Movement In Geography
Migration and People
-
Brain drain-When people leave a country or place with skills and then people in the area they left do not have access people with that level of skill for example doctors
Documented immigrant-an immigrant that is documented, identified and legally allowed to be in the country they have migrated to
Immigrant-a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country
Refuge-Someone forced to leave their home county for reasons such as prosecution, war, natural disaster, or other reasons that could possibly compromise that persons safety
Undocumented immigrant-someone who illegally resides in the country because they do not have the legal documentation to do so, this could be someone who came on a visa that is now expired, someone who came in illegally without proper inspection, authorization, or permission from the government.
Globalisation and Trade
-
Choke point-major straits, riverways, canals and places that large container ships can pass through the world depends on these choke points to receive goods and to trade such as imports and exports
Commodity-a raw material that is traded, bought and sold for example copper, cocoa beans, or coffee
Comparative advantage-people who have more of an advantage to thrive and make money due do access to education, how much money their family has or where they live for example someone in Madagascar can grow vanilla but people in other places cannot
Container ship-a large ship that transports containers from across the world, each container can then be loaded onto a truck when it gets on land and transported to where it needs to go
Exports-When goods and products that are being made in a country are sold in other countries this is beneficial to the economy and brings money into the country. It also makes that country more self dependent and allows for more jobs
Fair trade-when a product is fair trade the all people involved in the process of making it including the farmers or miners or the people at the start of the process all get paid a fair trade minimum price, this means the consumer will have to pay more
Globalisation-this can be a lot of things but the main idea is the integration and communication between different countries, regions and people for example a product where the parts came from different places designed in another manufactured in another and then sold in another. It could even be something like a franchise such as McDonalds opening up in another country
Global supply chain-when supply comes from all around the world specifically for one company and sourced and manufactured in all different places to make a cheaper and more cost efficient product
Imports-When exports from a country are brought into another country to be sold, this is not normally bad for the economy and can be good for the people selling it due to the fact that they can get it for cheeper. However, it is not general great for the economy either as it takes away jobs from the country and causes the country to be more dependent on other places, it can be slightly more damaging if the imports heavily outweigh the exports or even the goods make and sold domestically
Losers from globalisation- People who generally not benefiting or being damaged by globalisation being left at a loss in some way shape or form a good example of this would be a very local coffee company being out-priced by a place such as Starbucks who buy things in bulk by the millions from all over the world so they can sell at a cheaper price
Scarcity-how rare something is, scarcity also plays a large role in supply and demand in such things such as gas prices
Specialization-someone who specializes in something studies it for a long time and becomes good at it something such as a gas station worker is not necessarily specialization, as it is something anyone can do. A doctor though is a good example of a specialization
-
Urbanization
-
Creative destruction-when things are put out of existence, put out of business or destroyed to make room for newer and better things, jobs, housing or other. This can also impact people negatively but on the whole it is positive. For example an iPhone which came to put most other mobile phone companies of its time out of business and now it has also put single use and small portable cameras out of business as well as many other things, but many people benefit from this and it has opened many jobs and new opportunities for people and startups
Favela-unplanned urban area in Brazil
Gendefication-when rich people and people with more money move into a poor area and the area starts to get nicer, safer and jobs open up that pay more, this also means that people that originally lived there may not be able to afford it anymore due to the prices of everything climbing
Primate city-The largest city in the State, Country, or Region (depending on what you are comparing it to) normally this is judged by population and infrastructure an example of this would be something like London, Paris, Tokyo, New York City
-
Rural-the countryside rather than a side or city it is the opposite of something like a city rural areas almost always have way less people than cities and is more spread out with more area
Rural to urban migration, push factors-Why people want to leave rural areas
Brain drain-When people leave a country or place with skills and then people in the area they left do not have access people with that level of skill for example doctors
Rural to urban migration, pull factors-Why people want to migrate to cities
Urban-an urban area is normally something like a city and has lots of people, infrastructure, and a high caring capacity
Vancouver Canada-A city in Canada that has experienced large amounts of Genderfication in the past few years
