As I read over the article Crisis, Hot Spots, and Paper Pushers: A Reflection on Asylum in Greece  I was repeatedly hit with the idea of Greece being a “hot spot” now although migration has been happening for decades. It led me to the idea that often the migrant and refugee “crisis” is being treated in the same way as we treat everything in pop culture. There is never an effort to solve the problem or aid in the beginning but once it builds up people tend to over hype it.  This model of thinking is similar to what Cabot quoted in her reading “On Facebook, people from places like California post their plans to fly to Greece to provide humanitarian support; they crowdsource their efforts on GoFundMe pages. But, frankly, this all seems to me to be coming a little late.”  This is not to say that there is anything wrong with aiding and providing humanitarian assistance but what worries me is the lack of care for the root problems that occur in the system. The definition of pop culture is in regards to what is in the “in”. I worry that after a while people will stop caring about the lives , human rights and resettlements of the migrants and move on to their next cause or something else that will give them a sense of purpose about their lives. This is scary because while westerners and influential peoples thoughts may go away, the “crisis” will not. There will continue to be people who are denied a right to a better life and although it is late in the game I am glad there is help being offered but I worry for the possibility of when there is a lack of care and regard to the lives of many people.
