Refugees In The Eu Research Paper

Improved Essays
The Eu has had a continuously growing and controversial problem on their hands for the past few years. This problem has been whether or not to provide foreign aid to migrants and refugees coming from conflicted countries like Syria. Every year, there are thousands of migrants and refugees flooding into countries of the EU. They are fleeing war, poverty, and other conditions to go to the EU. It would be wrong to not continue providing foreign aid to these people because of the reasons the migrants can help. The EU should continue providing foreign aid to migrants and refugees coming from conflicted countries like Syria because Syrian migrants and refugees can have positive impacts on economies of countries in the EU, and because the migrants and refugees need the foreign aid to survive. …show more content…
According to an article by Holly Ellyat on CNBC.com, Syrian migrants and refugees can offer economic help to economies in the EU. She says that many migrants are skilled and able bodied people that can benefit and work in many different places. These people are the people that will help fix Europe’s ever aging skill gaps and its massive job vacancies. The EU’s combined GDP has been steadily rising over the past 7 years after a large decline in 2008. Tejvan Pettinger, an Oxford University economics teacher, says that this rise in Europe's combined GDP has been due to working migrants and refugees that have come from Syria. They have already been filling job vacancies and skill gaps which has risen Europe's combined GDP. Providing foreign aid to migrants and refugees has shown to be positive to economies of countries in the EU, and continuing to provide it will remain beneficial to the

    Refugees can be driven to flee their homes due to factors such as war, famine, and persecution of a religion. Those who do flee, undergo the Universal Refugee Experience, in which refugees who fled their homes in hopes of a better life, find a new place they could call home. Thanhha Lai, an author who had experienced the Universal Refugee Experience first-hand, writes about it and its effects from the perspective of a ten-year-old refugee from the historical fiction novel "Inside out and Back again" named Ha. As a refugee, Ha flees her home seeking salvation from her war-torn country, similar to millions of refugees around the world. The novel "Inside out and Back Again" represents the Universal Refugee Experience because it emphasizes on…

    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).…

    The social construction of ‘boat people’ who arrive in Australia is affected by a tripartite process involving the press, government policy and the Australian population. The media represents the refugee experience through manipulated facts to engender certain responses from its audience. Headlines such as Unstoppable flow of asylum seekers and Navy on high alert as armada threatens use words such as “swelled”, “unlawfully” and “fake” to incite a negative association with refugees. Piers Akerman, reporter of Powerless to stop an invasion of boat people uses “them” and “we” to create a metaphysical distance between refugees and the Australian population.…

    A refugee can be described as any individual who is outside of their country of residence, and who is unable or reluctant to return to their country of origin because they will be, or they have a fear of being, persecuted. Persecution in the case of refugees is hostility or ill-treatment based on whom an individual is or their beliefs (textbook). Most refugees come from war torn countries, where rebel groups and armies exploit and abuse civilian populations, and refugees flee from these harmful situations in search of safety (voices from the front line article). In order to fully understand what a refugee is in Canada, the historical development of refugees in Canada must be outlined, with specific attention being placed on their admission…

    Australia uses approximately $4 billion every year to evade their overall responsibility specified under the Refugees Convention. Australia wishes to be considered as being one of the most civilized nations in the world, therefore, when some of the people at the shores are crying for help, they are taken into consideration and offered help in terms of security, food and place to stay. For many years, the asylum seekers in Australia have been treated badly even worse compared to an animal and further, animals have better rights compared to the rights revolving around the refugees (Burnside & Reynolds, 2014, p. 1). Therefore, despite massive torture directed at asylum seekers, research has not established any form of political profit that the…

    The world has recently become aware of a shocking crisis in Europe. Migrants from around the world are making the perilous journey from their own war-torn poverty-stricken lands to the safer prosperous nations within the EU. As the most affluent continent in the world, we should be expected to welcome the immigrants and grant them a safe place to live. However we treat them with a xenophobic prejudice, as though they have come only to pillage and plunder both patria and populace. We are told that they are an incessant evil that we cannot afford to allow into our society, when in fact, those who arrive on the shores of Calais are utterly traumatised people who desperately need our help.…

    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.…
