Describe and account for the main patterns of migration since the 18th century.
Describe and account for the main patterns of migration since the 18th century Migration in the UK has shown many patterns since the 18th century. But until the 19th century there was very little migration in Britain. This was due to many things at the time. Unlike today back then infrastructure was very basic. Travel was difficult across difficult, which meant that, if you did want to migrate to another region of the UK, it would have been very difficult. Unawareness was a great factor in the little migration. Many people, especially in northern England were very ignorant about places that were not local, as everything they needed was there for them, people did not want to know about other cities in the country, what was there for them etc. Agriculture was the main industry at this time, so many people did not have a reason to want to migrate, jobs were good, money was steady, and people were happy. The 19th century saw the beginning of something huge in British history, the industrial revolution. This resulted in huge scale migration, most of which was internal rural to urban. For agricultural workers the invention of mechanical machines meant labour forces were reduced, therefore people ere forced really to migrate to the urban areas, where factories and works needed labourers, and where money was good. Massive industrial towns, the likes of Sheffield, Manchester and
Migration - quotes showing pull/push factors bringing people to Britain
Britt Mayers Pull Factor For Britain England is a very free country, and that is why a lot of people hope to go there. There are lots of pull factors for England but some are: Culture Jobs Education Landscape Health Care Rich Country Freedom. Actual or perceived persecution is the main reason for migration (push factors) with people choosing to leave their home countries rather than move to particular destinations. People have an image of Uk, as a safe haven where there can be done no wrong here is some evidence, showing the reasons for the images. Political climate of UK "people are not fighting. No violence around. It's a good place to live." (Female, Rwanda) "I hear only little bit {about Britain before leaving Romania}. I know you have freedom in ...Britain. You have the right to say things... (Male, Romania) "{I knew} it is a democracy...you can think what you want... it's a free country. Everyone has heard that. (Male, Iran) • Colonial ties "I decided to go to London because my second language is English. I can manage. If I go to Germany or France, or Holland, I couldn't manage, because I have to learn that Language. London is no problem." (Male, Sri Lanka) "Our traditional culture is mainly British influenced. For example... we wear white wedding dresses. That's not in our religion ad it's not really in our Somali traditional culture,
1970's forced migration of Ugandan Asians to the United Kingdom.
Madhav Manek 3M6 25th April 2003 A Migration Case Study Topic: 1970's forced migration of Ugandan Asians to the United Kingdom Idi Amin, the head of Uganda armed forces, came to power in February 1971 in a relatively bloodless coup d'état while the President of Uganda, President Milton, was attending a Commonwealth Leaders Conference in Singapore. Amin initially was a General in the British army. The initial feeling of great happiness and well being demonstrated that Obote's measure of popularity with the Asians in Uganda was low. Idi Amin's astounding ignorance of the rule of law and how to govern a nation and to enhance and improve the well being of his peoples came to light incrementally. Idi Amin for the first 18 months indicated that there was no problem with the Asian Community and there was no known conflict or public scandal that might have explained the bombshell he dropped on the 5th August 1972. On that day in 1972 the lives of all the people living in Uganda were radically changed some for the better others for the worse. The main idea of this plan of Amin's was to make Uganda at first but then the whole of Africa purely for Africans. He wanted no foreigners especially Asians and Jews. He also didn't want the British to try and take over any part of Uganda. Idi Amin gave the
Speech on the Language of Migration Debates
Transfer-Encoding: chunked English ‘Language of Migration’ Speech Hundreds. Thousands. Tens of thousands. Threatened, hunted and persecuted without mercy. Violated and robbed in broad daylight. Driven from the very confines of their households. This is the story of a people terrorized by monsters like Bashar and Baghdadi. It is a tale of death, destruction and destitution. But most importantly, it is a chronicle of hopes destroyed across countless borders. Fellow citizens, I stand before you as an individual who understands what these refugees are going through and I stand before you as a voice for these humans, urging us as a community to pay heed to their cries for help. Humane? Selfless? Believers in international law? Mark my words, ladies and gentlemen. Go and look at the countless families stranded between borders. Go and look at the racist attacks against refugees in Austria. Go and look at the battered remains of Aylan Kurdi on the Mediterranean shore. They will tell you that we are not worthy of these titles. You have no further to look than your daily newspapers and television. Their use of language has dehumanized and marginalized the people they seek to describe. Their use of words such as ‘cockroaches’, ‘barbarians’ and ‘animals’ have had as much of an effect on the lives of those fleeing violence in Syria and Iraq as that of the use of
Rural urban migration in the developing world.
Introduction The world's cities are undergoing an urban revolution. Population rates are soaring in mainly developing or underdeveloped cities. Consequences of this population rise will affect the people living in the cities and their standard of living. More and more people are moving to cities from rural areas for many different reasons and this is what is contributing to the urban change being experienced globally today. The developing cities of the world are growing at the most rapid rates, {see figure 1.1} compared to industrialised countries. The reason for this is that these cities do not have a lot of planning and control put forward by the government as the governments are always financially unstable and unprepared to suitably satisfy the needs of its city. Some people have been forced to leave their previous home (in rural areas) due to war, famine or changes in agriculture. They may have lost their jobs due to machinery. There may have been a rural drought. In the city there is more employment available. Often, these jobs offer a better salary. There are also usually better education services in cities compared to those in country areas. RESULT OF MIGRATION TO CITIES However, the outlook of more people living in (or moving to) cities seems to be that pollution in these areas will rise, crime will increase, overcrowding will become evident and disease and
Theoretical Analysis of Narrative of Migration - example of a Philippine immigrant to the UK.
