A refugee is an individual that leaves their native country and is unwilling or unable to return due to political, social, or religious reasons. They may be forced to leave their home country due to war, some type of disaster, famine, or a variety of other political or religious reasons. Refugees seek shelter in another country because they fear the climate of their home country and feel compelled to get out. They often are unwilling to return to their home country after leaving and ask for help from other countries, hoping to get protection and ultimately citizenship in a climate that is much safer to dwell in. In times of political or religious wars, you most often see refugees turning to other countries for help and a way out.
