...still has everybody on edge about refugees. Throughout the world a large portion of people are debating on whether or not to accept these people who have been torn from their homes. Several states are denying them for safety precautions. while others are taking them in. Syrian refugees could possible do more good than harm to the United States in many aspects such as overcoming cultural boundaries, defeating ISIS, and improving economics. Accepting Syrian refugees can cause Americans to be more accepting of the Muslim culture. The process of acculturation will occur in many refugees making their behavior resemble those of Americans but they may keep most of their culture and morals intact. According to To Assimilate or to Acculturate when this happens the refugees will began to “fit in” and others around them will began to accept their differences. “The chance of a being killed by a refugee terrorist in the US is one in 3.64 billion.” (The Independent) Once Americans can realize that they aren’t in any immediate danger by the Syrian...

The research report of International Medical Corps showed the mental health of Syrians located in refugee camps and in Syria are already suffering from disorders such as severe emotional, behavioral,...

...ash. This is what many Syrian refugees are facing in today's time. They want to be let into the U.S. to escape this terror, but they cannot be let in. This is also what many Jews were interfering to escape in the Holocaust by heading onto a ship named the St. Louis. They were also denied entry into many places because these places couldn't house them. The Syrian refugees and the Jews have many similarities and differences. One similarity is that both sides are fleeing their homes to seek hope and escape the devastation. The article, "Jews' Tale Plays Out Again, as Syrian Refugees Find Resistance to U.S. entry," states, "During World War 3, the U.S. put strict limits on refugees fleeing Europe. These limits were influenced by anti-Semitism, prejudice against the Jewish people." Moreover, this proves to the reader that when the Jews were trying to come into the U.S. but they said no because many people believed they wanted to do harm. The same thing is happening against the Syrians in today's world. One difference between the Jews and Syrians is that the Syrians are fleeing because their homes are now destroyed while the Jews...

...Syrian Refugees A controversy in the news that has sparked my interest lately are the Syrian refugees that are being admitted into the United States as well other countries. Throughout the internet posts, news channels, and strong differing views, I noticed I developed many opinions about the situation, and not positive one’s to say the least. I admit that some of my sympathy lacks for the refugees, due to the fact that I usually associate them with the terrible tragedies Isis has caused. Although the refugees need help, isn’t it an extreme risk bringing them into other countries? My biggest concern is America’s safety. After an intense, emotional, eye opening interview with our immigrant from Libya, I was forced to take a step back and recognize that maybe these individuals are just trying to find a better way of life, like Reem. I realized that I am guilty of making false generalizations and decided that...

However, some difficulties would be described as international problems based on their different culture, religion and language as to others in the world. Therefore these challenges on the Syrians could also build the negative connotation the Islamic nations are a dangerous stereotype to other countries, and order than language barriers, they probably have other challenges as being denying them homeless from internal crisis.

...Syrian Refugees; Why Canada Should Accept Them The sympathetic nervous system controls a function in your body known as the fight or flight response; associated with seeing a bear or being scared by a friend, the response then, within milliseconds, decides, whether or not to stay and fight, or run and escape the danger. We can see this on a global scale through current events today; imagine a place where democracy was stripped from one's hands, the government responded to peaceful protests with open firing and forcing millions out of their homes, would one's natural instinct be fight or flight? This is the complicated reality that many Syrians face, as they experience these tragedies in their civil war. Syrians who decide to flee rather than stay have unfortunately been extremely limited in their escape as many areas have restricted the number of refugees they will accept. The crisis calls upon great nations such as Canada to comfort the...

...The Syrian refugees are leaving their country to go to Denmark. In Denmark, the people forced refugees to give up valuables under proposed asylum law. This law is fair for these many reasons. The refugees get good benefits from Denmark. In other words, refugees don’t have to pay for their items. It’s free to them. Since it’s not necessary to keep useless items, the government only let them keep their valuable items. Also, it’s safe to be in Denmark than staying in Syria, where ISIS wrecked their area. The first fair answer is not paying for anything. Refugees do not need to worry about bills, payment for clothes, food, or education. They have it all covered. Denmark is nice enough to do all these nice things for them. They...

...Why I Chose This Topic I chose this topic because it directly relates to me. I’m a Syrian refugee living in the United States. In recent days, I have not been following the Syrian refugee problem, so I want to update myself on the situation. I also chose this topic because refugees are one of the biggest problems in the world. There are many people that are misplaced in the world. There are 18 million Syrians that are all misplaced. This also a good topic to write about because not many people are educated about this. This problem is one of the most underestimated problems. Not many people know how it feels to be a refugee. It hurts to know that your country is not safe. It’s a tough life to live, and no one deserves to go through this pain. By writing about this I hope people will speak out more about the issue, and do something to help towards solving this problem....
