Social And Cultural Contributions Of Migrations And Globalization

Human migration can be influenced by various different stressors, whether it be by choice, in hopes of starting a new adventure, or by force, fleeing brutal persecution of a certain threat. Each individual has a unique story, all coming from different backgrounds and places around the world. However governing and political bodies often need certain labels and categories in order to define such a diverse set of people. Such legal definitions seem unnecessary or extensive due to the limitations they pose onto one’s identity, but they are a byproduct of sketching lines on the landscape and securing borders, protecting those who inhabit and belong.

Today, immigration is a heated topic and everyone views it in a different way. Immigration is the movement of people to a different country where they were not originally from. This should not be mixed up with emigration, which has a different meaning. While immigration is when someone joins a new group, emigration occurs when someone leaves that group. With that being said, there are many reasons why people immigrate to a different place. Some of these reasons may include better opportunities, to connect with families, or the freedom of religion. Whatever the reason is, immigration is an important reason and it affects everyone involved. Between 1950 and 2010, 92 million people moved from their original country to someplace else. They came

While it is common to hear about ‘migrants and refugees’, it is important to recognise that the two terms refer to very different groups of people. While both groups have effectively moved from one country to another, the circumstances leading up to that move are markedly different for each group.

Between 1700 CE and 1900 CE, the world saw radical growth and change. New inventions, technologies and innovations led to major shifts in power and new societies emerged. A common theme between these two dates is the migration of peoples for a variety of reasons. Some left their homelands due to push factors, like famine, war and disease. Some left due to pull factors, like economic prosperity, religious tolerance and freedom. From 1700 CE to 1900 CE, global migration experienced a continuity in long distance migration to the Americas as a result of a need for labor. Although there is a continuity, there are major changes in the push and pull factors for migration such as like the Irish Potato Famine and the migration of immigrants into Australia due to the promise of economic prosperity.

To begin it is helpful to understand that the word “migrant” is a rather contested concept, one that changes over time, and varies depending on the criteria used to assign it.(Raghuram & Erel, 2014, p.133)

Migration has been process for the whole history of human being. People roamed to seek for available livestock, new land for settlement and place for hunting and fishery. And these process has been processed until today around the world, despite for more reasons and subjects.

A family in poverty, seeking to escape their country, travel north to earn United States citizenships in order to achieve refuge. By the time they commute to the border, he realizes he must wait for his family to be allowed legal entrance into the United States. Soon enough, a professional-looking woman approaches the man, offering costly visas, but for a relatively small price. Sparking the family with relief and hope, their dream might actually come true. Over time, the family successfully settled in America, prepared to apply themselves for work. Within three months, the man receives a call from an immigration control agency, only to be notified that there is a problem with their visas. Only days later, the entire family is sent and deported

Nowadays migration is getting to be one of the dominant characteristics of the modern world since at the present moment that movement of people and migration of citizens from one country to another become a norm. Not surprisingly that such unparallel and extremely high level of migration results in substantial demographic, ethnical and socio-cultural changes in many countries of the world.

Cultural tradition is how humans differ from other species and shows a form of a higher thought process. In different parts of the world we can see the variation of cultures we have. Not all cultures and cultural traditions have made it to the present and we don’t know which will still be around in the future. These “lost” cultures and cultural traditions are typically remembered with a sense of a sorrow because they are not with us anymore. One of the various causes of cultural tradition loss is by new groups of people inhabiting or influencing the location of where these cultural traditions are seen, used, and practiced. Influences can be on the physical space, languages, and religious practices. The new groups of people, in this case, are immigrants that are coming into different states both by choice and by necessity.

Throughout history, people have migrated to on country from the other with their family, friends, and by themselves. They use different ways of transportation based on how far they are traveling and how they like to travel. However, without a reason, nobody likes to run out of his/her own country. Some people do not like to emigrate from their country whatever happened they want to stay where they grew up. As time changed, there are a lot of teenagers dreaming about going to a new country. Nobody can conclude that they are not right or wrong. On the other hand, many people do not like to emigrate even when the country political condition is bad. Consequently, the three main reasons why people are afraid migrating from country to the other country is because missing family members, afraid of new culture and afraid of transportation system.

Non-historical evidence is necessary in understanding human evolution since the earliest stages of our history occurred before writing existed. While later civilizations could record their own history, the account of early Homo sapiens is incomplete without information from before written language. Subsequently, there are no explicit records detailing how humans expanded from one continent to all seven, causing historians to need alternate sources of information in order to expand upon theories of evolution; the non-recorded remains of these civilizations provide answers to many of the gaps left in humans’ evolutionary narrative.

There is an argument that immigrants ought to conform to the locals’ social conventions when they have the intention of migrating to any exotic country at the present time. Although it appears reasonable, to the best of my knowledge, migrants should maintain their cultural identity in lieu of pursuing blindly the customs coming from foreign country.

Immigration is one of the oldest activities of the human race maybe since the first human left Africa long time ago. It is a human nature to move from one place to another seeking food, shelter, better living conditions, opportunities and protection from prosecution. Before the rise of the concept of modern states in the 19th century, most of the movement of people between territories was not heavy regulated or controlled. During the ancient civilizations time there were always some nomads who decide to join the cities and settle which can be argued as one forms of immigration. The most other visible forms of immigration are more related to conflicts, natural disasters, family reunification, and

Celts began to move across the continent and arrived in France in the 7th century BC. Paresis settled was called by a group of Celtic Gaul's in the third century here. Gaul and centuries of dispute between Rome, in the latter shooting control of the territory, ended in 52 BC. The Seine settlement counted some 10,000 inhabitants by the third century AD flourished as a Roman town Letitia (in French, at Lutes, from the Latin for "mid water dwelling"). The Great Migrations, beginning around the middle of the Third century AD with raids by the Franks and then by the Alemanii from the east, left the settlement on the south bank scorched and pillaged, and the residents then have fled to Ile de la Cite, has been enhanced by a wall of stone .

The Turks were the first Asian people to leave written records in their language. The first documents were from the eighth century. The Turks worshiped heaven and were shamanistic. in 552 the Turks which specialized in metalworking rebelled against their leaders, the Rouruan, who dominated central Asia through Mongolia. The eastern Turks fought among themselves. In the seventh century the Eastern Turks fought with the tang Dynasty and broke apart. In the eighth century the Uighurs formed a new empire in Mongolia which had close ties to Tang China. In the ninth century the Uighur empire was destroyed by the Kyrgyz which was another Turkish group.
