Why My Country Close Its Doors to Syrian Refugees

In light of the recent tragedy which took place in Paris, France, acceptance of Syrian refugees in Korea has resurfaced due to social and security point. Because of social and environmental aspects, I oppose to embracing refugees of Syria.
In a social part, embracing of refugees increase the economic burden of the country’s citizens who are unprepared or maybe even unwilling to pay these costs. Also, citizens sometimes build up a negative stance towards refugees due to unsure governmental regulations. Influx of refugees leads amount of benefits to the small number of corporations. There is a possibility that the benefits may cause numerical increase in GDP. However, generally, these advantages are not equally distributed. In the short terms, farmers, builders, local merchants and small businesses may take benefits from inflow of refugees. But it negatively affects to the poor class of the host country because of inflation and wage decrease caused by increase the number of refugees in the labor market. Poor class people could experience rising house prices and falling wages. Especially it is noticeable in some fields where semi-skilled workers and unskilled workers engage. Sometimes, it might lead degradation of their life quality[1].[2]
In a security part, refugees, as they do not have a full citizenship and a sense of belonging to society, they hold a higher rate of committing crimes. In addition, there is weak controls over refugees and insufficient sanctions governments set as references for them to follow. Although acceptance of refugees does not directly correlate with the increase of terrorism, it definitely would have an impact on the social and environmental environment which would contrast to that of the current Korea. In the case of Germany and France can be the example. It was a world-wide issue that German government announced to accept a large number of refugees. However, there are some citizens who are against with this decision. And the anti-immigrant mood leads to anti-immigrant crime. According to the AP(Associated Press), the number of crime is 567 that has been taken place near the refugee camp and committed directly to the refugees. It is three times more comparing with 198 of last year[3]. In addition, the terror threat towards the volunteers, human rights groups and politicians is increasing. As another example, France, the victim of IS bomb terrorism, has only 7.5%[4] the immigrants of Muslim but 60% of prisoners are Muslims[5]. This shows that although the country has accepted a small proportion of immigrant Muslims into their country, a large amount would havehas undergone suspicion or crimes to become imprisoned. This numerical value show that if our country don’t proper systems for refugees, embracing of refugees are definitely lead to problem.

Acceptance of refugees is a matter that should be taken in humanitarian point of view. However, as we can find in the case of previous example such as Germany and France, accepting refugees may lead to short-term problems even though it has many long-term positive side. Therefore, Acceptance of refugees needs to be prepared based on certain measures and comprehensive plans.

Acceptance of Syrian Refugees

In light of the recent tragedy which took place in Paris, France, acceptance of Syrian refugees in Korea has resurfaced due to social, security-wise aspects. Because of social and environmental aspects, I oppose to acppeting refugees of Syria. In an social aspect, acceptance of refugees increase the economic burden of the counties’ citizens who are unprepared or maybe even unwilling to pay these costs. Also, citizens sometimes build up a negative stance torwards refugees due to unsure governmental regulations. In a security-wise aspect, refugees, as they do not have a full citizenship and a sense of belonging to society, they hold a higher rate of commiting crimes. In addition, there is weak controls over refugees and insufficient sanctions governments set as refereces for them to follow. Although acceptance of refugees does not directly correlate with the increase of terrorism, it definitely would have an impact on the social and environmental environment which would contrast to that of the current Korea.

Production and Ownership of Knowledge

                Production and Ownership of Knowledge


Definitely blog writing help me to change my mind about production and ownership of knowledge. When we started our semester, Gary said “This will help you when you do your job acquirement”. First time, I didn’t understand what Gary’s intention. As I do Gary’s homework I understand what Gary’s purpose. I think Gary’s intention of blog posting is production and ownership of knowledge. Blog posting is Kind of symposium in the point of posting something public. This means that if you made great achievement you don’t make it public in anyway. It means nothing!! People don’t know what you’ve done. Same thinking is applied to blog posting. Blog posting means to me as a great achievement. If I do my work, this works made to public. This means ownership. Gary’s homework made me to think about knowledge ownership and my point of view is changed.
