52. –Write three (3) essays about migration.
–Use your notes and all worksheets we
used this week:

53. –Question 1: 100 words minimum
• What push/pull factors directly impact
migration patterns? Cite examples to
support your thinking.

54. 1. What push/pull factors directly
impact migration patterns?
–¶1-There are many factors that affect
migration patterns. Push Factors are
situations that “push” a person to migrate. For
example,
(now talk about a few)
–¶2-In addition to push factors there are pull
factors. These factors “pull” a person to
migrate. For example, (now talk about a few)

55. 2. How do ESPN factors affect
migration and immigration patterns?
–There are many ESPN factors that affect
migration patterns. Many people migrate for
economic reasons. For example, coming to
America because of job opportunities is an
economic reason. Another reason is social.
(now talk about Social, then Political, and
finally eNvironmental. Use your ESPN chart
from the pictures we did in class.)

56. 3. How did Forced Migration affect
Africa AND the Americas?
–Forced migration was a terrible tragedy that
seriously affected the entire African continent.
It also affected the Americas and the
Caribbean. Let’s talk about Africa first. Forced
migration was caused by (now use your
cause/effects chart on forced migration, the
movie Amistad, and your knowledge to finish
the answer.)
–Forced migration also affected the Americas.

59. Where do People Migrate?
Key Question:

60. Global Migration Flows
• Between 1500 and 1950, major global
migration flows were influenced largely by:
– Exploration
– Colonization
– The Atlantic Slave Trade
• Impacts the place the migrants leave and
where the migrants go.

61. Major Global Migration Flows
From 1500 to 1950

62. Regional Migration Flows
• Migrants go to neighboring countries:
- for short term economic opportunities.
- to reconnect with cultural groups
across borders.
- to flee political conflict or war.

63. Economic
Opportunities
Islands of
Development –
Places within a
region or country
where foreign
investment, jobs,
and infrastructure
are concentrated.

64. Economic
Opportunities
In late 1800s and
early 1900s,
Chinese migrated
throughout
Southeast Asia to
work in trade,
commerce, and
finance.

65. Reconnecting
Cultural Groups
About 700,000 Jews
migrated to then-
Palestine between
1900 and 1948.
After 1948, when the
land was divided into
two states (Israel and
Palestine), 600,000
Palestinian Arabs fled
or were pushed out of
newly-designated
Israeli territories.

66. Jerusalem, Israel: Jewish settlements on the West Bank.

67. National Migration Flows
• Also known as internal migration
- eg. US, Russia, Mexico

68. Guest Workers
• Guest workers – migrants whom a country
allows in to fill a labor need, assuming the
workers will go “home” once the labor need
subsides.
- have short term work visas
- send remittances to home country

69. Refugees
A person who flees across an international boundary because of a well-
founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion,
nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.

70. • Subsaharan Africa
• North Africa and Southwest Asia
• South Asia
• Southeast Asia
• Europe
Regions of Dislocation –
What regions generate the most refugees?

71. The Sudan –
Fighting in the Darfur region of the Sudan has generated thousands of
refugees. In eastern Chad, the Iridimi refugee camp is home to almost 15,000
refugees from the Darfur province, including the women in this photo.

72. Imagine you are from an extremely poor country,
and you earn less than $1 a day. Choose a
country to be from, and look for it on a map.
Assume you are a voluntary migrant. You look at
your access to transportation and the
opportunities you have to go elsewhere. Be
realistic, and describe how you determine where
you will go, how you get there, and what you do
once you get there.

73. How do Governments Affect
Migration?
Key Question:

74. Governments Place
Legal Restrictions on Migration
• Immigration laws – laws that restrict or
allow migration of certain groups into a
country.
– Quotas limit the number of migrants from each
region into a country.
– A country uses selective immigration to bar
people with certain backgrounds from entering.

75. Waves of Immigration

factors create waves of immigration.

76. Post-September 11

77. One goal of international organizations involved
in aiding refugees is repatriation – return of the
refugees to their home countries once the threat
against them has passed. Take the example of
Sudanese refugees. Think about how their land
and their lives have changed since they became
refugees. You are assigned the daunting task of
repatriating Sudanese from Uganda once a
peace solution is reached. What steps would you
have to take to re-discover a home for these
refugees?

78. This was the original TG for push/pull
Think about a type of migration
List the push and pull factors.
Then, write a letter in the first person (if you
were not involved, pretend you were your
grandmother or whomever) to another family
member at “home” describing how you came to
migrate to your destination.
