The world
has witnessed and continues to witness countless refugee crises the most recent
being the Syrian refugees in The Middle East. This is not unfortunately the
only one: Congolese civilians have recently had to cross over in to neighboring
Rwanda; the Darfur crisis has gone on for years. What are the effects of such
forced exoduses on the victims and on the host countries which sometimes
grudgingly welcome them? How can the problem be addressed? Research the topic
on ted.com, radiolab.org and voanews.com and take notes on what you listen to.
Once you have done this, do some reading and make some notes. When you are
done, follow the plan below to write a four paragraph essay.
Refer to my second blog, The Essay
Archive, for sample essays: https://theessayarchive.blogspot.com.tr/
In your introduction, discuss the causes of refugee
crises such as civil wars, draught, famine or similar disasters for example.
End your introduction with a thesis statement stating clearly that refugee
crises affect both the host country and the refugees themselves as they are hugely
disruptive.
In the first developmental paragraph, discuss the effects on the host
country:
- A strain on facilities and amenities
- Friction with the local population
In the second developmental paragraph, discuss the effects on the
refugees:
- Physical problems ( inadequate
accommodation, lack of basic necessities and creature comforts)
- Psychological problems ( due to trauma
that has been suffered and continuing problems with day to day living)
In your conclusion, explain that such situations should not be
allowed to drag on and thus the international community needs to pull together
to address the problems. Suggest the following:
- Financial aid to enable charities and host
countries to provide for the refugees.
- Negotiations to provide political solutions to problems causing particular crise
