“…Mainstream news brings the idea of propaganda that the land only consists of radical idealism rooting to a single belief. Some researches support this argument such as Alfin et al (2018), Amiri et al (2015), Kelemen & Fergani (2020), Bagchi & Paul (2018), Lutz & Lutz (2015), and Tin et al (2022), showing that media discourse influences social cognition as illustrated by van Dijk (2003). This repetitive cycle of one sidedness information creates what Fairclough said as hidden power (2013, p. 14) converted into reproduced social power.…”

Lutz & Lutz (2015) sees that "many countries in the Middle East and North Africa have been at the center of this violence as the region has suffered from both domestic and international terrorist activities". Then, Kelemen & Fergani (2020) at the similar way points out that "the Greater Middle East could be considered one of the most vulnerable regions for the future development of Islamic terrorism".…”

Western perspective dominantly sees the Middle East in negative stereotypes. Many ways from many backgrounds start to criticize this perspective, including comedians utilizing comedy narration. This research aims at discovering how comedian represents Middle East and how the response manifests commenter’s attitude, applying descriptive qualitative research as a logical consequence that the data are in forms of stand-up performance transcription uploaded to YouTube and its sample comments from its comment column. Process of identifying Middle East representation and commenter’s attitude respectively utilizes Halliday’s transitivity and Martin & White’s appraisal system narrowed to attitude subsystem. The research results conclusions as follow. First, in terms of representation, the comedy narration provides an alternative platform to positively represent the Middle East, while second, commenter’s responses in attitude perspective mostly support the positive representation by showing their positive affection within themselves, favorable judgment in entity perspective, and affirmative appreciation to the happening event. This research attempt to see stimulated attitude after a representation in a specific social issue appears, while other researches documented in this writing integrate both theories at the same hierarchy. The relation varies in perspective of the audience stimulated by the discourse and who affirmatively experienced the discourse. At this point, comedy may have potency as a platform to pleasantly criticize sensitive issues

“…As the world entered into the new millennium, globalization has taken over the world which in turn has resulted into ethnic conflicts (Ishiyama, 2004), violence, civil wars, terrorism (Lutz & Lutz, 2015), migration and refugee crisis (Chimni, 2000;Richmond, 2005) in different components of the planet bypassing the normal notion of the global economy (Troeller, 2003). Though the idea of prioritizing individual security gained prominence after the publication of the UN report on human development in 1994, the crisis of individual security existed before that.…”

War has numerous repercussions for each gender. In the instances of war-induced displacement, both genders are usually subject to intensive risks in their journey as refugees, from reaching destined countries through dangerous routes to gender differences and inequalities they face in the host countries. The tales of agony and calamity shed light on the fact that the refugee crisis is very much a crisis for both genders not limited to one gender. Since the Second World War, the Middle East has been regarded as the world’s most conflict-prone region. Continuous Wars and civil wars have always raised questions about human threats and Syria is not exceptional. As a consequence of the Syrian civil war which was started in 2011, 13.5 million Syrians substituting for more than half of Syria’s population are deracinated, destitute or confined in difficult to access areas. Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled their nation in search of safety and access to essential amenities. Many Syrians choose to reach Europe other than Middle East countries as their destination to get asylum where they risk their lives by making the dangerous journey through the Mediterranean Sea route and both men and women face different refugee predicaments throughout their journey. At the same time, the European Union (EU) is playing a significant role in managing the Syrian Crisis, although it has been facing a remarkable advent of refugees and migrants. In 2015, the EU and Turkey officially followed a joint ‘Action Plan’, which mainly aimed to deter the gargantuan influx of outcasts and transients into the EU. However, the plan has faced a lot of criticism which argued that although the EU presented as a humanitarian actor in dealing refugee crisis, it is trying to push its responsibilities towards Turkey. Against this backdrop, this article has examined the crisis faced by the Syrian refugees after the adoption of the joint action plan. Further, it has analysed, if the said joint action plan has made their refugee journey more complicated in the EU by adding new challenges for both Syrian men and women differently.
