“Those who had no choice but to flee for their survival and the survival of their families became refugees, seeking safe havens in other parts of Europe and beyond. At first, Jews were allowed to settle in neighboring countries such as Belgium, France, and Czechoslovakia, but as German occupation spread across the continent, these countries were no longer safe and refugees became increasingly desperate to escape. The life of Jewish refugees was described in this way: “[The refugees] were welcomed nowhere and could be assimilated nowhere. Once they had left their homeland they remained homeless, once they had left their state they remained stateless; once they had been deprived of their human rights they were right-less, the scum of the earth” (America, 2017).

One of the obstacles that an individual can face is nature. Another obstacle is other people who are trying to get in the way, especially those who see themselves as of higher importance. And finally
When the topic of college comes up, many things come to mind. Those are the glory days for most of us. The college parties, the struggle to find a balance between having fun and maintaining a good GPA, and not to mention the amazing athletic departments that colleges offer. Everyone enjoys sports but does anyone ever stop to wonder how much goes into preparing for those games? There’s very much work that goes in the preparation of a student athlete other than just showing up for practice.

For example, sexual violence against women, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and environmental or natural disasters, such as earth quakes
For this paper I was to write about cultural awareness. One of the few things I found interesting was the difference of values between United States and China. Chinese values are derived from Confucianism, while the US values are derived from individualism. According to Valerie Hoeks who is an expert on Chinese value and business relationship stated the three things that the Chinese values are reciprocal favors, harmony, and face value/reputation. I decided to compare the Chinese values with some on my own values.
