When we're younger we don't think about the reasons why people immigrate, they just do. One day there's a new kid in the class telling stories about where they came from and you never ask them why they came to Canada instead we just listen in awe to their stories. As we get older we begin to understand there are many different reasons why people immigrate, sometimes people just want a new expierience and sometime it's for work or family and sometimes it's more. Fiddler on the Roof teaches us about the different reasons that people immigrate. In Fiddler the main reason that the family immigrated to America and Poland was because of the pogrom that was forced onto them. Teyve and his family was forced to leave Russia because the government didn't want them. Now people immigrate to escape their home counrtry or because of natural disasters. Being forced to leave your country still isn't a thought on your mind because living in Canada it's something you could never imagine your government doing to you. After reading "Fiddler on the Roof" it's really opened my mind to the reasons why people immirgate to different countries.
Reflection
This assignment helped to show us how historical globalization has effected globalization today. The reasons that people move have changed a lot in the past century or so but some of the reasons have stayed the same such as escaping a place that isn't safe for you to be in. Overall I quite enjoyed reading Fiddler on the Roof and most of the assignments that went with it.
