         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article talks about multiple different stories of people being displaced and not a specific place, more like our planet.<br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>The article shows what we can do as people, and it shows what governments could do for refugees. It also talks about what refugees are and how they come about in our world, mostly because of natural disaster, persecution, and war. It also defines what refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers are. It states that 70.8 million people have been forcibly displaced by conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. There are almost 26 million refugees currently on the planet, and 84% of them are being hosted by developing countries. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>This is related to our class because we learned about what refugees are and how them being displaced is difficult and how often it happens. It relates to my topic because it gives a great overview of what refugees are and shows how we could support them. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This refugee crisis is happening in Afghanistan and pushes all these people into Iran, Pakistan, and Europe. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>During 2017 the United Nations estimated about 1,100 people per day where displaced and many of the people who where displaced where moved more than once. The article also talks about how the Mercy Corp is trying to help the refugees in the country by helping farmers grow better crops, improving economic opportunities for youth and helping women and girls get opportunities for education and work.<br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>This is related to class because it shows an example of what a refugee crisis looks like if there are millions of refugees from a war-torn area. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is happening in Europe, most specifically people leaving places like Tunisia and Libya and coming across the Mediterranean to Italy and Malta. Also, people arriving in southeastern Europe from mostly Syria.<br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>The article is about how the pandemic has worsened the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe. Poor countries experiencing bad economies and high unemployment went off the brink during the pandemic and many people are fleeing these countries to Europe so that they can get food and provide for their families. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>We talked briefly about how refugees and alike are treated poorly, and this is not different. Countries like Italy that experience high numbers have blocked boats coming into ports and forced others to stay on their ships for the mandatory quarantine period. This led to a lack of food and water, along with people dying of health issues and being detained for almost 8 weeks. <br><br></div>]]></description>

These people are in refugee camps from a neighboring country and have been provided with some levels of food and water and supplies to help them in their time of need, but now that more conflict has made it to their doorstep its causing more of an issue for them because they will most likely be displaced again.<br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>This is related to refugees and what we have learned in class because it shows the issues that refugees can face after fleeing their country, they could be displaced a second time if they do not leave the area completely, especially in some parts of Africa because most refugees are in Africa. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Refugees and uprooted people have almost doubled in the last decade. </title>
         <author>jacksonanthonymartinez</author>

         <description><![CDATA[The video talks about 4 different stories in all different countries that give an understanding of what are different reasons people are uprooted and forced to flee their native country and become a refugee seeking asylum somewhere else. 

Around 1% of the world population is currently uprooted and it has never gotten to this point before in history. In the past decade, statistics have shown that the number of uprooted people in the world has almost doubled, from 41.1 million in 2010 to 79.5 million as of 2019. 26 million of these people are currently refugees. 150,000 refugees where children without any family and completely alone. 

This in my mind is related to global mobility and refugees because we know these people are displaced for any number of reasons, but the natural movement of people away from these areas and into other countries is exactly why places like the United States have a humongous population of many different kinds of people. Many Irish people where forced to leave their country and come to America because of the lack of food during the Irish potato famine.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In Syria we see people constantly being displaced and refugees fleeing the country<br><br>The Syrian civil war that has been going on inside the country since 2011 has caused one of the largest humanitarian crisis’s of our time. Almost a decade into the conflict and we see 70 percent of Syrian people living in extreme poverty on less than $1.90 a day. Nearly 12 million Syrians still today need humanitarian aid. The Syrian government has been slowly getting their territory back since 2015 but this stops any humanitarian aid in those areas where the war is still raging on.<br><br>The Syrian refugee crisis is a perfect example of what we learned in class for reasons why people would be displaced and go to other countries. Not only is there an economic aspect of it already, but the violence is too much, and it has forced everyone in those areas to flee or die. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Jewish people in Europe during WWII</title>

         <description><![CDATA[World war 2 during the late 1930’s and well into the 1940’s saw a huge spike in refugees and people fleeing countries for safer places. Germany invaded France and Poland, along with countless other countries creating a huge amount of displaced people. At the end of the war it was Germany that had been invaded and most of its people displaced from constant fighting. 

