...are not (internally displaced persons and forced migrants from natural disasters). In recent years Syria has become a more and more dangerous place to live due to civil war and conflict that originally occurred due to political unrest. 12 million Syrians have fled their homes, half of them are children. They fear for their lives and long for a life free from danger and to protect their families. Also when in an area of conflict the likely hood of becoming malnourished, abused and diseased and exploited are much higher giving them even more reason to move in order to have a better quality of life where they can live in peace and create a new life for their families and generations to come. 4 million Syrians are refugees, and most of them flee to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Another factor that can lead to refugee migration is being forced by religious belief. Between the years of 1933 and 1945 the Holocaust took place in Nazi Germany. The Holocaust involved Hitler and his Nazi party killing hundreds of Jewish for no other reason other than the fact they were Jewish. This meant thousands of people fled Germany in fear of their lives purely because of their religious belief. Between 1933 and 39 over 90,000 people fled to neighbouring countries such as Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and the Netherlands. They fled as they feared for their lives, as it was no longer safe to stay in Germany. Another reason why...

...According to the reading, “ Tutsi and people suspected of being Tutsi were killed in their homes and as they tried to flee at roadblocks set up across the country in the genocide.” (United Human Rights Council) This caused fear to shape their identity because they were scared that they would get killed so the Tutsis fled and it showed they didn’t have any power over the other ethnicity group. According to the article, “ A Hutu revolution 1959 forced as many as 300,000 Tutsi’s to flee the country, making them an even smaller minority.” (History.com Staff) This also caused fear to shape people's identity because one, they were scared of being murdered and second, it’s shaping their identity there by making it smaller and leaving the others behind. According to the article, “...set up roadblocks and barricades and began slaughtering Tutsis and moderate Hutus with impunity.” (History.com Staff) This showed that the Hutus are pretty much killers and they didn’t want any of the Tutsi’s fleeing to another country. Because of this, jealousy was the...

...Have you ever watched A Bug's Life? Well I have and it was a good movie. A Bug's Life is a very interesting movie but than again you can learn a lot of things from it. Well last week we learned Socialism and Free Enterprise. In fact, A Bug’s Life contain both free enterprise and socialism when the flee had his own circus that was free enterprise. Also when Hopper and his gang took over and when the Bug Council talked yes that was socialism. To begin with the flee had his own circus. He owned it actual everything in the circus was his. From the bad magicians to the steel popcorn he was the boss of it. This made the circus free enterprise he didn’t give up or seal it to anyone. He owned all of it not the government or anyone just him. Next, the bugs may have owned their ant hill like flee owned his circus but their hill was socialism. When Hopper and his gang came into the ant’s hill and took over they no longer owned it. Unlike being a boss like flee the queen was to scared to keep her colony in her own hands. So this made hopper more powerful than ever so he took over. In addition, the bug council was also socialism. They were almost like the government. They made the decisions to what went on in the colony before Hopper and his gang came along. They talked as a group and made decisions as a whole group instead of one person. In summary, this movie made the lesson we learned a whole lot easier to understand. From free enterprise to socialism the movie had key points. To...

...The poem, “They Flee From Me”, by Thomas Wyatt, concerns a man and his tenuous relationship with not only women, but a special woman in particular. Wyatt compares the man’s efforts to seduce women to animal imagery, more specifically imagery of a deer. In order to establish this metaphor, Wyatt associates the behaviors of a deer to the actions of a woman. In the opening of the poem, the speaker remarks how the women flee from him, but at one time they did in fact seek him. In the man’s bedroom, the woman, whose feet were naked, would stalk around the room, indicating the intimate nature of their encounters. The speaker of the poem notes that he has seen the women gentle, tame and meek, at times. Despite this, the women are now wild and...

