To begin with what is migration? Well to my understanding migration is when people of a different country, culture or race moves to a destination for positive reasons which are pull reasons. Another reason for wanting to move to a certain country can be for negative reasons which are called push factors.
For example a country that I have been researching is China which is an interesting country that has made me want to research more about. One of the pull reasons for Chinese immigrants wanting to move to NZ can be for reasons such as raising and educating children in order for them to have a better future. One push factor about the Chinese people moving here was the language barrier between the two languages which were English and Chinese.
People are all different which means they all won't go in just on direction. Some people move to another country to have a better future while others move back to their home land because of family, friends and other reasons. Those two ways of moving are counter stream and mainstream. Counter stream is when you move back to where you came from and mainstream is when you migrate to another country for more opportunities.
Along the way everyone comes across an intervening obstacle which can be things like not being able to understand or speak English. But even though there is difficulty understanding each other they are still able to show empathy and express their emotions and feelings in other ways where everyone can understand e.g their dances, or cultural songs and other tradition.
In conclusion I hope this has given you a better understanding and insight into what migration is about.
