jews neither eat nor drink but spend the day in prayer. That is the day our enemies attacked. We were surprised on two fronts; Syria attacked in the north and Egypt in the south. Iraq and Jordan sent in troops. Smaller contingents and aid arrived from Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Pakistan, as well as Arabs living in Israel itself. The attack was overwhelming. Once again we were outmanned and
In 2011, antigovernment protests began in Syria and soon escalated into a civil war. Over the course of the past six years fighting in Syria has intensified sending approximately 11 million people seeking refuge in neighboring countries. As Syrians seek safety they flee to Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and Jordan who now struggle to support the overwhelming number of refugees. As these countries and refugees look for assistance, the United States is faced with the question of what to do. Along with
ceremony and said, “It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people… And there weren’t any Numberg trials.” For being one of the largest genocides in history, many people have little knowledge and/or awareness of the Armenian Genocide and of those that do, only a handful will admit to the killings as genocide. The mass killing of the Armenian population should be considered genocide because of the cruelty
All over the world there are people running from oppressive and dangerous places. A brutal civil war has been raging in Syria since 2011. Fighting between various armed forces and ethnic groups in Burma over the last several years has displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians. The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo is trying to undemocratically remain in power. These are only a few examples of the tragedies that cause civilians to lose homes, families, and lives. Worldwide there are
