about the Syrian refugees, how they could affect the United States, and how we could help them. Before we can truly make a decision, we have to know a little about their culture. The Syrians are caught in a civil war. This war began in 2011, which means bombings, shellings, and police house raids have been a part of their culture for five years. It takes 21 days to form a habit. In these five years, Syrian refugees have established a habit of violence. If we invite Syrian refugees into our country

Approach adapted in the articles The article “The visual dehumanisation of refugees” by Roland, David, Emma and Xzarina applies the interpretive approach of qualitative research.

It typically calls for the need to explore, explain and understand reality and it is qualitative in nature (Gratton and Jones, 2004, pp.28). The researchers can apply methods such as surveys

I have dedicated my first eight months in this position to helping meet this target while upholding strict processing requirements for departing refugees. Resettling refugees one-by-one is labor intensive.

We are not saying that we don’t think refugees shouldn’t be let into other countries, we are stating that the countries denying them shouldn’t have their membership revoked.
