Today in class we got our graded worksheets back and the worksheet graded test. I did great on the worksheet but not the test. Our main topic is on migration and today we learned key issues about it. For example, where are migrants? Where do people migrate within a country? Why do people migrate? Why do migrants face obstacles? These are some big questions most people ask. The term that is most generalized term that refers to all types of the movements. We also learned that short-term and repetitive acts of mobility are referred to as circulation. Most immigrants relocate a short distance and remain the same country. This section really helped me when it said that migration was divided into two categories such as first international migration which is permanent move from one country to another. Second is international migration permanent migration within the same country. Another 2 types of things I needed to focus on was net in and net out. A fact I also learned today is that America has more foreign-born residents than any other country approximately 43 million as of 2010- growing by 1 million annually. This was very interesting to me because I was always wondering where we stand compared to other country’s with immigrants. I never understand the difference between the immigrants and migrants because they both seemed to have the same meaning but that wasn’t the case.
