The Effects of Migration

The Great Migration was a massive movement of African Americans from the South to the North from 1863 to 1960. The largest spike in this migration occurred from about 1910 to 1920.

The Great Migration was a significant movement in history for the United States. The Great Migration was brought about for several reasons, many of them being factors that pushed African Americans out of the South, and pulled them up to the North. The harmless act of moving North was more than complicated and generated a lot of conflict in multiple aspects for both African Americans and White Americans. Despite the trouble and worry, a substantial number of African Americans migrated North to some of the most industrial areas looking for a better life and more opportunities.

The Great Migration brought about a massive redistribution of the African American population throughout the United States. It transformed black ways of life, art, and institutions, as well as the demographics and cultures of many American cities.

Thomas Jefferson believed that expanding westward was the key to a healthy nation. Forty percent of the population lived in trans -Appalachian west. Most people had left their homes from the East for a economic opportunity.

the “Black Belt” or the “Black Ghetto,” but an African American writer suggested calling it “Bronzeville,” a name that many residents found less insulting” (Chicago and the Great Migration).

The nature of western migration was good and bad. With out western migration America wouldn’t be what it is now. But if we had found a different way to deal with the Indians it could have happened with less blood shed. We could have upheld our part of the treats with the Indians. We could have found a way to live with them instead of kicking them out. Then we would have been able to use the knowledge they have since they lived there for so long. But the increase in western migration kicked the indians out of their land.

The “great migration” is a historical movement of approximately 1.3 million African Americans from the Southern to the Northern United States from 1910 to 1930, settling primarily in large industrialized cities such as New York, Cleveland and Chicago. A second wave of northward migration occurred from 1940 to 1970 and involved approximately 5 million African Americans. This historical movement provides an opportunity to explore differences in cognitive test performance in old age among the African-American community related to early life environment.

Jim Crow ruled in the south keeping African Americans subjugated to whites. Things like lynching or the burning of black businesses and towns due to them being more successful than their white competitors. Influential blacks such as WEB Dubois and Ida B. Wells advocated for blacks to move north and west. Things like racist memorabilia and movies such as The Birth of a Nation which helped revive the Klan. The movement was slow at first, only a few African Americans moved to the north and west at the time, slowly more and more were moving, then it became waves upon waves of blacks moving north and west, this became known as The Great Migration. As The Birth of a Nation reached number two on the charts, a renaissance was beginning in Harlem, New

In the south many factors influencing lead around 6 million people to migrate out of southern states in search for industrialized work in northern and western states of the United States. After emancipation, most blacks had been forced to become sharecroppers and tenant farmers, dependent on white land lords and enslaved by debts they complained (Ron Takaki Chapter 13). Although African Americans had their freedom the oppression, discrimination, and racism never ended within the south.

The majority in the United States believes that if all illegal Mexican immigrants get deported, then the United States will gain prosperity. However, the U.S economy would be negatively affected by their migration. Many people across the country, are organizing to withstand the deportation of the illegal immigrants.I personally connect with this situation because several of my loved ones are involved. Some people claim that illegal Mexican immigrants are taking Americans' jobs away. In reality, these people are willing to do the jobs that the citizens do not want to do. Half of the population of employees working in orchards or packing sheds are Hispanics. In comparison to the agriculture hard labor duties, housekeeping departments consist of about fifty percent of Hispanics. If all illegal Hispanics get deported, then the agricultural industries and housekeeping departments would decrease in production and income. Also, the amount of tax money that is collected annually would decrease, also affecting the economy. Even though the majority of the Hispanics are undocumented, they still pay

A few weeks ago, a picture about a dead boy on the beach let us pay attention to Migration waves. Governments have to consider how to limit migration trends because they think a large number of immigrants will lead to a terrible effect on local residents. Based on this point, some countries adopted some strategies to limit migration. They reduced some benefits and increased the difficulty to immigrants. Even some governments such as Japan government refuse to people to immigrate. Even though immigrants bring some benefits, governments are still afraid of the negative impact of immigration on the following three aspects: local market, wages and social stability. However, some facts and research show the terrible effect is not significant to these parts. And immigrants also bring some benefits to local residents.

In this respect, it is worthy of mention that such a situation with the migration is the result of the recent trend in the world economy which is characterized by processes which are generally called globalization. The process of globalization is overwhelming and involves practically all countries of the world with rare exceptions which

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.

Many people migrate from one country to another or within a country. There are different reasons why people migrate and there are also things that can stop humans from moving, humans signify it as barriers. Many people have complex issues mentally and physically when they migrate, there are also factors that attract or drive out people from a place.

¨Migration is an expression of the human aspiration of dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family.” - Ban Ki-Moon.
