Today in class a new kid joined
honors. His name is Alec, and he is in band and plays the flute. Because he
didn’t see the PowerPoint we went through yesterday, we had to go back through
the PowerPoint in a squished form. The presentation was run by Kiana, while the
other new student, Mr. Schick made helpful comments. The whole first part of
the PowerPoint took up most of the class, but then we started getting new
information on migration. We discussed migration rates, and a lot about why you
would want to migrate from one place to another. The overall two groups of
reasons to migrate were push and pull factors. Push factors are factors that
make you want to leave the country. Examples of these could be the government,
or lack of it, religious persecution, environmental changes, as well as others.
Pull factors are factors that make you want to come to a country. Examples of
these would be better healthcare, better economy, or generally everything that
is better than what you are currently living in.
