Migration

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.
