Additional resources
Hi. I saw that you were looking at including Syrian refugees as an example in your chapter, the UNHCR has a web document that may be useful to you in explaining the Syrian refugee crisis.

Asylum Seeking in The Pandemic
Hi, I suggest that under the heading 'asylum seeking in the pandemic', you could discuss how the 1951 convention was developed at a time following WWII where the environment that we are currently living in was not considered, so the four grounds for seeking asylum (race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group) don't reflect many of the motivations for seeking asylum today. --U3201178 (discuss • contribs) 07:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Use of case study
Hi. I think it will be beneficial if you make a case study. A place where I found the case study to be particularly necessary was for the section of Maslow's theory. You jotted down an example, but I think it would be better if you use a case study instead. Using real life examples of refugees in your explanations would further strengthen your content. Stories and quotes of refugees talking about why they sought refuge outside their home country, their motivations, struggles and emotional state of mind would refine your book chapter. --Fiddausi Husseini (discuss • contribs) 09:29, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Reasons for seeking asylum
Hi, just wondered whether it would be more pertinent to use a case of climate change asylum-seeking as opposed to black lives matter. Not diminishing from the importance of the BLM movement but i haven't seen any examples of it being used as a reason for seeking asylum whereas I believe that in the future climate refugees may be a big problem due to the lack of water and rising sea levels. I've included a possible case study if you would like to use it. https://www.climatechangenews.com/2020/01/29/un-ruling-climate-refugees-gamechanger-climate-action/

What are the motivations of asylum seekers?
Consider adding a sentence or two in the overview section of your page, that clearly identifies the motivations of asylum seekers. After reading the book chapter, I could not find any clear information that stated the direct motivations of asylum seekers. There are multiple sections such as the social dominance theory and mental health section that discuss the challenges that asylum seekers face and those motivations. However, you may benefit from clearly identifying in a few sentences what motivates asylum seekers. This may help you communicate your ideas clearly and effectively to the reader :) The conclusion does a good job of clearly summarising the motivations, however it could be made a little clearer in the relevant sections even through topic sentences possibly. Overall a great book chapter and very informative. Amin Nazzal ([[User :