The article dives into exactly where the Jewish population of Germany and the countries it invaded fled too and why. Many countries where scared to take on this large amount of people in the beginning of the war and in America they wanted nothing to do with European problems and refugees. 

This connects to our class because it shows how poorly people treated refugees even in times of great need. And because it shows the themes of mobility that we talked about, with people moving to Palestine and from Germany to the U.S.

 My great grandmother was Jewish and was born and raised in Germany, she fled the country after her parents and family where killed by the Nazis and lived the rest of her life in America.

         <title>Covid-19 is hurting refugees and no one is talking about it. </title>

         <description><![CDATA[This article talks about what is going on in the world for migrants as a whole during the corona virus pandemic. Refugees in camps are getting sick from covid-19 and these camps around the world are becoming their own hotspots because of how close everyone is together. Millions of children are stranded in foreign countries and separated from their family because of border restrictions and travel bans. Governments around the world are trying to deal with other issues related to covid-19 like overflowed hospitals and the economy taking a dive during march and April, but are failing to see the lack of resources and supplies that are being given to these refugees and people who are still being displaced by violence especially in south Sudan and Syria. 
This touches of aspects of borders between countries, especially today with everyone’s borders closing because of the global pandemic. And it also talks about refugees and the mobility of those refugees around the world.

         <title>British fear of Migrations</title>
         <author>jacksonanthonymartinez</author>

         <description><![CDATA[This article talks about what is happening recently in the United Kingdom with refugees arriving.

It dives into how the powers controlling the right in England have used peoples fears to go for a power grab. Fear tactics have made most British people afraid of migrants coming across the water on small boats and entering their country, but in reality that only accounts for .59% of the actual migrants into the country. France alone has tripled the number of refugees the U.K. has taken on but still feels it is necessary to scare its own people for power. Some powers that be are trying to scare people into thinking these refugee crossings are the start of an invasion and they look like an embarrassment to the world.

This connects to the idea of moral panics that we learned about in class. A very interesting point the author makes is “Moral panics are manufactured outrages: they have to be made, nurtured, and repeated ad nauseum” and that makes you think about how the media and politicians have used fear tactics to scare people into supporting them.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article is about the United States and their immigration detention system. <br><br>America detained over 500,000 people in a system of jails and detention centers. Immigration and customs enforcement also know as ICE oversees overseeing this all. They are known for their appalling record of abuse, denying medical assistance and many people have died under the care of ICE. They deny people lawyers and split family up and sperate children and parents at the border. This is terrible and we as a society should not allow this system to continue hurting people trying to fine safety or a better life.<br><br>This connects to Immigration detention that we learned about and is a real example of what is going on in the united states today. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article talks about how refugees have problems around the world and gives some nonspecific examples of different migrant groups from a plethora of different countries.<br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>Basically, what the article does is it shows how refugees and certain aspects of mobility are related and how that affects other countries. A difficult topic that is brought up is that usually when refugees leave their countries on their own to escape any religious persecution or violence, go to another country that has its own issues, and when that is realized they leave again. This second move is called secondary movement and happens when the new area is not viable to live in either. Secondary movement can create many other issues including hurting the mobility strategies bring into question and hurt the refugee regime itself, people should listen to the refugee regime and make a decision with that and not go off on their own. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>This article connects to the idea of geographic mobility because it talks about the moving pattern of refugees when displaced. This also talks about refugees as a whole and what they tend to do that hurts the system that is trying to help them. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In Matamoros, Mexico there is a pop-up school for asylum seekers trying to enter the United Sates. The school before the global pandemic was teaching children there basic things like reading, writing and math. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>The article Goes on to mainly explain how well the online part of the school is doing now that corona has stopped all of there in person classes with the kids. Now people from anyway can teach these kids via zoom and has unlocked many people to meet the kids. <br><br></div><div> <br><br></div><div>This connects to our border system and allowing people into the country because it shows what people must do when we take too long to let them in. It also connects to refugees and mobility because its about the people who are trying to enter America and flee any economic or violent situation, they are in.  <br><br></div>]]></description>
