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 persecuted 2, 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 quota 3 yet this year. You might still find a country that will take you.
Julie: I didn’t say that I wanted to renounce 4 my citizenship 5. 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!
