IMMIGRATION
Introduction
The international movement where people move to a country, of which they are not a
native and not even possess citizenship in order to settle there, is considered as immigration.
Some immigration takes place as permanent residences or to take up employment as a migrant
worker. After going through several articles and books I found that adapting to a whole new
country is difficult as well fun. In other words, the cultural guides, languages people, government
almost everything are new and along with all comes the difficulties that needed to be faced by
the immigrants such as racism and discrimination, isolation which diversely affect the migrants
in the new place (Muñoz 2018). The cultural barriers are always the biggest determinant that is
almost faced by the migrants. The reason behind migrating to whole different country and the
reason to choose that particular country also raises an interest to take study on the topic of
immigration.
Discussion
Immigration is not always for permanent settlement in a willing country instead there can
be many other reasons as like economic reason, political, social or might be environmentally.
However I would like to find evidence regarding the most occurring reason among the migrants
to migrate leaving their own country. I will also include findings to give evidence on the number
of people migrating in a year. Is there any relation between health and migration is also a
question that needs to be clarified (Snyder and Wilson 2015). There are many journals,
newspaper articles which argue upon the loss of immigration or gaining by the same. If really
there is gain to migrating then what will be that because as far most of the articles I went through
criticized several issues that affected the migrants physically or mentally (Mukherjee 2018).

IMMIGRATION
There also raises a question that why the migrants are always not accepted by the natives of the
destination country in spite of government laws and regulations. In most of the cases problem
faced always results to racism and discrimination. Research also needs to be done on the context
that is there a need to improve the right to all the people who are residing including the
immigrants of a country or it is already established in the country (NPR.org 2018).
Conclusion
At first I would read more journals and collect newspaper articles to support my essay
which I will start writing to get a much wider view of the topic Immigration. Then I will start
writing an 8 page essay listing the above questions and discussions in brief using the formal way
of writing. Furthermore, taking evidences for some of my research I would need to conduct a
survey with an open ended questionnaire which will help me to get real information. For
conducting survey I would conduct my survey on college students and at local market place
where I could find the natives and the immigrants as well. There will be a question set differently
for natives and the immigrants to get different information required to write an essay with clear
perspectives. In the end, to conclude I will use proper justification after writing the essay.
