The Syrian Refugee Crisis is a cause close to my heart. It was a pleasure to hear Professor Holly Case talk about the issue and provide so many interesting perspectives on it and also explain the Spaceship Earth world view analogy. A mass relocation brings about controversial politics in play as often times the citizens of the host country can have very strong opposing views. As in Hungary, the prime minister Victor Orban has taken a harsh stance on allowing refugees and works to gain support for his view.

However, other Hungarians such as the Two Tailed Dog political party has been very anti-Orban and has been working against government propaganda satirically. Xenophobia is an unfortunate reality the Syrians refugees have to face and it is especially sad that the hostility is state-sponsored. Interestingly enough, this divide on whether refugees should be allowed can also be seen throughout the various posts on this blog by Rose Scholars themselves.
