One of the social problems that concerns me is how immigrants/refugees parents can be supportive in their children’s academic success from middle to high school in the Wake County area.

With overpopulated camps and lack of adequate aid‚ Kenya feels it has no choice but to remove all refugees. Kenya’s possible forced removal of Somali refugees violates international and national refugee law by repatriating displaced peoples into a country classified as a “failed” state; therefore‚ the United States should send

There are valid arguments for both sides. Arguments against allowing refugees into Australia are the strongest in terms of financial cost and economic consequences for Australia. Those consequences are real and affect all of us. I have decided to argue in favour of allowing refugees enter Australia for the following reasons. A refugee is a person who is forced to leave his or her own country without the ability to return because of a war or a real risk of persecution because of their race‚ religion

Infliction Upon the Congolese The state of the Congo in the late 1800’s was intertwined with destruction and horror‚ compromising the integrity of humanity. The Belgian King Leopold II ruled over the new colony of central Africa from 1885 to 1908. The period of Leopold’s rule is known as a brutal time of exploitation‚ as millions of Congolese died. While most imperialist based discussions focus on the incentives of the Europeans‚ there is a lack of recognition of the Congolese and the imposition on

Background The year 1976 marked the first time that refugees stopped being dealt with on an ad-hoc basis‚ meaning they had been dealt with on an individual level‚ rather than having resolutions created to fit a general problem – resolutions and claims designed so that they could be adapted and manipulated in order to become more useful. The implementation of the 1976 Immigration Act saw the creation of a determination process for refugees seeking refugee status from beyond Canadian borders. There
