Today in class we got our quizzes back and I got a 100 which I was not shocked by because I saw it on Veracross over the break. Then we started a new unit called Migration. While we were writing the teacher went over the layout of the rest of the semester which if you really think about it, it is right around the corner. Here are some of the notes that we took in class today below.
- Mobility is most generalized term that relates to all types of movement
- Short term and repetitive acts of mobility are referred to as circulation
- Ravensteins law is for the distance that migrants typically move
- Most migrants relocate a short distance that remains within the same country
- The is international migration which is the permanent move from one country to another(voluntary, forced)
- Internal migration is the permanent move within the same country
- approximately 9% of the world's population are international migrants
- Global pattern reflects migration tendencies from developing countries to developed countries
- The US has more foreign- born residents than any other country, approximately 43 million as of 2018 and grows by 1 million annually
- Colonial settlement, mass European immigration, Asian and Latin American integration
- A permanent move to a new location
- Difference between the number of immigrants and number of emigrants is a place's net migration
The key ideas....
- Where are migrants distributed?
- Where do people migrate within a country?
- Why do people migrate?
- Why do migrants face obstacles?
All in all today's class went pretty well and we are only 28 days away from Christmas which is exciting after we finish our exams.
