A. Examine internal migration. What types of areas are people moving to?

They were rural- urban flows and this lead to major urbanization of the world. People were moving to the most urban areas like western and northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and temperate South America and North America.

B. Explain why people move from place to place. (“Push Factors”)

People move from place to place to avoid situations in the place they are residing in. This can include religious, economic and political reasons. In order to evade these situations, people move to find themselves a better style of living.

C. How can political instability in a specific country force people to move to another place?

Political instability can cause people to move to other places quite often. An example of when this occurred was when Korea split into North Korea and South Korea. Many people switched sides of the 38th parallel to join the policy they were in favor of- communism or democracy. Political instability also caused people to move during the time of Hitler’s rule in Berlin. Once again, people are trying to evade dangerous situations.
