Humanizing the refugee crisis | Brian Sokol | TEDxSanDiego
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 гру 2017
- There are more that 65 million people in the world today who are displaced from their homes due to conflict and persecution - more than at any time in human history. As a photographer who spent time in refugee camps and met the people who were forced from their homes, Brian Sokol underwent a personal transformation in understanding their stories, their dreams, and their humanity. It’s time we challenged our beliefs and preconceptions about the refugee crisis. Brian Sokol is an artist, photographer and author dedicated to documenting human rights issues and humanitarian crises worldwide. Since 2012 he has focused on telling the stories of refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and stateless people in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. His goal is to engender empathy and action in audiences across the lines of language, race, religion and culture. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
There is a big difference between refugee mentioned in this video and refugee who receives social allowances in Europe...
What is the difference?
Writing a Cheque takes away guilt, but paying attention to them looking at their faces for a second longer is priceless, makes you think and feel their pain, thank you Brian!
Whether or not you support the help for refuges in your country, this is worth listening to.
These situations are planned..created by the elitists groups.(The Vatican)part of their part of their depopulation plans .Prophecy being fulfilled proving we are in the last days. The greatest nation on earth needs to step in and prophesy shows they will open up their borders. Everyone deserves Respect,Peace,Security and a Hopeful future.....The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program.
Brian ,Sokol, Thankyou With All My Heart for Bringng This Magnificent Country to the for ,I Hope That Society Will Contribute to Solving its Problems ,Iam, Hissen, Daoud ,Sudanese
Yeah, all the world need is love, than the problems are solved...Unbelievable, how I idnt think of that before
It actually is. Imagine if everyone respected and loved each other. There would be no wars, there would be no poverty, there would be no discrimination of any kind. Everyone could live the life that he wants to live, if someone needs help you would help them and the other way around. How is this not a world everyone would want to live in? And how could you start to transform the current world into this utopia any other way but by being respectful and loving yourself? You cant change the rules of our society if you break these rules yourself all the time.
Amazing.
Thank you
As a refugee I can relate to everything Brian said, and I hope that this massage spread and people could consider those unfortunate people as human beings and not just statistics and definitely not a stereotype.
Waiting for the translation in the video.
All we need is love to survive and look into the things with an eye of gratitude and thankfulness towards the God.

I think people should really take into consideration that at one possible moment their great grandparents could have been a refugee. Their husband/ wife could have possibly been a refugee. Respect these people understand them. Always put yourself into someone else's shoes before you say something mean.

Actual refugee status is one thing, but you have to acknowledge the overwhelming abuse of it.
You like them that much, take them into your home! You can stick it mate as we're full to the brim!!!
First
Thanks, but no thanks
Too many eastern ideologies are incompatible with Western civilization, and too many of them want to keep those ideologies
Wrong
Aminneter Niks how is he wrong?
Zeleros71324 amen
That's why everyone is unique. Offering a helping hand doesn't hurts anyone
Germany Vlogs what? Do you actually not understand what I was saying?
Many eastern ideologies are direct threats to Western culture
*How Rome Fell in 3 Steps:*
1) Germanic tribes mass migrated into Rome due to attacks from Huns, et al.
2) Rome opened its borders
3) Migrants didn't stop pouring in. Rome became less Roman over time. It weakened. And then it fell. Forever.
Send. Them. All. Back.
No, thanks for refugees. I've seen hundreds of them in Budapeszt back in Sept 2015, saw them in Brussels and last thing i want is welcome them. Greetings from Poland.
