Media Perspective and Place 3. Saturday, April 25, 2009. To tie our theme of movement/immigration to this week's reading, which traced the history women's rights from the late 19th century to today, I found some interesting news pieces about the incidence of runaway girls in Iran. Most of the articles I found were written in 2000/2001, but it is not unreasonable to think that this issue persists today. This BBC article. Was made in 2001 profiling the Reyhaneh center. Afghan Refugees in Iran. Besides the ...

Media Perspective and Place 2. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Says 5 million could experience extreme food shortages and possible starvation. Delivery of aid and water relief has been complicated as infrastructure and supply routes are under continued attack. While the focus on Afghanistan policy has been on the insurgency and political security, food security has been getting little attention. Deforestation, endangered species, land mines. Sorry, i'm a little late with this. This article talks about the effect...

Media Perspective and Place 2. Monday, April 20, 2009. Environmental impact of 9/11 worse than feared. The articles that I found talk a lot about the health effects associated with the 9/11 attacks. The video does not talk much about what the health effects were, but it does show how many sources said that the area was perfectly safe. Our lives here in the U.S. Here's the link (I finally got it to work). Http:/ www.afghan-web.com/geography/environment.html. Waging War on the Environment in Afghanistan.

Media Perspective and Place 3. Saturday, April 11, 2009. The article I found for this week, entitled Rot or Die: Iraqi refugees in Lebanon. The questions that arise in this situation, especially as the US is withdrawing from Iraq in the next few years is, who will take care of these people? Who is responsible for these immigrants and refugees? Is it neighboring countries, the international community, the US itself? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Media Perspective and Place 1.

Media Perspective and Place 3. Sunday, April 12, 2009. The Future of 4.7 Million Iraqi Refugees. In searching what different global authorities are doing about the Iraqi Refugee crisis I find mixed messages as always. Laurie's article inspired me to compare different reactions from non-governmental organizations. Her article was from Human Rights Watch which, in principle, is a similar organization to Amnesty International (AI). When browsing their site, I found a straight forward article. Basically, the...

It’s called Times get tougher for Afghan immigrants in Iran. Here’s another more recent article about the forced removal of Afghan immigrants ( Iran Expels Afghan Refugees. If these migrants are truly refugees, as in they applied and received status under the 1951 Convention relating to...
