This time a round we have a pretty heavy topic, the Syrian Refugee Crisis. We did a pretty interesting activity in class that simulates social media and conversations through the Internet. In some ways it was eye opening.
One person had noted "not letting Syrians in the EU would solve the problem too". Now before I absolutely tear this statement apart, I'm going to try and prove this point. If the EU ignores the Syrian Crisis they no longer have to worry about what to do with refugees. I can't say anything more without contradicting myself. Now to tear it apart. To me, this statement screams ignorance. How could they just ignore an issue as major and close to home as this? That would ruin the EU's incredible reputation in the world an would project the idea that all Europeans are condescending. Which could be argued as true but that's a story for another day. The EU would no longer be looked up to, it would be looked down upon. I guess the take away is people have very, very different opinions and no opinion is wrong. It is simply just an opinion. Until next time, Cody
