Subculture of violence through the perspective of the refugee crisis “The people in flight from the terror behind; strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

T

he word “crisis” goes back to the Ancient Greek history. Its meaning varies through the flow of time, as it can be used in the context of law, in a religious context (Judgement Day in Greek language is phrased as Ημέρα Κρίσης – Day of Crisis), in the medical sciences, with the meaning of the more dangerous point of an illness, and so forth. But of course, it is also used as a historical change benchmark, with a positive or a negative outcome.
