Students' opinions on immigration


Taking Risks
I’m sure you’ll agree that this concept of “emigration” is an issue which involves the entire world. To my opinion, the main reason for emigrating is the rush for money.
One of the advantages about emigrating is that you can build your life easily, working for having money, starting over your life ;a reason could be the human kind always wanting more; another one could be the fact that you learn another language, because you simply have to and this could help you when you come back in your country; You get knowing new mentalities, new ways of living, new opportunities.
Most people who are leaving, never come back, because they found in the country in which they emigrated what they needed in their country before leaving.
Unfortunately, there are disadvantages about emigrating ,because when you leave, you take risks; you can lose your friends and even your family. And it is hard, because it is hard to get acquainted with another country, another culture, another language and with new people. There are families in which the parents emigrate, leaving their kids alone and unprotected and they are the most affected psychically and these kids, in future, will have different problems of behaviour or even worse. And emigration is one of the reasons why the parents are getting divorced and why so many families are ruined. The consequences are enormous upon everyone.
Nowadays, in our country for example, there is a shortage of workers, doctors etc, because they found in other countries what they need for having a good life.
I think that our job is to try to help people who have problems caused by emigration and to increase the level of our country, our way of living in order to diminish the reasons for emigrating.

Chlidren are in the middle...
Nowadays more and more parents are going to work abroad or they move there , taking the children with them or leaving them home.. Did they ask themselves what the children are feeling in that moment? Honestly, I donʼt think so. Maybe the parents are taking decisions in hard times when they are having problems and they donʼt know what to do, not thinking about the consequences of their actions. The children are caught in the middle, they are the ones that suffer the most, it doesnʼt matter if in the end they get all they want if their parents are away. Fortunately I am not in this kind of situation, but just thinking about what those children are going through, I can imagine itʼs an terrible suffering. My opinion is that we should think tree times before taking any decision, to think about the consequences and the ones around us.

The phenomenon-migration
It is a known fact that nowadays people travel to foreign countries much easier. They spend more often their holidays, or even weekends abroad, looking for better services wherever they go. As long as they can afford it, good for them!
But another fact of easier access abroad is the increasing number of immigrants. There are a lot of reasons why people started to migrate: the search of a better life with better paid jobs, families looking forward to reunite after many years of being separated, young people looking for a fresh new start, eager to discover a whole new world unknown to them, or maybe students ready to experiment other educational systems.
Somehow, it is sad for countries to loose their own people and remarkable citizens in favour of strangers, ready to offer them a better life. But, in the end, it is everyone’s choice what they want to do with their own life.
For many, working abroad may be the only chance of survival, of supporting themselves and their families. For others life is a continuous discovery and migrating is one of the good parts, maybe even a necessity.
We are all free to choose. Life is full of options and taking chances.
People feel differently regarding life in general and the word migration raises different problems and questions in everyone’s mind. We are not in the position to judge.
