    When looking at the map, I noticed that the United States has the most cities with one million or more foreign born residents. This makes sense because many people come to the United States for better opportunities. The US has job opportunities and good education. In Europe, there are only two cities with many foreign boron residents and I think that this is because London and Paris are two major cities and have many opportunities as well.

    The United States have many cities that hold foreign born immigrants. It is interesting that about 50% of the cities shown on the map are from the USA. I believe this is because of the economic success each of these cities have had in the past is key factor. Also how most of the cities are on the coast make them a prime target because it is easy to reach.

    In the map, it shows that many large cities in the U.S. have over a million foreign born residents. Large cities in most developed countries are in the same range, but interestingly cities in the middle east and the Arabian peninsula have over a million foreign born residents too. This may be because unstable and war-torn countries nearby have pushed people to more stable areas in the region.

    This graph shows that as time has gone on, a larger amount of females than males have migrated to the United States. This is probably because less people later on less people have come for work than to escape from war and dangerous zones
  • Isabella Silagyi on 16 Oct 13
     
    The number of foreign-born males exceeded that of females up until the 1960s. It continues down and then eventually stabilizes till both are around the same number.

      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.

    This article describes the riots and how the town of Ferguson is reacting to the killing of Michael Brown. This event relates to mobility because the town's population is 67% black, while all leaders of the town are white. There are certain patterns emerging as to how information is being spread and how the public reacts to them.

    Possible the people heard a rumor that the war was almost over. Or maybe they just want to return to their home in which they've been living in for the past years and have a connection to it. Lastly, people might have a feeling that if they grew up in a house they're ok to die in it too.

  • Refugees and migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East have been appearing at Europe’s borders in rising numbers, but more commonly in Mediterranean countries like Spain and Italy than in Britain.
  • Last year, hundreds of African migrants died when their boat capsized off the Italian island of Lampedusa. Two small Spanish enclaves in Morocco are frequently overrun by Africans seeking asylum. And the war in Syria has led to another tide of refugees.
  • The influx has led to questions about whether the European Union needs a more comprehensive strategy to deal with the migrants at its borders.

  • The interaction of culture and the movement of energy and people affect each other and the physical environment. What geographers do is study the interaction of the major elements that give character to a place. So when one is doing geography, one is trying to understand the value of places.

This topic and the idea of germ arsenals could be incredibly deadly and has the potential, if used in the future, to obliterate entire groups of people leaving them vulnerable and their homelands verminous.

    Many children are crossing the border to the US to have a better life, which will put a strain on the US budget. The theme of mobility is shown in this current event. The immigrants move from place to place bringing their ideas and practices, which will eventually change the culture.