...Kelly Haw HIST 2010-007 April 28, 2014 A Year in the South: 1865 In the book “A Year in the South: 1865” written by Stephen V. Ash there are four Southerner’s stories told about what life was like for each of them in the South during the final year of the Civil War in 1865. Both conflict and chaos occupied all people in the South, just like characters Louis Hughes, Samuel Agnew, Cornelia McDonald, and John Robertson. Hughes was a slave from the Deep South, Agnew a preacher and son of a planter, McDonald a newly widowed mother of seven, and Robertson who was a former Confederate soldier; these characters are examples of Southerners with different backgrounds who still felt the hardships during the first and final months of the Civil War. Louis Hughes, a slave originally trained as a butler, spent the majority of the Civil War on the salt works located by Alabama’s Tombigbee River. Though the salt works called for long hours and hard labor, Hughes adapted rather well to this change in employment environment. Being granted permission by Benjamin Woolsey (the state Salt Commissioner), Hughes began selling tobacco plugs, which gave him and his wife Matilda a rather decent income boost during the latter part of the war. This “happy time” for Louis Hughes and his wife did not last long once the Confederate authority in South Alabama started to come to an end. Hughes and his wife were shipped off to the Mississippi salt works by their owner and held in captivity for a few months...

...such as is shown by professional soldiers. Experience which gives people the knowledge of certain facts is also thought to be courage which is why Socrates thought that courage was knowledge. Others exhibit this quality in other dangers while professional soldiers exhibit it in the dangers of war. These men seem courageous because they know of the false alarms that happen in war while others do not. This experience makes them more able to attack and to not suffer one. In such circumstances like “trained athletes against amateurs” men that fight best are not the bravest but those who are the most physically fit and are the strongest. However if the danger is too great for these soldiers and are inferior in numbers they are the first to flee while the citizen soldiers, the ones who do as...

..."Stand Your Ground Laws Cat in the Hat ENG/757 December 7, 1941 Dr. Seus "Stand Your Ground" A Citizen's Right to Self Defense. As of 2012, 24 of the United States have put in place some form of “castle doctrine” or “stand your ground” law. These laws are designed to enable citizens to legally defend themselves with deadly force and eliminate the requirement for them to attempt to flee when they feel that an attacker is threatening their life. In the wake of the case in Sanford Florida in which self-proclaimed community watchman George Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a confrontation, much attention and public scrutiny has been brought to bear on these controversial laws. A few “stand your ground” states have claimed that abuse of these laws has fostered what some say is a shoot first ask questions later mentality, and in some cases, instances of what could be considered legalized murder. However, instances of abuse are minimal, and in states that have instituted these laws, homicide rates are the lowest in the nation. “Stand your ground” laws are also said by some to promote vigilantism, but even if in some cases this were true, law abiding citizens must be afforded the right to self-defense by any means necessary, without fear of prosecution. “Stand Your Ground”, “Castle Doctrine” What Do They Mean? In the growing debate concerning abolishment of the “stand your ground” laws in place in nearly half of the United States, there are several...

...was a lie. That's a good lesson for us. Turning his attention back to Goliath, David saw through the giant's taunts. Even as a young shepherd, David understood what it meant to be a servant of God: "All those here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands." (1 Samuel 17:47, NIV). While we should not respond to bullies by hitting them in the head with a rock, we should remember that our strength is not in ourselves, but in the God who loves us. This can give us confidence to endure when our own resources are low. Dealing with Difficult People: Time to Flee Fighting a bully is not always the right course of action. Later, King Saul turned into a bully and chased David throughout the country, because Saul was jealous of him. David chose to flee. Saul was the rightfully appointed king, and David would not battle...

...his journey. Once Flik's courage is gained, he will be able to accomplish his goal with the circus bugs help. The final step of the hero's journey, "the reward," is a famous moment for Flik and the others because they return to the colony with a plan to use the bird; they have created to scare the grasshoppers. Flick stands up to Hopper, this time rousing up the entire colony together, Hopper's deepest fear: "Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers." (A Bug's Life, Lasseter and Stanton). The grasshoppers flee, except for Hopper, who is rounded up by the ants and shoved into a cannon yelling out: "Ahhhhh!" "Ah, no!" "No-no-no-no-no!" (A Bug's Life, Lasseter and Stanton). But the rain comes and everything stops. All of the grasshoppers flee and Hopper escapes. Flik has accomplished his goal with the circus bugs help by creating a bird making Hopper and the other grasshoppers think it was real. This led to Hopper and the other grasshoppers flee away from the colony. As one can see, Flick's journey, including "tests, allies, enemies," "approaching the descent," and "the reward," marks him as an Epic Hero. John Lasseter's and Andrew Stanton's work for representing an epic hero's journey shows that none of Flik's ideas are self-inspired. All of his ideas come to fruition only by collective effort. The film ends with the defeat of the overclass, as Flik inspires the ants to rise up and ensure that they get to keep all the "surplus" grain the ants...
