JAPAN
In term 2 I conducted a social inquiry on migration
My social inquiry focused on the movement of the migrants from Japan to Nz
The Push reasons on why the Japanese people moved from their country of origin to New Zealand, Is because they had to move/migrate here because of their jobs, or they had low paying jobs that were not sufficient enough for their family or families to continue living in Japan, the jobs they did in Japan where entertainment acts or making something like toys or everyday household items.
Another push reason is due to some pollution from factories that cause sickness/ illness that is hard to cure because it can just keep coming back, so they moved either to neighboring countries or Countries with high tech or advanced medical supplies and doctors.
The pull reasons on why the Japanese people moved to New Zealand is because they wanted to go sightseeing around the world and decided to stay in New Zealand, or maybe they were curious to see how New Zealand does things differently to Japan, like Education and to see what kind of jobs there are here.
But in moving here they were also faced with challenges/ obstacles that got in their way, like Bullying, because they were a different race, they looked different, sounded different or because they were just better than the bullies at some things.
My personal perspective about this is that it’s good that the Japanese people migrated here because we can create a bond or a friendly relationship with Japan and help each other with things in the future, and we can also share things culturally to extend the knowledge of one another's culture and to also share fun activities and foods that are usually done culturally.
