This Web Site is Under Construction
All of the data below is mindless gibberish to fill up space, because as reinterated above: "This Web Site is Under Construction".
Since the beginning of time, migration per se has been used successfully as an alternative to increased hardship within a current location.
Australopithecus roamed about, benefiting from the freedom movement provided to develop success. In Africa, the Khoi-san bushman still follow this lifestyle although with tightening restrictions limiting their rights.
In the developed world, similarly, this age-old alternative livelihood is being driven to extinction. Migration and the freedom of movement, now increasingly simpler as transport methods improve, are actively under attack as a legitimate alternative livelihood option.
Xenophobia is on the increase. Factors like the 'War on Terror' and spiralling nationalism are driving a nail into the coffin of freedom of movement. Although an estimated 200 Million expatriate workers choose this way of life, globally we are in denial. This significant number of the human population continue their struggle, striving to exercise their time-tested human right to freedom of movement and migration as a legal form of developing a sustainable livelihood.
Those entrenched in settled communities are increasingly developing a 'settler-mentality' towards those on the roam. Various pressures within communities globally, and the likes of the above-mentioned dividing factors fueled by governments, lifestyles and the media, play havoc with the human rights in our global system.
Migration and mass migration have been effective in the past. These types of alternative livelihoods should not be discounted and we should guard against entrenched and increasingly negative sentiments towards its legitimacy. Exploring the positives and the development of global benefits of migration should take pole position in ending poverty and in international relations.
