... The legislation proposed by the Conservative party has enormous significance: Canadians citizens would no longer have the ability to travel where they want on the globe. Subsequently, the freedom of people will be limited. The Islamic State is a controversial subject, yet it does not mean that all the people who travel to “terrorist hotspots” such as Syria or Iraq have the intent to join terrorist groups (Latraverse, 2015). In addition, this legislation if implemented, would violate the section 6, mobility rights, which allow every citizen to enter, remain, and leave Canada (Dyck, 2011, p. 272). However, despite this fact, it also gives benefits to the people. Indeed, even if criminalizing travels to certain regions has a negative impact on people’s freedom; it is meaningful to the Canadian politics because this legislation will not only ensure the national security of the country by reducing the numbers of Canadian citizens that travel to the Islamic State with the purpose of joining terrorist activists. In brief, this legislation is significant to Canadian citizens in a positive and a negative way: it reduces their freedom but at the same time, it ensures their security. Which leads to an ethical question; what is more important freedom or security? According to the Government of Canada “as of early 2014, more than 130 individuals with Canadian connections were abroad and were suspected of supporting terrorism-related activities (Government of Canada...

...In 2008, my mother and I immigrated to the United States to be with my father. The move to the US affected all of the aspects of who we are today. The move became one of the turning points of our lives. My parents became a married couple for the first time, which did not turn out easy for everyone, because they are two different people with two diverse cultures, values, and, of course, parenting styles. Furthermore, I finally have a typical family, both of my parents under the same roof. However, as a teenager, I did not know how to live with them because I have little to no attachment to them. We all did not know each other, and we are all independent and stubborn individuals placed under one roof and tried to become a typical family. Our...

...Recently, the influx of immigrants has started to become a massive issue, not just in the U.S, but in other countries as well. A large group of immigrants can affect a country in a variety of ways now, more than it ever did before. An overpopulated city filled with migrants may end up causing the city, and the country as well, to be stuck in deep waters. Most government officials also may not have any solution as to solving the conflict of having the resources to provide shelter for the immigrants. In addition, the citizens of a country might start to show fear or distrust against the immigrants, which may end up in a bad result. Overall, the flow of immigrants can lead to a very negative result. “During the past half-century, 59 million immigrants have moved to the United States, making it the No.1 immigrant destination on the planet,”quoted Tom Gjelton, who for many years got to cover national and international news from Washington and around the world . Countries such as Europe, the United States, are one of the few countries whose population has now been a high number of immigrants. People who migrate from different parts of the globe tend to go the United Kingdom(UK) for “better education and employment opportunities, to escape from being persecuted, or relocate after catastrophic events(such as war, or natural disasters),” stated Bhugra and Becker, two journalists. Although it is important to being able to provide these type of supports for education, some government officials...

...for N234/CET2810C Section 01 Microsoft Exchange Server course. Mail System Project When designing my Microsoft Exchange mailing system I will need to gather information about my environment. I will need to see if the installation is going to be a migration or am I walking in to a fresh setup. With a fresh installation I will have a lot of things to consider such as the customer requirements, mailbox profile requirements, geographic location, and server and data protection. I will also have to make assumptions based on all configurations. With the migration of an Exchange environment things become a little easier because some of the things you have to take into consideration during a fresh install are already done. You can just move the Exchange resources from one installation to the other such as mailboxes, public folders, and connectors. But you will need to determine the specific needs for the migration and I will need to archive non-essential data before I migrate to reduce cost and shorten my timeline. Also there are plenty of tools to assist in Exchange migration to where it becomes a simple task. So if you ask me if I want to go with a fresh install vs. migration if the already had Exchange in place my choice is Migration. Storage is also a big factor when setting up an exchange Server environment. There are a lot of architectural factors the play in to the storage design of my exchange server, the most important factors are, mailbox count, mailbox currency, mailbox...

...With the creation of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). ECOWAS, which has been around since the 70’s, is trying to make West Africa smaller. ECOWAs wants a borderless West Africa. This will allow West Africans to move around freely and easily in the countries. This makes their world smaller, and opens up the possibility for collaboration with other countries around the world. In fact, ECOWAS has already started this collaboration, Anderson writes, Inaugurated in 2008 to much fanfare after the signing OFA declaration on migration and development by ECOWAS, the European Commission, France, and Spain CIGEM was tasked with gathering information on migration (Anderson 241). In conjunction with other world powers ECOWAS is working to find solutions to problems like migration with other world powers. This is a powerful step to bring real change in Africa. Instead of these powers telling the West African Countries what to do they are instead working to bring about change and innovation together. This charge is led by...

