Taking notes in class!

Today in class, we recieved some graded assignements and took notes on a slide presentation. The key issues of the notes were: Where are migrants distributed? Where do people migrate within a country? Why do people migrate? And why do migrants face obstacles? The next section of the notes was on migration, mobility is most generalized term that refers to all types of movements. Journeying each day to work or school. Weekly visits to local shops, and annual trips to visit relatives who live in a different state. Short-term and repetitive acts of mobility are referred to as cirrculation. An example is, college students moving to college each fall and returning home each spring. A permanet move to a new location constitutes migration. Emmigration is migration from a location, on the other hand, immigration is migration to a location. The next section of notes is on distance. Ravenstein's laws for the distance that migrants typically move. Most migrants relocate a short distance and remian within the same country. Long-distance migrants to other countries head for major centers of economic activity. The next section of notes is on distance of migration. Migration can be divided into two categories: International migration which is voluntary or forced, and Internal migration which is interrgional or intraegional. The next section of notes is on International Migration Patterns. Approximately 9 percent of the world's people are international migrants. Global patterns refelct migration tendencies from developing countries to developed countries. These are called net-in-migration and net-out-migration. The last section of notes is on the United States Immigration Patterns. The U.S has more foregin-born residents than any other country: approximately 43 million as of 2010 growing by 1 million annually. There are three main eras of immigration in the United States: Colonial, Mass European, and Asian and Latin American.
