Today durning the gallery walk I learned a few things going on in the world. For example Nathaly, one of my peers, informed me about the life and struggles of a family of refugees. In her article " Fresno family represents the fight of Syrian refugees" she talked about a specific family in Syria, the Fresno family, who lived in a peaceful place in Syria with zero violence. As time passed the neighborhood that they lived in suddenly became unsafe. People were getting shot and killed.
The Fresno family decided to move. They lived in a refugee camp but in there they didn't allow them to work. They decided to come to the United States to seek peace. As they were trying to come in the U.S legally the United States did a background check on all of the members. All of this took two whole years. As people heared their story they said that the U.S was being too judgmental and needed to stop assuming people were terrorist based on their culture.
