Life of a Refugee

I'm not sure if we're supposed to continue posting after our presentation, but I'm just gonna go for it.

Fiona Terry discusses the importance of partiality by humanitarian aid in circumstances where oppression and control by the state is prevalent. On the other side of the same coin, Marfleet writes about the consequence of the implementation and the impact of globalization on the displaced millions, and the cultural climate this will create. As the exchange of information begins the flow more and more freely, it is imperitive that great nations are responsible for being informed, and not turning away from these conflicts. In a global community, it is preposterous to allow and accept these great states to maintain neutrality in issues that are so plainly divided by right and wrong, good vs. evil, and most times armed vs. innocent.If these countries will not allow the displaced millions onto their soil for safety from their state, then they must enter the conversation and demand the respect of the rights of these citizens. While this will oftentimes seem like the jurisdiction of a greater state on a less-developed one.. this is a world of continued development.. and that idea will perish if the rights of humans of every race, gender and culture are protected and revered.
