Push and Pull factors

In social studies we have began our migration unit. We've started off by learning about push factors and pull factors, types of factors, and different types of migration. To explain this we had to create either a powtoon or a my simple show. Also I apologize for the robot voice.


Here is a transcript of the video: 

Migration is when you move from one place to another. This move can either be temporary or permanent just as long as you're going there to live.
There are many reasons for why someone might move. We call these reasons push and pull factors. A push factor is what pushes you away from where you're currently living (i.e: politicsliving conditions, etc).
A pull factor is what pulls you to move to another country (i.e: educationworkfamily, etc). Push and Pull factors are sorted into 6 different categories; economy, culturalsocialpoliticalenvironmental, and natural.
Political would be things such as the governmentpresident, prejudice, while social can be things like neighborhoodseducation, and job opportunities. Economic factors are will usually be things that include money such as housing and pricing among other things.
Natural factors are going to be the sceneryair conditionspollutionrubbish, etc. Environmental factors would be things like the places you live and are often paired with other factors.
An example of this would be crime rates which would be considered social environment, or prejudice which can be political environment. Often times these factors are paired together such as political economy, natural environment, or social culture.
Culture, which I forgot to mention, is the country and usually takes into account how diverse it is and how they react to other cultures.
Hopefully now you understand migration and why people might migrate.

Because I have limited words in my simple show, here is a more in-depth explanation of migration
Migration is a general term used for moving either permanently or temporarily to another place. The two types of migration are easy to remember. Immigration is moving into another country, i.e they immigrated to America. The other type of migration is emigration which is when you are migrating out of a country/place. An example would be she wanted to emigrate out of America. An easy way to remember the difference between the two is Immigration is Into while Emigration is Exiting.
