Introduction
The
number of Refugees is on the rise throughout the world.
This is an issue which should be addressed by all Nations.
I chose
this issue because i thought it was a major issue to study.
People die of starvation from trying to save there lives.
They also become homeless. Most people die from freezing
to death during winter days.
The
important of this issue is that if we start to Negotiate
our problems rather than using violence then maybe everybody
will/or can stay in their home country. If we don't Negotiate
our problems then people will be forced out of their homeland(at
a result of war)then they will go to another country they
are not pleased with.

Response
All
the possible solutions to my problem are Negotiating, Refugee
camps, relocation of displaced people and emergency shelters
for the homeless.
The
solutions that have already been tried are refugee camps,
relocation of displaced people and emergency shelters for
the homeless.
No,
not all of these solutions are working because there are
too many refugees immigrating and not enough room in the
Refugees' camps. Sometimes they tell them to go back where
they came from.
All
the alternative solutions I can think of are making the
Refugee camps bigger, or even building more Refugee camps
so all the Refugees have a place to stay until they are
relocated or go back to their homeland.
Negotiating
their problems instead of using weapons will be a good alternative
solution because then there will be no Refugees running
for their life and also on other countries.
Yes
there are steps and actions that could be taken in our local
community and they are increasing awareness to local newspaper
and fund raising.
You
can increase awareness of Refugees crisis through the media,
United Nations, supporting international organisations and
using the internet.
