Test
“On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this graded academic work. I am a person of integrity and I do not cheat.” Agree to this statement by typing your name here: Thomas P. Gardner
Globalization is the increasing interconnectedness of people and places through converging processes of economic, political, and cultural change. Those who are pro-globalization believe that wealth will “trickle down” from rich countries to poor countries. They also believe it will spread the benefits of new ideas and new technology to all nations. One organization that loans money to nations so they can invest in business is the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). On the other hand, those who are anti-globalization say it is not fair, because the richest 20% of the world’s people consume 80% of the world’s resources, resulting in inequities between"have" and "have nots"
Use the CIA Factbook to answer the following questions: In Luxembourg the life expectancy is 79.33, the infant mortality rate is 4.56 deaths per 1000 live births, the literacy rate is 100%, and the TFR is 1.78. In Libya the life expectancy is 77.26, the infant mortality rate is 21.05 deaths per 1000 live births, the literacy rate is 82.6%, and the TFR is 3.08.
We often categorize nations as being “developed” or “developing” nations. Vietnam and Mexico would be considered developing nations; Japan and Canada are developed nations.
The current world population is over 6,790,062,216 billion people. The number that measures how many children the average woman in a nation will bear is known as the Total Fertility Rate, which is abbreviated as TFR. When this number is exactly 2.1, then the population stays the same; if it’s higher, the population goes up, and if it’s lower, the population decreases. The population is growing fastest in developing nations.
A population pyramid that is shaped just like a pyramid -- wide on the bottom and narrow at the top -- shows a country whose population is growing. If it is shaped more like a vase or a soda bottle, that nation’s population is shrinking. Young people are found at the bottom of the pyramid, and Men are found on the left hand side.
When discussing migration, people who are entering a country are known as immigrant, and people who are leaving a country are known as emigrant.
People leave their country for many reasons. An example of a push force is unemployment, and an example of a pull force is better health care. If a nation’s net migration rate is a high number, it means more people are leaving the country than are arriving.
STEP THREE: In a short, well-written essay, answer ONE of the following questions:
1) Some people feel very strongly in their pro-globalization opinions, while some anti-globalization advocates have different beliefs. It’s likely that the truth lies somewhere in between. What do you think is the “middle ground” in this argument? Be sure to provide evidence for your opinion.
STEP FOUR: First, go to the following website and read the news story you will find there:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/24/world/americas/24mexico.html
then, in a short yet brilliant essay, summarize that story by relating it to our studies of immigration in class. Try to use terms from the text and from our class discussions.

Globalization is helping some developing countries, but most of the poor people aren’t getting the money and goods because the rich people are being greedy and taking it all. Now it is true that some poor people had plenty of opportunities to get a job and they don’t deserve the money, but there are some poor people who haven’t had the opportunities to have a job. I think we should use globalization to create new, easy, jobs so the people can deserve the money, and not just give handouts to everyone; even the drug addicts, who if you gave money would just buy drugs.

The net migration rate of America is manly built up be people from Mexico. Most Mexican people say that they would move to America if they could. There are also Mexican that are coming here illegally, and there is a good rate of them coming in legally too. 57% of Mexican who live here say that it is better here than where they were. Only 14% don’t think it is better. The population is growing in America.

UK population hits 61 million
(the Independent)
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-population-hits-61-million-1777930.html
the UK just hit there highest population of 61 million people! an increase of 2 million since 2001. an increase brought on by the high fertility rate. it is confirmed that it is the biggest population increase in history. the vast migration to Europe, has slowed to a trickle. so the population increase doesn't seem like it's going to be their for long.

Never before in human history have so many people been on the move.
190 million people live outside the country of there birth. They are migrants.
The one thing that drives globalization is money.
The reason people leave there home countries is for economic opportunities.
Of all the migrants in the world, a third live in industrial countries (Japan, Germany, France, Canada, united states, Italy, and the united kingdom,) and most go to cities.
1/3 of the population growth in the USA is migration.
They move also because of
§ War
§ Persecution
§ Famine
§ Environmental destruction
Refugees- A person who flees his/her country because of well founded fear based on race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or political affiliation.
push forces- civil strife, economic degradation, or unemployment.
pull forces- good economic standing, better health.
The difference between immigration and emigration , you immigrate into a country, you emigrate out of a country.
Middle east has oil, so more people are flooding to the middle east.

Even though Ireland is a developed country, it still has more population growth because all kind of American Irish are coming bake, in more numbers than the left. The tfr is not to the average tfr needed to keep the population on its own so its good that more people are migrating. In Ireland the death rate is higher then in Estonia , so the population difference isn't going to be that deferent for long.
