The model recognizes five ecological systems. They are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem (Boyd & Bee, 2012). These interactions with either will help or hurt the child’s development, which is why this model is important to understand. Microsystem implies the immediate environment of a person.…

    The Dignity of the Human Person recognizes the value of every individual and requests that all people – including children - are treated with respect. They need to be provided with all the opportunities available to reach their full potential. Looking at the typical Australian child compared to a child refugee, Australian children are provided with education, their own room, parents/guardians and a safe country that supplies clean water and food. However, child asylum seekers are entitled to no education, a shared room (often enough – no bed), parents that are either deceased or unable to support them, and a country that detains them for seeking a helping hand to a better life. The International Detention Coalition recognizes these aspects…

    Asylum Argument Essay

    For many reasons, a female asylum applicant might not have access to identity documents or other documentary proof of her claim. For example, women in the applicant’s country may not be afforded full rights of citizenship, or an applicant’s means of support may have been dependent upon a male relative who had control over any documents pertaining to the female applicant. It may be unreasonable to expect a woman fleeing from a refugee producing country to have documentation of sexual abuse because of the strong cultural stigma attached to rape; “women survivors of sexual violence often are reluctant to seek medical assistance or to file police reports because they do not want it known that they were raped.” Global Report on Women’s Human Rights, August 1996. Cultural differences and norms governing women’s behavior, as well as the effects of trauma, may present special difficulties in evaluating credibility of female asylum applicants.…
