7th Grade

We need to get better about taking notes. I will continue to give open notes quizzes as long as you refuse to take notes.

These notes Section 2 of Chapter 3 need to be written in your notebook when you come to class on Wednesday.

Why people migrate
Migration- people’s movement from one place or region to another

Immigrants- people who move into one region from another.

Emigrants- people who move out of one region for another.

Voluntary Migration
Voluntary- of one’s own will

Push-Pull Theory- difficulties “push” someone to leave and hope for a better life “pulls”.
Push factors- war, disease, needs cannot be met, jobs, and oppression
Pull factors are the opposite of push factors and amenities

Involuntary Migration
When people are forced to leave a region.
Why would people be forced to leave?

Slave trade, war prisoners, criminals, and natural disasters

Migration hurdles: governments, boundaries (political and natural)

Urbanization
Urbanization- movement of people to cities and the growth of cities
Factors- Industrial Revolution, food easier to get, needs no longer being met in the country, amenities, and dream of home ownership.

Rural- area in the countryside
Urban- area in cities and nearby towns

Problems with living in cities-
Traffic
Overpopulation

So why do we flock to cities?
