A boy touches his crying father head trying to console him after refugees from non-war-torn countries were denied entry to Macedonia at the Greek border.

Seeking Asylum is a universal right and it is not exclusively granted to people from war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.…

Asylum seekers are people who are fleeing from their home country to get away from the human rights issues they are currently facing; Thanks to the popularity, it has become a very controversial topic in the media.

Paul Power wrote this article aimed at middle-aged to senior Australians, as it informs them about the harsh struggles refugees are constantly experiencing.…
This report examines the seriousness of the issue on refugees and asylum seekers that Australia is facing, and also shows that there is a need of change in Australia's policy on this matter. Although in recent times, there have been a several changes made. However, with a country that has such strict immigration law and policy for refugees like Australia, this report reveals the contradictions between Australian's legal system with the UN policy of human rights; and research also shows that the attempt made has not been enough on gaining remarkable progress. In recent years, countries that are suffering war and poverty like Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq occupy a significant number of asylum seekers coming to Australia by boats (p5).…
When many people think of Australia, thoughts of stunning beaches, very strong accents and multiculturalism come to mind. However for one of these things, this is not always the case. Despite there being people in Australia from ethnicities all over the world, Australia isn’t very welcoming to a specific group of people, that is, Asylum Seekers. The Australian government, both past and present, has introduced very tight laws regarding the treatment and Australia’s acceptance of Asylum Seekers. This is unacceptable.…
The thesis statement is – “Legislation needs to be changed to grant political asylum to these refugees to help decrease wasted U.S. law enforcement resources, undocumented residency, black market labor, and in turn give better opportunities to these people while also improving America's international image.” This thesis statement is well-written because it provides a lot of details and specific information that the reader needs to know. Also, it provides a lot of points that support the writer's opinion. However, the topic is not clearly stated in the thesis but the reader can still understand because of the good statements and details that are stated.…
Open immigration should be allowed to continue in the United States without being condemned or restricted. Ever since September 11 happened, some Americans have been under the impression that all immigrants are dangerous. They do not want any immigrants in the U.S. and feel that they should be deported. These Americans who feel this way use excuses such as, immigrants take away our jobs and our health care. These excuses show what little knowledge Americans have about immigrants.…

I need to know what are the causes of distress and depression among immigrants and what specific group of immigrants experience the most mental health issues.…

Immigrant children are among the most stressed children of their generation when it comes to today's time. In the past decades the percentage of immigrant children has increased from 4.7 percent to 12.9 percent. This significant increase is putting more children into poverty and ultimately setting them up for either failure or success with no grey area in-between. There is also the anxious thoughts put into their minds about being in a new place with unfamiliar people or objects, even sounds. These children need to learn skills that they would have never even thought about learning which to them, is the ultimate source of their stress.…
The notion of ‘Migrant culture’ is embedded in New Zealand’s society, and perhaps its culture as a whole. As a multicultural nation, people from all over the world have migrated to settle in the land of the long white cloud, Aotearoa. The high level of cultural diversity within such a small country, created a strong migrant culture, particularly when it comes to communication amongst different ethnicities and cultures. In contemporary society, communicating with family back home, or perhaps, simply maintaining an aspect of one’s identity has been vastly assisted and supported through Mediatisation. This mentioned aspect of cultural identity could range from learning a language to consuming or merely just purchasing “ethnic” food that is relevant…
Countries have a moral obligation to protect the human rights of refugees. Refugees are people who have been forced from their countries within reasons varying from political unrest, persecution, and war; refugees are people who have been stripped of their human rights. To live in such dreadful environments is a direct violation of Article Three from The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “the right to life, liberty and security” as well as Article Twenty-two, which is “the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation” (The United Nations 1948). Take for example the story of Yusra Mardini, a refugee: somewhere along the coast of Greece and Turkey, twenty people are crowded on a tattered boat, trying to reach asylum across the Mediterranean Sea. All the sudden, the motor begins to quiet.…
