Globalization

Introduction
Migration has always been present in our society, form the nomads that traveled
from place to place to find better living conditions, to as recently as people who
migrated from Europe during World War II to avoid the conflict that was
and in this short document we will discuss some of its consequences and explain it
briefly and how it relates to globalization which is the main topic of the whole
course.
Analysis
We can talk about different types of migration, as the text mentions the migration
is not only from people moving to another country, we can also talk about
ideological migration for example the change of ideology in the soviet union
when they integrated themselves into the capitalist world and many other
countries who changed their thinking, and now almost every country in the world
technology. The world is as connected as we ever could have thought and this is
As I mentioned briefly the migration of human capital is a big factor and it affects a
lot of countries, including Mexico, what happens is that we dont have the
infrastructure to maintain out brightest more prepared minds here in our country,

professionals with Phd or masters degrees end up leaving the country, because we
dont have a lot of jobs to offer to those qualified people. On the other hand we
have countries like Japan who barely like for people outside their country because
they have great education system, and many complicated jobs which require
excellent preparation so whenever a new occupation is free there are many people
who want to apply a job and this creates a constant demand for high paying jobs,
which means their leves of migration are low because they dont need foreigners
Also globalization has created a constant stream of people who are from third
wold countries or developing countries who are in search of better paying jobs so
they start emigrating their own country in need to provide for their families, this
and many other factors has created a big amount of discussion if people who
enter a country illegally should be thrown out, for example the DACA problem is
now s huge debate in USA because they are people who have lived there all their
lives and now they are getting deported most likely so many people are against it.
Also Brexit started as a movement because a lot of British people wanted to stop
the constant influx of immigrants entering the country and stealing their jobs.
Reflection
I think immigration can bring a lot of benefits to a country, most of the people are
hard workers, very intelligent and in general help to increase the diversity of a
place and contribute to the culture, but not only culturally most immigrants
contribute hugely to national GDP and economic factors. Also there should be
strict regulations about how people enter the country and the certain permits they
need to enter, because the government should always look out for their citizens in
the fairest way, and I think that is a very important part of democracy.
