  • Beringia Research Paper

    What is Beringia? Beringia, also known as, The Bering Strait, is a massive landmass that the first americans crossed over to get to the Americas during the first Ice Age, about 2.6 million years ago. The time period known as Pleistocene Ice Age is when the first Ice Age happened. Many glaciers covered the sea and lowered the sea level about 300 feet. The land that is now covered by water became dry land. This resulted in the massive landmass that connected the continents of Asia and North America. This land bridge formed a flat, grassy, treeless plain that the first Americans used to migrate to the Americas. When the Earth passed into its climate warming cycle, the glaciers began to melt. The melted water levels rose, and submerged Beringia once again.

    Indentured Servants helped the colonies progress their population. England at the time was over populated, and jobs were hard to find. So many people that could not afford the boat trip over to America offered themselves as to be an indentured servant for a period of time. This contractual term can last from between four to seven years. Many colonists preferred having indentured servants over slaves, cause they also helped ward off Native Americans from attacking settlers. The one big draw back of indentured servant was that they usually did not make it pass the first year of their contract.

    There were two questions that resonated in my mind as I read this article: “Why are people risking their lives when they can take the easy why out?” and “Why are people so willing to quit when they have come so far from where they began?”. I ultimately wanted to know what the deciding factors were for these migrants at such a crucial time in their lives. The factor, referred to as the “push” factor, that caused many people to give up on Hungary was the physical and emotional response the nation gave toward the refugee presence. When they arrived at the border there were attacks placed on them by officials. The main factor, aka “pull” factor, which caused many to stay and fight for access into Hungary, was the access to cheap plentiful land. This land symbolized opportunity for those hopeful families. Push and Pull factors are very important when it comes to migrant families. The likability of a specific place is based solely on personal perception. The good thing about migration is that it forces one to become familiar to new places. In many cases that familiarity sparks interest in other places, and a pattern of migration begins. The more the migrants move the happier they become. In the article, the initial goal of the refugees was to get their families out of harms way and into a safer community. The more the families migrated the less they had to worry about that initial problem of protecting their loved ones. This process can be referred to as distance decay. When a family feels that they have put enough distance between themselves and their initial problematic location, they importance of that initial location begins to

The push factor plays a big role in this process of decision making; and this is because many African students that are leaving politically unstable countries or low economic countries, are often captured by the opportunities that they hope to achieve here in Sweden, rather than returning to Africa were the hope of having such opportunities are often very low. Furthermore, The push factor can also be considered as playing a larger role on why these students have decided to leave their country in exchange for a life in Sweden because many of them actually did not know much about Sweden before coming; but they just had the notion that the life in Europe would be far-more better than the one they had back in Africa, and the opportunities they stand to gain here is Sweden would be more than that in Africa.

The main push factor behind his migration was a political factor, the government in Cuba, which was a dictatorship that was becoming worse and worse.

    The immigrants believe that by migrating to a different country they have a better chance to succeed I life, they want to better themselves and their families. The three theories of why people migrate are great explanations to the situation. But, I think the theory that makes the most sense is the push pull theory. The push pull theory is the main idea of the other two theories; it seems to have information about the other theories. It provides an overall picture of why people migrate from their home. The push pull theory provides explanations of the factors that contribute to a person migrating to a different country. They all have their own situations that they are going through and their own motivates for wanting a better life. In the end, I think that’s what everybody wants, to just have a place you can call home and where you do not have to worry about not having bread on the table. That’s all they want to do.
