Migrating

Halloween: In class today, we had a little party for the first 5-10 minutes and different people brought candy, snacks, and decorations. We also reviewed the test we got back and took some notes.

Notes:

Why do people migrate?

push forces (leaving)

- civil war (there are wars constantly going on in different countries)
- environmental degradation
- unemployment or underemployment (no jobs = no money)
- religious or ethnic persecution (people get injured or have terrible lives when they express his or her religion)

pull forces (entering)

- better economic opportunity (better education to make a better life for yourself in the future)
- better health services (health insurance)
- religious freedom (you can either have whatever religion you believe in or no religion without hiding it)
- political freedom (being able to say bad things about certain people like the president without getting in trouble) (you won't get charged or go to jail for expressing your opinion in the United States and some other place)
