From several miles away, it appears to be a colorful fish, together with its tail and gills steering it in the water. However, looking closely at what appears to be a fish, you notice that it is not fish, it is a boat. A boat that is crowded with people, men with worried eyes and women carrying their babies, looking up with a begging eyes to be saved and welcomed. The war in Syria is the worst human crisis today. Half of the population in Syria either have been killed or forced to leave their homes. Syrian families are striving to survive in their towns in Syria, or finding a new home in other closer countries. Other families are risking their lives across the ocean to Europe, looking for acceptance and chances. Hot summers and cold …show more content…
The Syrian refugee crisis also has a big impact on European communities. Many Refugees are struggling with finding acceptance in these communities. The communities are struggling to feel safety among those refugees. Those communities are worried about who is living with them. There are problems because people in these communities are always worried about their kids and their lives. The communities are also impacted because there are many kids who made it to Greece are orphans and have lost their parents in the ocean. These communities are affected by an increase in number of orphans.
The Syrian crisis had all began when the anti-government protesting started in March 2011, which was part of the Arab Spring. It started as a peaceful protesting, but then the government responded in violence. More than six years later, the war had taken the lives of over 550,000 people, half of them were just civilians. According to the United Nations, more than 6.1 million people are internally displaced. When you consider the Syrian refugees, more over half of the country’s population of 22 million is in need of urgent assistance, whether those people escaped to different countries or remain in Syria (Quick Facts: What You Need to Know about the Syria Crisis). The Situation in Syria is increasing to worsen when the outside parties decided to get involved and launch airstrikes in 2015. Each time bombing on syria grounds rises, an
In syria there has been a war going on for the past 6 years. Throughout thoses 6 years family and kids have been driven from their homes. This conflict started when the syrian people and there goverment. From country and theri people involved.
For many ongoing years now, Syria has been in a war with thousands of fleeing refugees, terrorists that could be attacking at any minute, and the constant involvement of other countries that has done more harm than their planned good. I believe that the foreign involvement of countries such as the US and Russia have fueled more of the ongoing violence in Syria.
As the rifle and machine gun fire exchanges in the Syrian Civil War not only lives are lost but many innocent men, women and children are left in need of emergency care. Cecily Hilleary, a traveling journalist for VOA World News, mentions “the United Nations estimates the civil war raging in Syria has left more than 2.5 million people in dire need of food, water, drugs and medical supplies,” not including the already 25,000, and counting, deceased from the war (VOA par. 9). The medical aid is minimal in Syria due to the low number of volunteers and medical staff. Cecily tells the stories of crowded hospitals with over 250-350 beds being piled up upon with hurt Syrian individuals, many being innocent women and
In the final draft I will expand on each of the issues, by looking into more specific examples of both what different European countries are doing policy wise, as well as what the sentiment is among the refugees in the different areas of Europe. To fully be able to understand the conditions the refugees are facing I will be using other scholars ethnography work; One of those works being Katerina Rozakou’s piece regarding the management of refugees in Greece. As a result of that knowledge I will be able to come to an accurate conclusion as to what course of action should be taken in Europe as a whole, to deal with this ongoing
Many authors have been influenced by Christianity and it is expressed by symbols in many texts. The Hobbit is greatly influenced by Christianity and one of the main characters symbolizes a major figure in the world of Christianity. Bilbo takes a life changing journey where he comes to find out who he really is, and Gandalf is a protector for him and the dwarves and guides them to safety and protects them in life threatening situations. In The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien uses Gandalf to symbolize a Christ figure.
The Syrian war is a multi-problematic situation that started within Syrian borders. The Syrian war began in 2010 with something called the Arab Spring. The Arab Spring is a chain of events where people caused aggressive and non-aggressive situations such as protests which created harm in the Middle East. In 2011 people started a non-aggressive protest because children were being abused after spattering graffiti that stated how they agreed with the Arab Spring. The president during this time was Bashar al- Assad. Assad would torment and imprison the people of Syria who protested. The Syrian People wanted to end Assad’s brutal actions so they created a Free Syrian Army which led to a civil war (i.e. the Syrian war). There are several countries
The Syrian Crisis began almost three years ago. Since then, the killings, the bombings and the fleeing haven’t stopped. Obama’s administration was blamed for letting
On September of 2015, the image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi went viral. “The toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach had reverberated across the globe” (Parkinson & George-Cosh, 2015). Aylan’s family had “fled the brutal civil war in their native Syria and only attempted the boat crossing after Canada denied their application of admission as refugees. The image led to an astonishing outpouring of support for Syrian refugees” (Hein & Niazi, 2016).
Over the past four years, the situation within the Syria has become more and more dangerous. As many as 6.7 million people, have been displaced from their homes within the country alone. Another 4 million have fled the country entirely, in order to get away from the incessant fighting. An estimated 200,000 people have been killed over the course of the war, but the country is so
Because the Syrian civil war is one of the worst crisis’ in history with more than 22 thousand people killed and 11 million forced to flee.[i]
Throughout human history there have been many wars that caused chaos for the people that lived around the battlefields. Loved ones can die, property can be destroyed, and all order can be lost. In the past few years, war in the Middle East has caused a massive amount of refugees to seek a place to live in Europe. The effect that the migrants have had on European countries (mostly syrian refugees) is negative because of their impact on the daily lives of the locals, the countless amount of funds that countries have spent to try to integrate them into society, and the increased risk of terrorism in countries that harbor a large amount of migrants.
Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
“What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes” (CITE CITE CITE). Syrian people have lost their freedom, and have been living in fear since the Syrian Civil War broke out in 2011. The horrific civil war has been going on for years. There was a rebellion against the Syrian government six years ago starting the civil war. Ever since then innocent civilians have been hurting and suffering. Syrian people have been drug away from their homes and are living in anguish. The controversy on how the United States should help Syrian people has formed over the years. The media has started to cover the Syrian civil war more, and it has shown the world how much Syrian people are hurting. Americans have started to realize that these people need help, but the question of how to help is still under discussion. Some people believe that America should use organizations to donate money and supplies to the people in need. They believe that with the help of money and food that the people will be okay. Other people believe that America should send in U.S troops to help end the fighting.
In recent decades the brewing sector, despite its long tradition as local industry, has start to follow the increasing internationalization of economic activities and the globalization of markets, becoming now a global market governed by cross border takeovers and growth through acquisitions.
Today people live in an increasingly visual world, where we are engaged not only by texts but also by images. We are influenced by internet, magazines, advertisement, games, picture books, film, anime, comic books and so many more. Those media are using images to communicate, entertain and gain profit.
