    Classroom Activity: KI #2: Where do people migrate within a country? Choose three maps. Create a post-it note for each map that includes an observation about where a certain ethnic group is located in the US. Use the Diigolet tool. See my example on the site.

    This map really confused me! I understand that Mexico has a climate that is attractive to elderly migrants...however, with the ongoing drug wars, why would migrants choose Mexico? Regions in the north and center display a higher percent of elderly migrants. I compared this map to one depicting homicides related to the drug wars. It appears that there a more homicides per 1,000 persons in the mid-North, which perhaps serves as a hub, with homicides decreasing from this central point.

      These maps, individually, are useful for recognizing total immigration patterns in the U.S.: where immigrants are distributed and where they are most likely to be concentrated.  However, a new level of understanding can come from comparing the maps to each other.  For example, comparing where immigrants from Mexico are distributed to the overall distribution of immigrants shows specific characteristics of those immigrants.  It is interesting to see what countries are included on the maps; they seem to be mostly from either Latin America or Asia.

      You are right, this is a extremely useful tool to have at your disposal.

    These maps show interesting patterns of immigration in the U.S. and where immigrants are most likely to go.

  • Blinded by the sunlight when he finally emerged, Muhammed found himself in Spain — one of the tens of thousands of African migrants who risk their lives to make the dangerous journey to Europe by boat each year. Others come hidden in the wheel hubs of tractor-trailers transported by ferry. Some even swim part of the way. Scores die en route.

      From the Podcast ... "Some migrants refuse to speak in order to not reveal their identity" ... if it takes more than 60 days to identify a migrant, than a migrant is allowed asylum in Spain.

    Good Morning APHUG - All the best to those taking their PSATs today. I came across this interesting article. Their is a podcast and a short reading that goes along with this. Something to think about ... What are some of the obstacles that migrants face, according to this source? Feel free to comment or use the Diigolet tool to highlight items in the text that answer the question above. (See my examples above)

    There is a high amount of refugees in the coastal states. These states all have a large central city or hub, which would mean more job opportunities, which is the main reason people migrating

  • The United States today has fewer people working in manufacturing than it had in 1941 before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the rush to produce weapons. But not all U.S. manufacturers are shadows of their former selves

      It's surprising to me that 25% of New Balance's shoes are made in the U.S. and that 1300 employees are working in the U.S.

      This connects to the theme of Mobility because New Balance has to determine what would be the best way for them to transport their goods to the markets and consumers, at the lowest costs.

      This relates to industry because it shows that the labor costs are increasing in foreign countries, like China that is known for cheap labor, and it will cost less for the company to make their products in the U.S. and have them closer to markets. This is a situation factor because of transportation costs.

      Will domestic product of goods increase and how would this affect countries that are currently "hubs" for cheap labor? How will those countries react?

      http://businesstheory.com/136-increase-chinas-minimum-wage-compete-global-manufacturing/ The article above relates to this article because it talks about how higher wages in China will push factories to other places with cheaper labor, like Vietnam. The gap between U.S. and Chinese labor costs are shrinking, which helps explain why companies like New Balance are able to have industries in the U.S. instead of foreign countries.

    This directly relates to how the tertiary sector is growing, because other sectors, like manufacturing is in, are declining.

Istanbul releases bomb warning in public areas - 0 views

    Just recently, Istanbul has released a bomb warning in crowded areas. Some of the areas most at risk are Taksim, Osmanbey, Yenikapi, and Haciosman. The Istanbul Police Department has sent out in pen and paper the threats. But why are they threatening these bombs? On July 20th a bomb went off in Suruç, Turkey that killed 32 and injured hundreds. More are suspected to come. These bombs and bomb warnings relate to the region theme of geography. In Istanbul, a culture has been created of violence. The hub, or government of Istanbul is trying in many ways to keep the land safe and secure. So, will another deadly bomb explode? How will the government protect their citizens?

    Thank you for the debriefing, Blaire. Good example for the region theme as well. When we hear about the Middle East region, these are the types of events we unfortunately associate with that place. It is interesting how societies are shaped due to external and internal terrorist threats. Perhaps many of you notice the presence of security as you travel around this summer. Security checkpoints at airports or landmarks reminds me of the cultural landscape theme.
