Migration is happening all around the
world all the time. Migration comes in different ways. It affects people and
economies in different ways. Migration has been happening since the 1850’s in the United States, and longer for the rest of the world. Migration can take
different forms, one may be forced migration, another could be push pull
factors. Plus the people may just have wanted something different.
In globalization we watched a documentary called God Grew Tired of Us. The movie is that the movie is a
great example of forced migration and also the push/pull factors that lead people to migrate. First the
boys are force out of their home land by war. War is one of the leading causes
of forced migration. Then the boys went to a refugee camp for many years. The United
States then took 3800 of the "lost boys" and gave them the opportunity to
come and start a new life in America. Put yourself in their shoes do I stay
with my brothers or go and succeed. Push/pull factors have to have a push and a
pull, the boys had been pushed out by the United States for the opportunity, but
also the pull for the boys was getting out of the camp and starting a better
life.
I believe that globalization and
migration interelate very well together. Globalization is how the countries are
connected together across the world. Migration is just another way that the
countries get linked together. If of one person migrates to the United
States they don’t just bring their luggage they bring their whole culture with
them. Plus they also take their tax dollars away from the country that they
left so that will hurt the economy of the country.
Immigration is not all good we are
going to have future problems that surpass the problems that we have now. One
of the biggest problems that are going to happen is human trafficking is going
to get worse. Human trafficking is bad now I believe that it is because the United
States is so close. Now if you add the rest of the world to the U.S’s human
trafficking it will be easier for people to do it plus it will be cheaper also
shipping people overseas will become easier because the world is going to be so
close knit.
Migration and globalization are similar in the fact
that they are making the world closer. Migration is good for the people that
are in need of it such as people being forced out of their homes and needing a
place to call home. Immigration is also not the best thing for the world because
it is going to make human trafficking a worldwide problem which it already is,
but not as big of a problem as it’s going to be.
