Refugee Crisis Essay

188 Words1 Page

Social justice is the equaSocial justice is the equal and fair connection between society itself and an individual or group. In this case, the world is “society”. The refugee crisis is a social justice matter because the asylum seekers are the “individual”. They are orphans, widows, and entire families, all trying to escape death and persecution from within their own country. They have left their home with nothing but a bag and the clothes on their backs and fled, hoping to find a safe haven elsewhere. As people who are in a position of power, with plentiful resources, food, security, and the ability to accommodate for thousands more, the amount of refugees coming in are but a small drop compared to those we can still help.

  • The Last Asylum Essay

    2035 Words  | 9 Pages

    The Last Asylum, as Barbara Taylor notes in the prologue of the book, is a book that is not meant to be your average misery memoir (Taylor XV). Instead, she makes the claim where the book is more of a a combination of both a history and personal story, and with the “yes and no” answer immediately insinuating it is not your typical sad story. But as her account continues, I notices there were other goals Taylor attempts to achieve. Some of these goals include the following: to show how she changes over her experience in the asylum, to provide a brief history of the asylum system in the United Kingdom and her impressions of it, and also to express her personal state of mind throughout the novel, which include her relationship with the psychoanalyst

Ha has to learn a new language and a whole new way of life, she has to give up many of her old traditions and ways of life like many refugees do. A universal refugee experience is something that is experienced by not all, but most refugees. Ha started out stubborn and forceful before they fled their home, "I decided to wake before dawn and tap my big toe on the tile floor first," (Lai 2). Ha is angry that only men 's feet bring good luck and she will not let that be the case for she wants to bring luck to her family.

    First of all, I would like to introduce what social justice means to me. Social justice doesn’t mean just equality, but justice or equity. Nobody is the same and some people need more help than others. For example, there is one person who is left handed and one right handed. There should be notebooks with the spiral on the left and some on the right, so they both can have an opportunity.

  • There Is A Social Justice Issue Rather Than A Health Issue Or Medical Issue

    322 Words  | 2 Pages

    Around the world, many people are suffering due to inequalities in social determinants. These inequalities such as no access to water, jobs, gender equality to name a few, isn’t a problem of certain individuals, it’s an on-going problem for many and it can be attributed to a lack of social justice. Social justice can be defined as discrimination or nondiscrimination in which certain groups are withheld rights and services (Bravemen et al., 2011). One of the many reasons why it is a social justice issue rather than a health issue or medical issue is because within the countries, there exists inequalities in access to water, food, incomes, services being provided giving some the advantage and leaving others without (Marmot et al., 2008).

  • Refugees In Kenya Essay

    800 Words  | 4 Pages

    Kenya has had great numbers of refugees in the country from several years back. “Refugee Realities: Refugee Rights versus State Security in Kenya and Tanzania” is a journal article by Edward Mogire who states that Kenya has been hosting refuges since 1970 and in the end of 2005, it hosted about 251,300 refugees including 150,500 from Somali, 76,600 from Sudan, 2,800 from Uganda and 21, 400 from other nationals. (Mogire, 2009) Kenya has always been seen as a peaceful country that other states such as the ones mentioned above were made to feel free in seeking refuge within Kenyan borders. In the case of Somali, Kenya has maintained an open door policy towards the refugees crossing from Somali due to the instability in their country and the threat of Al-Shabaab.

    These are all things that people in refugee camps around the world could only dream of. Unfortunately we cannot help all of the refugees in the world, but if we can help just a few it will make a difference. We can help out by providing funds to organisations like the UN and also by raising awareness for the refugees. We can also educate our children about the conditions that the refugees have to live in and how they can raise awareness and support for the cause. These are all viable ways to raise awareness for the refugees, but that does not guarantee that they will be helped.