...Driving Global Migration” (2013), Castle makes the argument that migration can mostly be attributed to growing inequality between less and more developed countries but also recognizes that other factors contribute to migration as well, although they are often ignored by policy makers; this results in poor migration policy that does not properly define the realities of migrants (Castles, 2013). For example, it is customary for countries to accept economic migrants and the Dominican Republic has benefited greatly from the influx of Haitian migrants that come to work. However, due to economic difficulties, the Dominican Republic is forcefully expelling Haitian migrants and Dominica-Haitians from the country, a direct violation of the right to nationality enshrined in international law. This poor migration policy can be attributed to a lack of understand of the Haitian population- beginning with the fact that very little distinction is made between Haitian immigrants, Haitian residents, and Dominican-Haitians living in the Dominican Republic. It can also be attributed to the absence of constructive conversation between the Dominican government and ‘Los Haitianos’. As Castle demonstrated in his research, a lack of understanding of an immigrant population results in policies that do not adequately protect the...

...Faced with the effects of globalization on geopolitical, economic, and cultural relations between societies, nurses are becoming front-line providers in countries where access to healthcare services are limited. In countries where infectious, communicable diseases are largely preventable through vaccination, and simple interventions to improve sanitation and safe drinking water, nurses have a unique opportunity fulfill their social responsibility as health promoters by collaborating with political and healthcare leaders to created sustainable solutions to identified needs. In addition to working as health promoters, nurses need competencies that are necessary to provide holistic nursing care and development of global attitude in providing health care to at risk population. Also they should be able to advocate for those in need of a voice. This paper is an annotated bibliography regarding international health in nursing. The reference cited address various information about the role of a nurse and what is global health in nursing. The references cited were obtained from numerous and widely scattered sources such as textbooks, electronic journals, magazines, and peer-reviewed journals. Chatwood, S., Bierregaard, P., & T.

...Term Paper: Website Migration Project Term Paper: Website Migration Project Dimitri A. Brydie Professor Jennifer Merritt Systems Analysis and Development December 18, 2013 Tony’s Chips has recently been acquired by a new independent company and the organization leaders have decided to move the current website, which is hosted externally, to an internal host. The company wants the website to be redesigned so that after migration, customers will then be able to make orders online. The company’s leadership would also like to have a disaster recovery solution in place in case the main site goes down. The overall objective of the project is to plan and design a new effective platform to host the website and to efficiently transfer the current website with minimal downtime. In order to accomplish successful migration of the current website, the five phases of the systems development life cycle will be utilized. The five phases are: systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and finally, systems support and security (Shelly & Rosenblatt 2012). The first phase in the website migration project will be to become familiarized with the business process and identify the objectives of the project. For an IT professional, this may consist of meeting with business leaders and studying the formal business plan to get a feel for the operations of the company. In this case, the company makes potato chips and distributes them. Another objective...

...To what extent does rural-urban migration from the Lake Bogoria area of Kenya relate to core-periphery perceptions? Introduction Migration is an important part of human geography, and an interesting topic to study in Kenya where there is, and continues to be a sharp increase in the number of people relocating to its cities. Currently, 40% of Kenya’s population live in urban areas and this figure is expected to triple in the next 40 years (Khazan 2013). Migration has many effects on the rural and urban communities involved, as well as the environment and the rate of development of certain areas. Furthermore, migratory patterns can be useful indicators of the geography of economic opportunities within a country (Potts 2013), therefore I wish to establish exactly why people decide to migrate. My research aims to look beyond the assumptions made about the reasons behind rural-urban migration in Kenya and relate the push and pull factors of migration to the core-periphery concept. I wish to find what the people of Lake Bogoria think about urban and rural areas, and where perceptions of these areas are derived from. It is important to carry out research in this field in order to obtain an idea of future migration patterns in Kenya and the reasons shaping them. A recent article (Khazan 2013) reporting of Kenyan migrants taking their cows with them to the city has sparked an idea that there is perhaps a blend in the boundaries between the urban core and rural periphery. Lake...

... Since ancient time, Australia attracts a mass of immigrants to study or work because of the clean natural environment, biology diversity and rich natural resources, perfect education system as well as the multicultural society (Ehow, n.d.). It should be acknowledged that immigration has played an integral role in Australia’s population increase and economic development (Migration Expert, n.d.). The immigration in Australia has undergone a long-term process. Firstly, indigenous inhabitants have lived in Australia for approximately 40,000 years. On 26 January 1788, a date known as ‘Australia Day’ at present, the Britain’s first...

