REFUGEES - Michela - 5°E




Every year, many people leave their home country.


This happens because people cannot live in dignity and quietly in their country as their life is in constant danger.


The countries that host them are often disappointed because they focus on the differences and they forget we are all human beings.


Refugees usually do underpaid works, jobs that local people refuse, the 3-D work (Dirty, Dangerous and Difficult) ones.


Their presence increases the global consumption and the development of economy.


Receiving countries are often afraid of different cultures because they don't spend their time trying to get to know them.
