Migration

Migration is a topic which affects people since hundreds of years. Especially, in recent years this issue has become hotly discussed because of the civil war in Syria connected with the refugees coming to Germany and other European countries. Those people flee from prosecution and insecurity in their homelands.
In particular, Germans have different opinions towards incoming refugees by the reason that they do not speak our German language and sometimes we are scared that terrorists come camouflaged as refugees to Germany. Often, they do not have any documents and that is why the German state is not able to identify whether people come from countries like Syria or Iraq where people are mostly welcomed in Germany and allowed to file for an application for asylum or from safe origin countries like Morocco or Algeria.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people who are working in an honorary capacity. This is essential because, for example, we do not have enough skilled teachers to teach refugees and I personally think, that learning the language of the country you live in is the first step towards the right direction. Without language, no education is possible. And without education, no good work is possible. In fact, refugees can get in a vicious circle when there is no one who cares for them. 

      According to the Federal Office lots of fled children come alone without their parents or any other relatives to Germany, therefore they need much more help for orientation and self-assurance to feel safe. Moreover, they must get in touch with new people for socializing. Everyone feels better knowing a person to talk to, especially when your family is not there. 

In terms of openness refugees can highly enrich our society and we should seize the opportunity to widen our view that is sometimes narrow-minded.
