The universal refugee experience shows with all that are will be and were refugees. The book Inside Out and Back Again shows along with the articles the real struggle most if not all refugees go through and the problems that can happen. Ha has to go through the hardships of disconnecting with her home country and with her family at times and it shows in her life. Every refugee at some point will feel home, they will get or do something that reminds them of it that will likely push them to continue their journey as a refugee. The main point of the universal refugee experience is that they all go through the same general thing but not the same personal journey. The experience is unique but not unknown, and likely not wanted. Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and the refugees from the article all go through a lot. Ha as well as most refugees go through the same things like fleeing their home and going through the struggles of finding something and someone to flee with, someone to drive the boat or plane and so on, so they have a chance to get out. This is and example of Ha wishing she had the small luxuries she once did like having a snack. “Mother smooths back my hair knowing the pain of a girl who loves snacks.”(Lai 81) When one becomes a refugee you become …show more content…
Refugees have no choice in fleeing, they have to in order to stay alive most of the time. Refugees have to go through the journey of life and fleeing as well as the satisfaction of finding and remembering those warm feelings at home. A lot of refugees will cherish the small bits and pieces of home reminding them of why they keep going. Many people and once refugees that are now citizens of a country will go and help refugees and give them home because they had to find a temporary home as well, making the universal refugee experience being shown in that

My essay focuses on discrimination as one of the main challenges that refugees face. I discuss some instances of discrimination that occurred in the book, whether based on race or culture,
Living without loved ones and their precious belongings will make refugees face the point of turning “inside out”. All refugees have lost loved ones and their precious belongings. For many refugees they lose their parent’s or siblings. Some don’t have family there anymore so they lose their belongings that remind them of their home, family, and country.
First , when refugees flee their homes they are put on a boat to a different place . When Ha and her family got on the boat she said “ Everyone knows the ship could sink , unable to hold the piles of bodies that keep crawling on like raging ants from a disrupted nest “ . When Ha fled her home , she was upset she had to leave her things behind . Plus she had to leave some of her father’s things too , her mother said “ We cannot leave evidence of father’s life that might hurt him “ . It’s pretty hard for them to flee their homes because that was their home where they were born at , I know when i moved houses or states i’m sad . At least they find better homes now and they don’t have to deal with the wars .
Refugees are people that flee from home because of a disastrous event that has happened in their home land to neighboring countries. In this story, “Inside Out and Back Again” by Thanhha Lai, Ha, the main character that is ten years-old, lives with her mother in Vietnam during the time of the Vietnam War in the year of 1975. Because Ha has to live without her father, not only Ha has to deals with internal issues but also she and her family has to move on with their life. Refugees deal with losing a loved one just like how Ha has to. Refugees turn “Inside out” when they lose a loved one. They can turn “back again” when they get used to their new lifestyle in the new country. Ha is an example of this because Ha lost her father, he was captured
A refugee is a person who is being persecuted for their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion; refugees are everywhere around us and we don’t even know it. Salva, in A Long Walk to Water, was a refugee, and still is. He, along with many others, was a victim of the War in Sudan. He was fearful for his life so he had to flee his home and wound up in America, fulfilling his purpose by giving back to all of the people in Sudan, where he once was victimized. Like Salva, all refugees go through different stages when moving to another place, most common is having a hard time accepting losses and overcoming homesickness, but with help from many different people and things, they can get past this.
Starting off, How do refugees find a new home? According to page 105-106 of Inside Out, they must choose which country they want to live in. In some circumstances people choose America, but there are also many other great places like France and Sweden. Once they choose, they are sent to a refugee camp in their chosen country. Here they get food and life supplies. In order to get into a country, however, you must get a passport and maybe even a sponsor that will help you, teach you, and give you some basics for life in the new country.
U.S. immigration law is very complex, and there is much uncertainty as to how it works. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), the body of law governing current immigration policy, provides for an annual worldwide limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with certain exceptions for close family members ("How the United States Immigration System Works: A Fact Sheet"). Around the world there are so many immigrants/refugees who are in the hunt for a fitter life. Some come from places where civil war occurs or some suffer economically trying to support their family. Knowing the fact that they are desperate to seek for a better life, the best option is to migrate to the U.S, the land of opportunities. The problem lies in the migration to the U.S. What are the quotas for new immigrants arriving to the U.S? What are the eligibility requirements to becoming a permanent citizen in the U.S? With much inquiry, this topic has become very intriguing. What people must understand is that
The life of a refugee is not just a life of trials and ordeals, but also has rewards for those who pushed through the pain.
In this essay, I will be talking about social work problems faced in the UK and how they are addressed. I will be focusing on asylum seekers particularly Unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC). These are children who are under 18yrs of age and applying for asylum in their own rights. I aim to highlight key areas in understanding the needs of these children while recognising that these are by no means homogenous, and therefore explain how these needs are addressed by social policies, legislature and social workers.
Post-Traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after a traumatic or life-threatening event such as war, assault, or disaster. In most cases refugees are exposed to and carry these experiences of hostility, violence, racism, discrimination, and isolation with them to their new environment (Kulwicki,A., & Ballout,S., 2008). The resettlement period for refugees is found to be extremely critical because it inflames existing symptoms of PTSD in addition to increasing them.
All around the world, people are being forced to leave their homes due to war, persecution, and unequal treatment; these people are called refugees. When they flee, refugees leave behind their homes, family, friends, and personal possessions. They make risky escapes and their lives could be easily taken from them. Refugees often become distant and depressed as they experience these traumatic events. In the novel Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, ten year-old Hà and her family live in South Vietnam: a war torn country. Hà was like any ten year-old; she liked to stay close to her mother and got jealous when things didn’t go her way. She loves her home and wanted to stay, even when the war between the North and South got closer to home.
As refugees continue to flee their countries, the surrounding countries struggle to cope with the influx of new people into their country.