Theoretical Analysis of Narrative of Migration Hannah is a migrant from Philippines who came to UK in 1985. This analysis will review the original narrative of migration and determine the topics that will be examined in depth. In addition, the analysis will explore the historical and socio-cultural aspects of Philippine migration and the formation of Filipino diaspora in the UK. The concept of identity and the idea of homeland and hostland will be analysed in the context of diaspora community. Furthermore, this analysis will reflect on the issues related to cross-cultural transmission of values and identify the influence of diaspora communities in contemporary British society. Hannah migrated to UK together with her mother and three brothers as dependents of the father who came few years earlier for employment in London. According to available data of Philippine Embassy in London (PEL), there are approximately 250,000 Filipino migrants in the UK (PEL, 2011a). However, the original narrative lacks detailed description of the Filipino diaspora in the UK to support a conclusive definition of this community. This analysis will review all available information from the narrative and other data gathered about the history of Philippine migration to UK. The first wave of Filipino labour migration took place from 1900 to early 1940s with USA as main destination (Gonzales 1998,
'Processes associated with globalisation including international migration, are undermining national citizenship' Discuss
'Processes associated with globalisation including international migration, are undermining national citizenship' Discuss It is clear that we now live in a time where the nation-state is no longer the undisputed highest form of governance. Whilst states are still important actors, as most commentators would agree, it is also accepted that there are now others who significantly affect power, in some cases over and above that of some states. As Castles points out "the development of the modern citizenship was inextricably linked with the emergence of the nation-state in Western Europe and North America...The current crisis of citizenship is thus linked with the challenges facing the nation-state model at the end of the twentieth century."1 Global forces, most importantly those of an economic nature and accelerated technological 'advances', are seen to be reducing the states' ability to govern and also retain its position as provider of citizenship and the benefits associated with national citizenship. The evidence to show that these forces are undermining the nation, and thus the 'national' emphasis of citizenship, are quite compelling, but there are also counter arguments that see the beginnings of a resurgence of national identity as a response to these forces. Furthermore, there are questions as to whether national citizenship is simply being replaced by other forms of
Comparing portrayal of death In The Story of Zhara and Seasons of Migration
Compare the portrayal of death in 'The Story of Zahra' and 'Season of Migration to the North' In both 'The Story of Zahra' and 'Season of Migration to the North', many characters die as a result of their own actions. Some deaths are ambiguous, like those of the narrator and Mustafa Sa'eed in 'Season of Migration to the North', whilst others are more overt - such as the death of Zahra in 'The Story of Zahra' and that of Jean Morris. In all these events, characters have chosen death, and it is this self-destructive death that I will be examining. Zahra becomes obsessed with the sniper as a result of the events of her life in the 'Story of Zahra'. When Zahra first learns of the presence of the sniper, she makes a conscious decision to die by purposefully walking down the street which he is targeting. She anticipates 'only one thing: hearing a bullet and then falling dead'. She does this because, traumatised by her mother taking her on her mother's illicit assignations with her lover, she had lived her life with great apathy. She later a man to seduce and continues to allow him to use her even once it is clear that he isn't prepared to marry her. In Africa, she agreed to marry a man she had only just met and didn't even like. After they separated, back in Beirut and the midst of civil war, she cowered in the house with her mother, waiting 'to be obliterated'. After escaping the

Solution (brief) ______________________________________________________ Migration is the movement of people to establish a new permanent place of residence. The UN defines ‘permanent’ as a movement of over a year. Internal migration is the permanent relocation of population within a country. People choose or are forced to migrate due to reasons; these are called push and pull factors. Push factors are negative conditions at the point of origin, which encourages people to move, such as war, famine and natural disaster. Pull factors are positive conditions at the point of destination, which encourages people to move, such as better

Summary of readings: Migration, Diaspora and Transnationalism Migration, usually being divided into international and internal ones, denotes any movement of human from one location to another. There are many extensively migrations throughout history, in both occasional or permanent manner, depending on historical setting, circumstance and perspective. Migration is an aggregation of individual behaviours into the social forms, usually not being explained by a single or constant theory as it is a combinated competing paradigm with trade-offs between differentiated pull and push factors in distinct circumstances involving some sort of empirical orientation. Ravenstein's 'Law of migration', noticed some similarities of migration caused by economic development in the nintith centries, for examples, it stated that large towns were grow by migrantion more than natural increases, and the theory concluded that migration is always related to economic income maximization. Michael Todaro(1960s) correlated the concept to the income difference between rural and urban area and regard it as the main factor of migrational movement, in which people would migrant for better paid occupation or job opportunity. Everette Lee(1996), on the other hand, linked the initiatives of migration to the mutual concessions of pull and push factors, considering people desires with reference to different
