Definition
Migration
is the term used to describe people moving over a
certain distance from their "usual place of residence"
to another.

Classification of
the World and of
Countries
During the Cold War, leaders all over the globe
agreed to classify the world into 3 categories:
World Classification
1. First world - refers to the states which have
high income and are capital rich
2. Second world - refers to the former
communist-socialist, industrial states
3. Third world - refers to nations not aligned with
either the first world or second world
Studies show that the pre-modern migration of human
populations began with the movement of Homo erectus out
of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago. Homo
sapiens appears to have occupied all of Africa about
150,000 years ago;
some members of this species moved out of Africa
70,000 years ago .

Migration to the Americas took place 20,000 to 15,000
years ago.
West-Eurasian back-migrations into Africa happened
between 30,000 to 15,000 years ago, as well as pre-
Neolithic and Neolithic back-migrations, followed by the
Arab expansion in Medieval times.
The Early Medieval Great Migrations including Turkic
expansion have left significant traces. In some places, such
as Turkey and Azerbaijan, there was a substantial cultural
transformation after the migration of relatively small elite
populations.
Early humans migrated due to many factors, such as American Era

Migration remains a contentious issue in Western societies. While some argue that migration is
essential for economic growth and cultural enrichment, others see it as a threat to national identity
and security.

Latin American
Civilization
"Latin American civilization" refers to the cultural and historical
heritage of the countries located in Central America, South America,
and the Caribbean that speak Romance languages, primarily Spanish
and Portuguese.
The Spanish and Portuguese colonization of the region in the 16th and
17th centuries brought new cultural, religious, and political influences

Migration & Latin
American Civilization
The region has been shaped by a complex mix of migration patterns, including indigenous, European,
African, and Asian migrations.
The indigenous peoples of Latin America migrated across the continent for centuries before the arrival
of Europeans, establishing complex networks of trade and cultural exchange.
The region continues to experience significant internal and international migration, driven by economic,
political, and social factors.

Migration & Sinic
Civilization
Chinese migration has been motivated by a variety of factors, including economic opportunities,
political instability, and war.
In ancient times, migration played a key role in the spread of Chinese culture and civilization to
neighboring regions, such as Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.
Chinese migration to other countries has also led to cultural exchange and diversity, with Chinese
communities around the world maintaining their cultural traditions and practices.

Hindu
Indus River Valley -the birthplace of Hinduism
Originated around 4,500-5,000 B.C.E. and reached its peak between 2300 to
2000 BC.
"Hindu" originates from the Sanskrit word for river, "sindhu," which was
mispronounced by the Persians who designated the land around the Indus
River as Hindu.
Buddhism died out in India but continued to thrive in other parts of Asia
The central message of Buddhism remained consistent, emphasizing the root of unhappiness as desire
and the attainment of illumination through meditation and compassion.
Buddhism assimilated local beliefs rather than fighting them, spreading through peaceful proselytization.
TCW | 2023
Orthodox
The co-founding directors of the Orthodox Christian Studies Program
were struck by ways in which Orthodox authors had created artificial
categories of “East” and “West” and then used that distinction as a basis
for self-definition.
Between 1886 and 1911, more than 400,000 men and women left Japan for the U.S. and U.S.-controlled lands,
and significant emigration continued for at least a decade beyond that.
The two most popular destinations were the archipelago of Hawaii and America's Pacific coast
Japanese immigrants began their journey to the United States in search of peace and prosperity, leaving
an unstable homeland for a life of hard work and the chance to provide a better future for their children.
African
Africa has experienced significant forced migrations of people,
including the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trades
-Ralph Austen
a historian
estimates that between 800 and 1900 CE, about 10 million
people were forcibly migrated, with 4 million crossing the
Sahara, 2 million coming to Egypt through the Nile Valley, and
another 4 million reaching the Middle East and India via the
Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
