Moving To A New Country As A Refugee

Decent Essays
Moving to a new country as a refugee might be more difficult than moving for other reasons, such as a job because Refugees often know nothing of the culture, economy, or language of the country they are forced to move to. Living in a new place after settling somewhere else for a long period of time is always hard but it is even harder when you can’t prepare for the things you will experience in that new place, many refugees go through this. The refugees may see the food in the supermarket as strange or just plain weird as it is much different than what they are used to where they come from. Adding on to the foreign feeling of the food they will likely experience confusion while navigating as it may seem much different than what they are used

    Warsan Shire says, “No one leaves home unless a home is the mouth of a shark.” Refugees are people who are leaving their country to escape civil war and natural disaster, or because of religious persecution. Most immigrants come to the US to escape poverty, oppression, and to get better opportunities for themselves and for their children. No one wants to leave their home country, family, and friends, but sometimes it is dangerous to stay in their home country. When immigrants and refugees arrive in the United States, they are generally safer, but still they are living in harsh conditions and unfriendly environments.…

    While some success is apparent in reaching goals of employment and English language abilities, overall indicators suggest many refugee households need assistance with job placement and language training beyond their first year in the U.S.(Shaw & Poulin, 2015). Actually, as soon as they arrive, acculturation to a new society is difficult for all immigrant groups, regardless of age and country of origin (Baffoe, Cheung, & Asimeng-Boahene, 2012). The critical issues are involved in the multiple struggles of acculturation of immigrant and refugee in their new environments. Buffoe et al.…

    After the lengthy and painful election process that the United States had to witness, the word refugee may still be ringing in our heads. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the major party candidates, threw around the word with seemingly opposite connotations. The online Webster’s dictionary even goes so far as declaring it one of the top 20% of words in public use. Though it defines refugee as: “someone who has been forced to leave a country because of war or for religious or political reasons,” major political figures and common people alike have associated it with either a potential for terrorism or a need to protect and help as many of these people as possible.…

    “Being a refugee is much more than political studies, it is the most pervasive kind of cruelty that can be exercised against a human being” Deadly silence swept through the night, dispensing uneasy tension and fear across the bombarded city of Daraa. Terror walked around our streets, loaded with heavy ammunition aiming their hatred towards innocent civilians. We did not dare to muster a single sound in our wooden creaky house, concealing ourselves from the danger within. In this town, a single sound meant a brutal slaughter of families and the innocent.…