...during 1976-2003 at round US$22 billion (Azad, 2005). Recognizing their economic importance, the government for years has had legislation, policies, and an institutional structure in place to facilitate the migration of its citizens. Now the question is why sudden importance is put into the perception of remittances? The fact is that the absolute and the relative volumes of workers’ remittances are increasing. They have shown a steady increase over the last decade. The amount of remittance flows to developing countries already surpassed that of official resource inflows. Since 1999, workers’ remittances have been the second largest resource flowing into developing countries after foreign direct investment (FDI). In addition workers’ remittances are not liabilities but cash transfers from overseas, which in principle, they do not cost any to recipient countries. As there has been much debate about external debt and its negative effect on growth, this feature is very attractive force. Despite the growing interest in workers’ remittances, the role of remittance in development and economic growth in general is not clearly understood. For example, studies based on a country’s time-series data tend to find positive impacts of remittances on growth, but a cross- country/panel data study by Chami et al. (2003) shows the opposite outcome. This is still one of the least studied areas of research in migration literature....

...How Rural-Urban Migration Contributes to the Development of a Megacity: A case from Bangladesh Abstract Like other developing countries, rural-urban migration is the prime reason of developing megacity in Bangladesh. It is the most important factor for rapid urbanization as well. Dhaka, the only megacity in Bangladesh, became a megacity having more than 10 million of population in 2001. Dhaka is the center of attraction of this region since 7th century and the development phase of this megacity can be categorized into five- Pre-mughal period, Mughal period, British period, Pakistan period and independent Bangladesh period. Although rural-urban migration plays the crucial most role to turn Dhaka from a city to megacity, it was not very significant during the first three period. With the partition of subcontinent Dhaka became the capital of independent Bangladesh and huge numbers of migrants start to step into this city. Dhaka, the 9th largest of 21 megacities of the world, drags people towards it with several ‗forces of attraction‘. This study, on the rural-urban migrants residing over the slums of Dhaka city, finds that availability of jobs, easy access to informal economy, ‗Dhaka means Taka‘ conception and ‗illuminating Dhaka‘ are the prime forces of attraction of Dhaka megacity. Keywords: Megacity, Dhaka, Rural-Urban Migration, Migration toward Megacity, Forces of Attraction. Introduction Development of cities and urban centers as well is intrinsically related with...

...ASSIGNMENT 04 SC160 Basic Biology Farah Shirmohammadi AC1110896 09/18/2012 Discuss the issues related to genetic diversity; mutations, sexual reproduction, migration, and population size. Generally speaking, there are numerous issues related to genetic diversity which include mutations, sexual reproduction, migration, and population size. To begin with, mutations (any change in the DNA sequence of an organism) introduce new genetic information into a population by altering alleles (a form of a gene usually arising through mutation) that are already present. Occasionally, a mutation introduces a new allele into the gene pool of species. On the other hand, a mutation may introduce an allele that was deficient in a local population. Meanwhile, it is present in other populations of species. All the different alleles for a trait originated as a result of mutations sometime in the past and have been maintained within the gene pool of the species as they have been passed from generation to generation during reproduction. Many mutations are harmful, but very rarely one will occur that is valuable to the organism. If a mutation produces harmful allele, the allele will then remain uncommon in the population. For example, the “Anopheles” mosquito is responsible for transmitting malaria in many African counties. At some point in the past, mutations occurred in the DNA of these mosquitoes that made some individuals tolerant to the insecticide Pyrethrin, even before...

...of new ethnic populations in Western societies raised lots of issues. In fact, the ethnic activity is not any more a question of historic interest; nor is it the concern of the company. Because new ethnic populations grew at the same time as Western economies, they are in a phase of slow growth and are facing the massive technological challenge; the ethnic adaptation and the mobility are central questions. (Waldinger 1990). In Europe, the activities managed by persons of minority ethnic groups were always present, but changeable historic circumstances increased jutting out to them and visibility during the last decades. First of all, the important immigration of former colonies of Southern Europe and North Africa led to a considerable migration. Secondly, thirty years of economic change caused a fundamental transformation of the labor market and a general change of the employment in big companies to the independent work in young companies. This tendency struck certain groups of immigrant much harder than the other native populations, which is reflected by the higher...
