Migration and 

Development

"Migration and Development." Center For Global Development. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 May 2013. <http://international.cgdev.org/topics/migration>.

I honestly really like this website because it’s pretty much like a online newspaper. It has links where it connects me to other authors and what they think about the migration and development. And there are a lot of different articles. For example, there was this article called “If People Could Immigrate Anywhere, Would Poverty Be Eliminated?” and it’s basically talks about  how people should be able to move mobily because it’s one of the biggest opportunity for development. “Development is about people, not places.” There are many other different stories about migrations and whatnot, but I felt like this article just struck me more. It had me thinking a lot about why do people think it’s a bad idea for some people to migrate to America. I mean, in my opinion, most Americans don’t want to get their hands dirty so that’s why we have different ethnicities come to America to do the dirty work. If it wasn’t for those people, we wouldn’t have the materialistic things we have today.

Human Ancestry

One of the main questions I asked myself before I started to think about what I really wanted to do with migration was “how do calculate migration?” And “how can we depend on certain data if most of the immigration are illegal?” I mean, I highly doubt that someone who is an illegal immigrant will participate in this data analysis. This resource helps me narrow down what I should look for specifically if I want to involve some data analysis in my presentation. It raised some questions for me because there are some data missing and sometimes, those gaps of missing information is very important because that’s how people can analyze the changes in our culture.

This isn’t necessarily an article or a blog, but I feel like it’s important for me to have some sort of visual source to back up my research. I specifically looked for a human diagram because when I was in Science and Society class, we were talking a lot about the human evolution and how everything was “created.” I used this source because I wanted to get more background on the science side of migration and human evolutions. You see, this ties up with my topic because it involves us humans and it’s a start for me to move my project forward.

I’m more of a visual person. I like to see things move rather than me reading off of a book or some article online. Basically, National Geographic decided to do a project called The Genographic Project, which launched in April 2005. It’s a five-year genetic anthropology study that aims to map historical human migration patterns by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from hundreds of thousands of people from around the world.

The video explains how as diverse as America is, we all come from one place. And most scientists believes that we all originated from Africa, but the religious side believes that we originated from Adam and Eve. So this resource helps me dig into the scientific side of the argument. It also explains our migration from country to country. Well, at least figuring it out. So what side do we believe? The religious side or the scientific side?
