Then he killed that person with your gun, but you think that it was either you or him who killed but the gun did. This situation does happen in the really world. For many years, Syrians were living in a disorderly and unsafe nation. 12 million of Syrians became refugee. For the past half-decade, they are seeking help from other countries, even thought some of these countries are exactly those which supplied weaponry and materials to the rebels of their motherland. They still hope and believe they could get help from these countries and maybe find a peaceful place to live in them. They are also very grateful to the government’s succor.

    Introduction Australia is a ‘receiving’ country and bears the responsibility as an international citizen to take in asylum seekers. The Parliament of Australia defines asylum-seekers as “individuals who have sought international protection and whose claims for refugee status have not yet been determined. Those covered [by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)] refer to claimants whose individual applications are pending, irrespective of when they may have been lodged.” This differs from Australian Parliament’s definition of refugees. Asylum seekers have to be processed, and it must be determined if they are ‘genuine refugees.’…

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that nearly 4.8 million Syrian civilians have fled their homes to neighboring countries and abroad, while approximately 8.7 are predicted to be displaced within Syrian borders (UNHCR, 2016). While this may arguably be the biggest refugee crisis of our time (United Nations, 2016), the world’s wealthiest countries are slow to accept refugees into their borders. While some countries are unwilling to accept any refugees at all, some such as the United States are welcoming them in smaller…

    America has always let in people from all around the world and we shouldn’t allow terrorist to scare us because that is what they want. I have seen that so far none of the refugees have done anything to the U.S. This shows that there is no big reason to not let them in and show we should be obligated to help them. America should always help those in need and be brave to help other when people are afraid to help them.…

    Introduction Farm hand work in the United States does not pay well and is intended for people without degrees for the most part. Typically, immigrants from Mexico with work visas hold these jobs because Americans don’t think the pay is enough and the working conditions are rough. In recent years Americans are starting to complain that these so called “immigrants” are taking the jobs of fellow Americans. There are always two sides to the story and I want to investigate why documented Americans, like myself, are blaming “immigrants” for stealing jobs in the U.S. Looking at the problem and what certain American citizens this issue distresses, I hope to seek a unique solution that solves the issue.…

    Asylum Seekers As a member of the Human Rights summit, it is obvious that Australia is failing to uphold the high standards required for the treatment of asylum seekers. The evidence clearly demonstrates that Australia is in breach of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is totally unacceptable and must be altered immediately. The United Nations define asylum seekers as a person who is outside their own country and is unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of being persecuted because of their: race, religion, nationality, member of a particular social group or political opinion. Currently there are 42.5 million people displaced by persecution and conflict. Every year over 895 000 people are forced to become asylum seekers because of horrendous circumstances (such as war) in their hometown.…

    When talking about refugees, the risk isn’t how many come into the country, it’s how few are radicalized. Former President Obama said that 99.9% of refugees are peace-seeking. If 99.9% are peace-seeking, then that means every 10,000 refugees taken in will contain about 10 radical people. The attacks in Paris were carried out by less than 10 people. 137 people were killed in Paris on November 2015.…

    The Dell Theory of conflict prevention introduces a massive industry of supply chains working together. Friedman’s theory starts off with introducing how the world works together and shows us how an entire global supply chain produces his Dell notebook.

Limitations to the dell theory are mutant supply chains where destruction is unavoidable, and the fact that world conflict has turned more into wars between groups vs. nations rather than…
