Persuasive Essay On Syrian War

Justin Trudeau’s liberal party made the moral and accurate decision to admit the Syrian refugees into Canada. This decision was based on the morals to provide safety towards innocent victims of war. This decision should be seen as morally justified by all Canadians. Although there are some practice issues that must be resolved in order to give them an equal and equitable life in Canada.

For many ongoing years now, Syria has been in a war with thousands of fleeing refugees, terrorists that could be attacking at any minute, and the constant involvement of other countries that has done more harm than their planned good. I believe that the foreign involvement of countries such as the US and Russia have fueled more of the ongoing violence in Syria.

Canada has always been recognized as an accepting and “go-to” country in crisis. However, in recent years, there have been changes. Refugee legislation has become extremely strict, qualifications for refugees have become unfair, and limitations regarding what Canada offers refugees have been set.

In Margaret Wente’s article, “Syrian refugees: the romance and the reality” (Oct 1, 2016), she argues that Canadians must stop looking at the refugee crisis through rose coloured glasses and realize that there is far more to helping those living through this crisis then simply taking them out of the battleground. Wente backs her argument using data and facts as well as personal anecdotes from those providing social assistant to those in need. She hopes to bring attention to the problems Canada is facing regarding immigration and realize that simply bringing Syrians to Canada isn’t enough. While people have left the warzone coming to Canada without the ability to speak the language or support themselves will put the same pressure

They can not only help Canada, but can help their everyday lives as well. They can help their everyday lives because by moving to Canada, they don’t need to worry about another civil war occurring suddenly and being killed. Plus, by moving to Canada, their children or descendants would be able to live a happy and promising future, instead of growing up in a community where healthcare, education, and other infrastructures have been destroyed. Furthermore, even though the government is only taking care of the refugees for one month, it doesn’t mean they can’t find a decent-living job. Even if they have problems learning the language, the Canadian government is taking care of you for one month by providing you with enough money, services and benefits for the refugees to find a job and live a better life than the refugees did in Syria. Lastly, Syrians should come to Canada because they can express what their lives were like and possibly encourage the Canada government or citizens to help rebuild Syria instead of just one family trying to do it. With more Syrian refugees coming to Canada, more new ideas could be generated and could be the first step to renovating both Syria and

As Canadians, we live in a country of democracy and freedom, which provide equal opportunities for all citizens to share their thoughts. Unlike Canadians who are able to influence the direction of political value, Syrians are under Internet censorship and surveillance by their own country. Censorship caused the local government to filters online content block many websites, limiting citizens’ accessibility to create user generated content. Furthermore, Internet access was only given to a privileged minority. In the year of 2011, the first wave of protests - the Arab Spring, spread across the Middle East. As the civil war rages, death toll raised to 250,000, nearly half of them civilians. Also, a large number of people fled their homes, seeking

Critics have said that this is unfair be¬cause not all countries are safe for all people, even if they are relatively peaceful. For example, some religious, sexual or cultural minorities may be at risk in countries that are otherwise safe for the majority. Syria is not listed under the “safe” countries list therefore it appears that Canada went above and beyond standard policy. Through research I found that the process of resettling the first 25,000 Syrian refugees had five phases. Canada worked with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to identify people in Jordan and Lebanon, where they have an extensive list of registered refugees. Following that visa offices were setup in Amman and Beirut for processing and then beginning in December 2015, many refugees flew in on government-chartered aircraft, and commercial flights. When refugees arrived in Canada, Border Services Officers processed and admitted them to Canada. This included verifying their identities when they arrived. Refugees were also screened for signs of illness when they arrived. Anyone who was ill was

I believe that only a few of us here really know what is going on with the politics and politicians. And most of us might not even really care, because we have so many other things to worry about such as; graduating, prom and where we are going next. But I am sure that everyone has heard about at least one thing that had to do with the Syrian refugees situation. And a bit more of us have heard that Canada wants to accept 25 000 Syrian refugees. How thoughtful of us, helping people who have nowhere to live, and live in pitiful situations! It is the right thing to do isn’t it? Apparently not. Saving children and women who have gone through screening processes and who have lived for four years on UN supported camps, could be DANGEROUS. Fellow classmates and Ms. Hubbard I am here to tell you that Syrian refugees should be welcome to Canada by all citizens.

