Globalization

                This week we watched the movie “God Grew Tired of Us”. It was a great film on forced migration and how hard it is to live and support and to get back on your feet after your trying to gain back your strength.

                The movie is about the civil war in Sudan, the war had killed many thousands of men and women. Their main people to kill were the men and their sons. So all these kids infants and older had escaped and walked all the way down to Kenya to escape their countries civil war. So for many years they all stayed in a refugee camp to regain themselves so then when they got old enough they decided to move away to America to the land of the free. This was an example of a push pull factor. They were pushed out of Sudan so they got pulled to Kenya and America for a better life.

                There is also just migration, it happens when it gets to cold or bad weather happens is when thing migrate or just because they don’t like the religion or place there at so they migrate to a better place. People always migrate to warmer places in the winter and to better places in the summer.  Other reasons they migrate is because they can move to bigger and better places. In the movie they moved because they wanted to survive and find their family. Other reasons because they wanted to do something with their life so they could make enough money and find their families and see them again. Main reasons people will migrate to better places now days is because the place they live at now doesn’t have enough for what they want so they will move to a bigger city and go to school and get a good job.

                Effects of migrations are such as that when people are forced to migrate to a new place because there under attack or are being pushed away. So there economy will drop until they get back on their feet after they just lost everything they have. When people move away that’s just one less customer or buyer for a small business or a big business in their area. So if enough people would move then that place may close down and then sooner or later every small business may close. Like kids on farms they don’t always want to stay around and work on the farm so they move away and get a different job so then when there family can’t run the family farm anymore they have to sell it.

                In conclusion I feel that migration can be a bad thing but a good thing for globalization. It’s bad because people move away, but it’s good because they can be in somewhere good and work where they use globalization.
