The country of Syria has been in war for the past few years now. Small towns have been destroyed, the lives of innocent people have been taken and the visions of a future for the country of Syria have faded away. Around the world countries have come together to help the citizens of Syria, by providing permanent homes and temporary homes as well. Millions of refugees have been helped but there are still some stuck in the country desperately seeking help. In the beginning some countries closed their doors their doors to taking in refugees. But now that the future of Syria seems less bright, the temporary homes are becoming permanent and countries have now opened their doors to taking in refugees.
The country of Syria is in war as i'm writing this blog post. The war is due to a terrible government that isn't doing anything to stop or even prevent the war. These wars are practically the fault of the Syrian government itself. The only way that the country will be safe again is if the government undergoes major changes. What I mean by that is that the president of Syria will have to resign from his position and new elections will go. But the problem is that Syria has lost more than half of their soldiers, they've lost their weapons and they've lost territory. Another election could lead to another war ans Syria is no longer equipped for war.
The temporary homes for the refugees like the camps built in Turkey, Greece and Lebanon are over capacitated and the countries themselves no longer have the ressources to support the refugees with food, water and shelter. Like I said they were only supposed to be temporary homes but they've been temporary for too long now and eventually it wont be helping the refugees anymore. Countries like Canada and Germany do have the capacity to take in refugees but even there, there are limits such as job opportunities and living spaces.
Abandoning the refugees an sending them back to Syria is not an option tho. They are human and deserve a fair chance at living a good life. The countries around the world need to come together more then they already have and come to agreement that we as a world need to help out the people of Syria and give them the opportunities they deserve.
As for the future of the country of Syria, all that can be done is to hope that they regain their humanity and stop fighting. I hope you all enjoyed my post, it was a pleasure writing it!
Happy summer:)

Fascinating and very timely topic that clearly affects our country and this region. Very informative and well explained. I would love to hear your take on the refugees in Windsor being housed in a variety of hotels.
ReplyDeleteA few issues:
- Spelling / Grammar/ Typos (A few run-ons, its vs it’s, thats, lowercase ‘i', “ its very too bad”, Im, laced vs placed, dont, ans instead of and, etc.)
- Sourcing not always clear, specifically for later posts. (What are sources for last 2 posts?)
- Little to no opinion in some posts (ex. 1st and 2nd posts) What do you personally believe about the information you are bringing forth? In later posts, don’t forget to explain the ‘why’ of your opinion.
- Some small formatting problems such as an empty poll, large empty space, confusing background image.
- Repetition (Germany’s birth to death rate used several times to explain their acceptance of refugees.)
Overall though, a very enlightening blog. Good job.
Hello. Since I don't have television at home, I can't keep up with news these days. I don't use Twitter to check news. So I find it nice how I can keep up with what is happening with the Syrian refugees. I hope that the people of Syria can find somewhere safe to live because apparently the 'minority' of a group defines the 'majority' these days. :I
ReplyDeleteHey Ricky! Glad to hear that my blog is helping you get informed on whats going on. Thanks for reading:)
DeleteHey Emily! Brianna here. I really enjoyed this blog post as well as all the others. I liked it because it informed me on a topic that is relevant in today's society as well as in our region. I truly believe it is important to inform ourselves on touchy subjects like the debate on 'what to do as a country when it comes to the Syrian refugees.' Being informed makes you form an opinion based on your knowledge. I personally believe the golden rule: treat others the way you'd like to be treated. So if we put ourselves in the position of the refugees, we would want someone to help us.
ReplyDeletehey there! Im happy to hear that you enjoy reading my blog and I'm also happy to hear that you think this subject is important. I think people really need to place themselves in the shoes of the refugees and see what its like to completely understand. Hopefully in the future people will open their hearts to the refugees and they give their best efforts to help. Thanks for reading!
