  • Refugees And The Mental Health Care Of Refugees

    1884 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Mental Health of refugees is an important factor that can play into how they adjust to, and live in a new area or country. It can be more difficult for a refugee to adjust to a new country if that country is on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to development. Some refugees immigrate to new countries to have a better life; most of those countries are high income countries. Today Syrian refugees are finding different ways to get into better counties in Europe. Many are coming in by boats loading as many people as possible, which results in dangerous journeys for the refugees and a large amount of people flooding European countries. Reported by the news network CNN, as many as 30 refugees are piling onto a small inflatable boat along the Turkish coast just to paddle their way to Greece (Watson). Many are just trying to create a better life for themselves or for their families. Refugees transitioning to these new countries can often experience culture shock once they enter into their host country.

  • The Syrian Refugee Crisis

    Currently, the largest cause of refugees is the Syrian civil war, which has displaced over 2.1 million people. As a country of relative wealth, the United States should be able to provide refuge for many refugees, as well as provide monetary support to the refugees that they are not able to receive. Countries surrounding Syria, such as Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq have taken in the vast majority of Syrian refugees. In some countries, such as Lebanon, Syrian refugees make up over a quarter of the population. This causes extreme economic strain on a country, and can greatly increase the amount of poverty that is seen there.

  • Escape From Violence: Conflict and the Refugee Crisis in the Developing World

    2522 Words  | 6 Pages

    The developing world has been overwhelmed by major refugee crises in the past few decades, and a rapidly changing world has altered the dynamics of refugee flows and their root causes. For this reason, the authors of Escape From Violence: Conflict and the Refugee Crisis in the Developing World, attempt to provide a more realistic theoretical framework of refugee trends in order to prescribe ways in which the developed world can help alleviate the problem. The book attempts to clarify why there have been so many refugees emerging recently from the developing world, why they leave in varying volumes, where they end up, and why they go back or not. The findings indicate that patterns of refugee flows and conflict are affected by various economic and political factors within originating countries as well as the global setting itself, with different kinds of conflict producing different kinds of refugee patterns. This suggests the complexity of the causes of refugee issues, which include many examples of external influence and intervention.

This family flees their country in order to seek safety in a neighboring, more stable country. These people are considered refugees. Refugees are not travelers or immigrants because they are displaced due to some devastating reason, whether that is war or persecution. Other countries extend money, resources, and even their land to help resettle refugees out of political and humanitarian obligation.
