ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING THE WORLD TODAY IS THE GROWING NUMBER OF REFUGEES. THE DEVELOPED NATIONS IN THE WORLD SHOULD TACKLE THIS PROBLEM BY TAKING IN MORE REFUGEES. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE?

At present, the number of refugees who arrive in European countries has increased a lot.  Most of them are from Syria because they are escaping from the war in their country. As I see it, the developed nations should help them more.

Firstly, nobody should be treated the way they are.  Although it’s true that we can’t take all of them in, we can’t remain insensitive to their situation.  Taking them in or not is the most controversial issue regarding refugees.  We forget that they are human beings like us and that if we were them, we would do the same.

However, we won’t overcome this problem by letting some in.  If we gave them a visa or a green card, we would have to cope with another problem: overpopulation.  So, maybe we should make an effort to improve the situation that encouraged the refugees to flee their country. In other words, they wouldn’t come to Europe if they were in better conditions there.
To sum up, the growing number of refugees is a problem which we should help solve all together.

It is known that due to the civil war in Syria, the number of refugees is increasing every day.  European countries have tried to reach a solution to this problem and some of them suggested providing shelter for them. But, is this the best solution to this problem?

Firstly, refugees are trying to escape from their own country not because they want to, but because it’s impossible to live in a country at war. In addition, they don’t have any other choice. Moreover, this situation is temporary, it won’t last forever, and so taking in some refugees in your country for a while could never be a bad idea.  Furthermore, if all European countries sheltered them, the problem would be less serious than it is now.

To sum up, I think that taking in refugees is a good solution to deal with the problem, but there are many other things that should be done too. I believe that only if people change their mentality, will we be able to face the refugee problem.

Refugees are one of the biggest problems nowadays. There are large quantities of people that are leaving their countries because of economic problems or wars. They are migrating to a Europe in crisis, which makes it more difficult to host them.

These refugees are devastated because of war, their homes have been destroyed and they need to flee their country. Europe doesn’t want them because it’s difficult to take in so many people who are injured, ill or in shock due to war. Most of them need the governments’ assistance but at the same time the unemployment rate will rise because they don’t know the language or aren’t able to work because they’ve lost a limb during the war. In order to help refugees, Europe is sending humanitarian help and giving money to countries in need like Greece or Turkey so that they can host refugees.

However, this won’t solve the problem because the origin is in the civil war in Syria and Daesh. Developed countries should solve their internal problems and this could be achieved if we stopped selling them weapons, with political actions and, if necessary, with a military attack.
