Explain your answer using the map and/or text from the document.]]> 2018-10-25 14:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_raitano/7z5z9d15tw6i/wish/296983265 julie_raitano https://padlet.com/julie_raitano/7z5z9d15tw6i/wish/296995951 In 2015, millions of refugees from a civil war in Syria tried to flee to safety in Europe. The government of Iceland initially agreed to accept 50 refugees. One Icelandic citizen posted the following statement to Facebook: “Refugees are human resources, experience and skills. Refugees are our future spouses, best friends, our next soulmate, the drummer in our children’s band, our next colleague, Miss Iceland 2022, the carpenter who finally fixes our bathroom, the chef in the cafeteria, the fireman, the hacker and the television host. People who we'll never be able to say to: ‘Your life is worth less than mine.’” Compare this response to the one from the person in Richmond, Virginia. How are they similar and different? What ways are available to individuals today to help others in need in faraway places?]]> 2018-10-25 15:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_raitano/7z5z9d15tw6i/wish/296995951
