Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person who has a well-founded fear of being persecuted for various reasons such as race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion may become a refugee. A refugee is someone who is forced to flee their country to seek protection and safety in another country. A displaced person is someone who has been forced to leave their home due to conflict, but they haven't crossed an international border. A gypsy is an ethnic group of nomadic people who live mainly in Europe, but they are not necessarily refugees or displaced people. Patriotism refers to love and devotion to one's country, but it is not related to seeking protection as a refugee.
