1. Review the Notes under the Migration and answer the corresponding questions – these do not need to be put on your website, but you do need to know these for the test:a. Migration Trends Powerpoint1. What is the difference between mobility and migration?Mobility: Change in residence (16% of US population moves annually)Migration: Permanent or semi-permanent change in residence crossing an administrative boundary. (more restrictive than mobility and involves a new activity system with a new job, friends, places, etc..) 2. How does the types of movers demonstrate that mobility is greater than migration?Because most movers end up moving shorter distances than originally planned and many stay in the same country and community.3. Give an example that shows why US mobility and migration rates are high.Americans move about 11 times in their lives and are free to do so. It is statistically shown once someone moves once they are more likely to move again. Land is also easy to develop and housing markets are open to all. Although still among the highest in the world, mobility has declined since 1950. 4. Why have mobility rates in the US declined between the 1940’s and 2000?More dual career households, higher level of ownership in homes, improved mobility encourages commutes over moving. With cities getting more congested and commutes taking longer this may reverse. 5. List and explain 2 possible reasons for the large variations in % born that reside in states.Because of the types and number of jobs that are available within states. And the education rates. 6. Why are highly educated people most likely to make long distance moves?\Because they are following a well-paying job or opportunity. They also feel more stable in making a new life. b. Global Migration Powerpoint1. What has occurred in the last half of the 20th Century to cause such a large % of people to move to another country?Growing Inequalities- move to increase living status Increasing Demographic pressure- areas such as china with tons of people cause people to leaveEnd of Cold War- massive shifts in European population Increasing ethnic and political strife- Middle East and other failing governments.2. Find a news article that discusses an issue related to guest workers in a EuropeanCountry and a Middle Eastern country. Describe the issues in each country.3. From the foreign born as % of European Populations slide, which countries will need to open up immigration to avoid economic stagnation? Why?All the countries under 5% should open their boarders along with countries that have not joined EU. It will create competition and increased business interaction. 4. Why is the African continent home to such a large number of refugees?Because boundaries drawn by Europeans do not always reflect ethnic or tribal boarders. 5. What is the final destination for most refugees?Most refugees are returned to place of birth. A small proportion are permanently resettled. c. Migration Streams and Counterstreams Powerpoint1. Discuss one example of a migration stream and counterstream in the United States.Migration Streams- highly channelized flow from a particular origin to destinationCounter Streams- Return movementAn example fo this is the blacks moving north after WW1 due to distrimination and income inequalities. It gave them opportunities for better jobs and better lives. After 1970 the trend reversed after race riots began in some urbanized cities and as the south continued to evolve. Whites also moved south at this time. 2. Visit the following website, a movie to watch that deals with a form of forced migration – human trafficking. Do not watch anything rated R while at school, use your best judgment when selecting a film (some are very graphic) and I would prefer you watch a documentary vs. a Hollywood production. Some films require you to purchase the movie so you could watch it with a group and split the cost or look for it on Netflix or Amazon Prime.Or Use the link to a Discovery HD Documentary entitled “21st Century Sex Slaves” You will not be able to watch it on school computers, but could watch it on your own computers or at home.3. Provide an original overview of the problem of Human Trafficking and state how well the movie/documentary addresses the problem. Do some research on the largest source and destination areas and describe the ways in which globalization has contributed to the proliferation of human trafficking. Put this on your website before Tuesday 3/3. The largest destination for human trafficking is in Bangkok. Throughout the whole world there are about 1.5 million sex slaves and over half of them live in Asia. Throughout the world one women or child is forced into sex every minute. They are tricked into joining by the need to help support their family and then they are blackmailed into staying. They feel if they leave they will put those close to them in danger. This is how the chain continues its downward spiral because women are more likely to trust the advice of other women in the situation. When they refer to sex trafficking they say “company” or another discreet word so as not to get in trouble. This movie covers human trafficking in great detail and paints a good picture in your mind of the problem and why it must be stopped.4.
