Speaking about a problem as the situation of the asylum seekers is complex for manifold reasons as it is bounded with many different aspects regarding our current society. It concerns the political situation of our world and includes social and economic problems in many countries.

In this work, we are supposed not to analyse all problems related with the rights of asylum seekers, but we are going to focus on the perception of these people that the danish society has.
