    It is ironic, isn’t it, that as a nation made up almost entirely of immigrants, few being full Native American, some American residents still harbor fear of refugees entering our country. Illustrating such facts, the fleeing of Syrian refugees and immigrants traveling aborad has been the topic of discussion for quite some time now, with varying opinions on the matter regarding our nation’s borders.

    “History repeats itself”, this statement is deemed true when comparing the current situation with Syrian refugees fleeing the country of Syria and the German Jew’s of the 1930s in Germany during the time of Hitler’s uprising. After the holocaust, many hoped and believed something similar would never happen again and for the most part it hasn’t, expect for how harshly the opposition of the admission of refugees is. Both Syrian refugees and holocaust survivors were not easily admitted into the United States and could only hold on to the hope they had to reach somewhere safe to reside. Countless Syrian citizens are fleeing their country because of Assad’s corrupt ruling of the country and the strong emergence of ISIS.…

    Due to the inborn urge for man to discover and explore new things, the process of having discovered something can provoke emotional & intellectual responses. The innate transformative process in discovery has the ability to greatly influence and change an individual’s opinion of their world, but it is also able to alter widely held perspectives in a community. Ivan O’Mahoney’s documentary ‘Go Back To Where You Came From’ (Go Back) perfectly highlights this, as it follows a physical yet emotional exploration where individuals are pushed to better discover themselves and the people around them. Similarly, in Stefan’s song ‘Crossfire’, his desire to know and understand the sufferings of refugees catalyzes his emotional expedition to explore two…
