Today in class we talked about the essay that we have to write for the exam and how it is due in the beginning of class on Friday and no later we also took notes, some of the notes that we took were...
- Immigration concerns in Europe
- Population growth in Europe fueled by immigration from other regions of the world, a trend disliked by many Europeans
- Biggest fear is that the host country's culture will be lost, because immigration:
- adhere to different religions
- speak different languages
- practice different food and other cultural habits
- Hostility to immigrants has become a central plank of some political parties on many European countries
- Immigrants blamed for crime, unemployment rates, and high welfare costs
- Characteristics of Migrants
- Ravenstein noted:
- Most long-distance migrants are male
- Most long-distance migrants are adult individuals rather than families with children
- Most long-distance migrants are young adults seeking work rather than children or elderly people
