Assignment

The immigration agency, which must be self-supporting, faces a $118-million shortfall because applications for citizenship and skilled worker visas are below projections. Immigration officials are concerned about the fee's going up because the financial challenges have caused them to consider potential fee increases but no decisions have been made. To help close the shortfall the agency has requested $206 million from Congress
"Recession alters migration patterns" (bbc.co.uk)
A study carried out for the BBC has highlighted a sharp decline in the number of migrants seeking work abroad as a result of the global recession.

Today we got our tests back and i got a 100%! And then we flipped to pages 22-24.
Here are some of the notes i took about it
Migration
• Today over 190 million people live outside the country of their birth, thus are officially designated as migrants by international agencies.
• One of the main reasons people have globalization is because of the money.
• Of the 190 million a third of them ended up in Japan, Germany, France, Canada, the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
• Some people leave for some really scary reasons not just because of money. To just run away from the country
• Refugee: A person who flees his or her country
• Push factor: he has to move away
• Pull factor: He wants to go to another country because of different opportunity's
• 2 different types of migration if you leave London and go to America you are a emigrating to America and you are immigrating from London.
• Net migration rate: the number of people coming in and out of the country
Canada gets more emigrants than America

Today we covered the Population Pyramid and we did a Test!! (I think i did well)
Here are some of my notes from the Population Pyramid:
Age: population pyramids visually; present the population of a particular country broken down by age
Gender: population pyramids are split. One side presents the number of males in a particular population; the other reflects the number of females within the same population
Young and Old Population: The global average 30% , low is 17% (Europe); high of 42% (Africa); high number indicates great potential for future growth.
Life expectancy: average number of years a person is expected to live; affected by many factors.

Today we just messed around as usual. Just kidding...
We read our summaries the ones that we had to do for homework and talked about each of them the pros and the cons about globalization. Why the poor people didn't want to have globalization going on around them. And why the rich wanted to have globalization and the different topics based on globalization. I can't wait for another day in Human Geography class!

Today we discussed how there is a difference between Physical Geography and Human Geography and the 5 themes.
The 5 themes of Geography are:
1. Environmental Geography
2. Population and settlement
3. Cultural Coherence and Diversity
4. Geographical Framework
5. Economic and Social Development
Definition of Globalization:
The increasing interconnectedness of people and places throughout the world through converging processes of economic, political, and cultural change.
Then we went over what we had to do for homework. Not much for today but might be more for next Human Geography class.
