deffinitions and summarys

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

  • in-migration is the introduction of new people into a habitat or population
  • out-migration-To move out of one community, region, or country in order to reside in another.
  • forced migration- movement of a person or persons away from their home or home region
  • net internal migration -the net number of people leaving or moving into a state or county;
  • movers from abroad - moving someone with a purpose, forced to move
  • internally displaced person (IDP)- someone who is forced to flee their home but who, unlike a refugee, remains within their country's borders.

The Civil War in Sudan was a horrible thing. People lost everything during that war and people were forced to leave what they called home. People were without food and water for a long time nowhere to live. A lot of loved ones lives were lost and it was one of the worst wars ever to occur.
got my info from the movie and my head.

The movie we are watching in class is really interesting. It really shows you how long it takes to get used to another culture or living habit. Those men are not used to it but its what the need to survive. They didn't want to leave the rest behind but they needed to so they can send back money.

Lost Boys of Sudan

1. The lost boys had to leave there home because there was war there and if they didn't they were going to die.

2. They couldn't stay there because everything was destroyed and they were going to die.

3. Life in a refugee camp wasn't like there life before , it was a lot different and it was good in some ways because they got an education but bad in ways like they were sitting around nothing to do just waiting on what to do with there future.

part 2



Both of my parents are from the US. My mom’s parents are also from the US and my grandmas Irish and my grandpas Italian. My Dads parents are also both from the United States.  My mother’s fathers parents , my great grandparents were both from Italy . That’s where they both were born. When they were younger they moved over to the United States because of the poor jobs. My family is all Irish and Italian. Since my great grandparents were the only ones who came from a different country it shows how my family is alike. The United States is made up of people from all around the world. My great grandparents coming over to the United States were probably worried but also excited. My parents both born in the United States are proud of the ancestry and know a lot about it. My dad’s family is mostly all Irish and my dad’s moms from Ireland. My dad is 100% Irish also and my mom’s mostly Italian. It’s interesting to figure out all of this stuff about your family that you didn't know. If it wasn't for this project then i would have no idea that my great grandparents were both from Italy. These things are amazing to know and will help you with other things. My mom still has her grandfather’s birth certificate from him being in Italy. I think that’s really cool and shows a lot. Considering he migrated over when he was a little boy it’s really cool to still have that! Even though most of my family is born and from the United States it is still cool to have someone in your family born somewhere else. Figuring all of this out now i know more about my family and their backgrounds. This stuff is really interesting, and i want to know more about it.

part 1

When i think 8 years from now i think of me as an adult. The thought of that scares me , growing up so fast . Ever since i was a little girl i have always wanted to live in a small town , nothing big. I wanted to live near my parents also . I think that i am going to move wherever my job takes me. If i had to choose to places then i would choose one to stay here in my hometown , or move towards Texas. I think that college is a really important thing for everyone and it needs to be taken seriously. Its pretty much what determines your future . If you choose to study what your really interested in then get a good job your good. Your future is whatever you make it out to be. A pull factor of staying in my hometown is all the other opportunities out there that i could check out . A push factor is the economy and needing to get away. A pull factor of Texas is i have always wanted to go there but i do not know what jobs are like there so if i didn't have a job that would be bad. A push factor is maybe there is alot of jobs there better religious things and economy's better . The advantage of moving away is getting to do new things meet new people and everything. An advantage of living close is being able to always go to family know where everything is . These are all things that i am going to have to learn as i go on in life. If you dont learn these things over your years then your probably not going to do well in life. you need know what the pulls and pushes are of places and whats going to happen. If you don't know this then your futures bad. your future really is in your hands and its up to you what you do with it .
