e.Class Notes #19

Author's side note: Today during class, we talked extensively about how History books are out of date the second that they're published. Even the most up to date facts in a book from 2010 are out of date in 2018.

Actual class notes:

• Immigration concerns in Europe.
• Population growth in Europe is fueled by immigrants (a trend that many European nations dislike).
• The biggest fear among the nations is that the culture of the home country will be lost because immigrants:
• Adhere to different religions.
• Speak different languages.
• Eat different foods and practice other cultural habits.
• Hostility toward immigrants has become a central plank of some political parties in many European countries.
• Immigrants are blamed for crime, unemployment rates, and high welfare costs.
• Characteristics of migrants.
• Ravenstein noted that most long-distance migrants are:
• male.
• adult individuals rather than families with children.
• young adults seeking for work rather than children or elderly people.
