Seeking Asylum1 

Julie: The government is out to get me. I feel like I don’t have any real freedom and everything I do is being monitored. 

Ed: Maybe you should move to another country. 

Julie: I guess that’s one solution. 

Ed: Yes, you should seek asylum in another country. 

Julie: Become a refugee? I’m not sure I want to do that. 

Ed: Well, if you feel like you’re being persecuted2, you should look for other options. 

Julie: That seems a little extreme. 

Ed: People who are being treated unfairly because of their political opinions or religious beliefs have the option to emigrate. 

Julie: I’m not sure I’d go that far. 

Ed: I urge you to think about it. Other countries have resettlement programs for refugees and not every country will have reached their quota3 yet this year. You might still find a country that will take you. 

Julie: I didn’t say that I wanted to renounce4 my citizenship5. I was just letting off steam. 

Ed: That’s the problem with you young people these days. You have no follow-through, and no courage of your convictions. You all need to man up!