Canada has always been recognized as one of the most generous and caring countries in the world, and this is mainly due to the values that Canadians hold. According to Gerald Caplan of The Globe and Mail, “Canadians know we can’t solve this crisis on our own, or even make more than a dent in it. But they also know we can make a real difference to tens of thousands of fleeing Syrians whose lives have been shattered, and they’re determined to do so.” For this reason, the civil society of Canada had and/or has encouraged its political parties in aiding and accepting Syrian refugees to help them escape their violent situation in order to make a real change in their lives. In fact, Canadians have themselves gotten involved in helping sponsor, as well as, intergrade Syrian refugees into Canadian societies. Mennonite Central Committee, who has a history of working with the refugee population and have assisted “thousands of displaced people and has been instrumental in creating and promoting to assist refugees in Canada” have themselves stated that different groups of people offered their help after the picture of Alan Kurdi surfaced. “… (the picture) bought together a diverse group; other church groups became interested in joining our work on resettlement—other faith groups, neighborhood groups, institutions of learning, and even municipalities.”

I am pleased that you won the presidential elections. But before I get on with the letter, I would like to introduce myself. I am Katrina Azar, a 6th grader from Michigan. Also, I am Syrian. This is where I have an earnest request: Please, may you do something about the Syrian war? The Syrian army and the country itself need as much support as possible. If we have more support, ISIS won't succeed. And, if ISIS does win the war, it will gradually start trying to control the world! Syria is a beautiful place. All the people love and care for each other there, even strangers. It's safe and there are no words to describe it. It's serene and peaceful. Life is a beauty there. I smile when I think about it and sometimes

The U.S. military is the largest and most powerful military in the history of the world. When the U.S. must use this military might to invade another country, the President and senior elected officials have a responsibility to ensure the reasoning behind the invasion is ironclad and as transparent as possible. War should be a last resort, and those in the position of power need exhaust all diplomatic channels first. Unfortunately this powerful sense of duty was not abided by during the lead up to the Iraq invasion. Senior officials in the Bush administration deliberately deceived the public by using manipulative and inaccurate intelligence information in order to gain public approval for the invasion of Iraq. Trusted elected officials betrayed the oath to their office. Callously and recklessly caused the loss of life to members of our military, and innocent civilians in Iraq. Officials in the Bush administration need to be held legally accountable for the grave harm their deception caused. Former President George Bush and senior officials in the Bush administration should stand trial for violating the law under US code title 18 section 2441: war crimes, because of the craven duplicity, unparalleled corruption, and horrific crimes they committed against humanity.

I think that Canada has a lot on its plate right now. There are a lot of conflicts that must be resolved before accepting a vast amount of Syrians into our country. The fact that Canada’s younger generation cannot find employment in their own country is terrifying. This might also be the leading cause for our population rate to be rather low. Young Canadians are probably afraid to raise a family of their own since their resources, like daycare, might be very costly. Also, the elder who help build Canada into the country we know as today, get a very small pension. It’s quite sad in the sense that I feel like Canada isn’t thanking them enough for their contribution. However, the immigrants who come to Canada, in our present world, get to travel

The Syrian refugee crisis has received massive media coverage. People around the world are trying to comprehend the desperate, complicated situation surrounding Syria. The civil war in Syria is the worst crisis in our time. Syrians upset at the fact that long promised reforms have not been enacted, began anti-government demonstrations which started the civil war in 2011. The peaceful protests turned ugly, with the government violently putting an end to those protests. Afterward, ordinary citizens took arms, causing the situation to escalate. Syrians are fleeing their homes because of the great violence, which have left thousands dead and millions wounded, a collapsed infrastructure, resulting in a shattered economy, and for the safety of the children. Syrians are either streaming to surrounding countries or risking their lives to travel to Europe.

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the

The Syrian Arab Republic is an Arab country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the West, Turkey to the North, Iraq to the East, Jordan to the South, and Israel to the Southwest. In March 2011, the Syria conflict has begun due to various reasons and is still going on today. This outbreak is one of the key factors which resulted the Arab Spring (Arab Uprising). Arab Spring refers to the democratic uprisings that arose independently and spread across the Arab world in 2011. The protest originated in Tunisia in December 2010 and quickly took hold in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. In these countries, the citizens intiatied the protests as the ruling families have been
