Effects of Globalization in Migration

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

happening at the time. Migration is an important topic that is as present as ever

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

is interdependent of one another, we exchange resources, human capital and

technology. The world is as connected as we ever could have thought and this is

all because of globalization and how it affects us globally.

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,

so in search of better jobs to accommodate their skills many students and

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

to complete those jobs.

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.
