Many people believe that migration across national borders promotes development and international understanding.Other suggest that more often it causes severe problems for the countries that people migrate from and the countries that they migrate to.
Discuss these opinions and atate your own conclusion on the issue(胡敏《高分作文》样题12)
Migration has attracted many people’s attentions now.Naturally,just like other controversial issues,diverse viewpoints whether for migration or against it,have appeared.
Frankly speaking,I am a supporter of migration.First of all,since capital,especially financial capital can freely move from one country to another,I don’t think there is any valid point against the application of the same principle to the mankind.In the last resort,it is these persons’ basic right to seek better life.In fact,it should be remembered that migration is almost as old as the birth of mankind,each person of us can be safely called the offspring of a past immigrant.
Furthermore,whether the countries send or receive immigrants,they have benefited from migration.To the immigrants’ destination,the immigrants offer labour,whether high-skilled or low –skilled,of which these countries are in great need.And this is the very reason why these countries accept them..Moreover,the homeland of these immigrants have benefited from the information,technology,money,social connections brought back by its former dwellers.
However,some people may argue that these immigrants,accepting jobs without regard to wage level.have stolen the jobs of local workers.I don’t approve it at all.Obviously,many immigrants’ jobs are the very jobs which local workers refuse due to low wage and bad environment.As for the high-skilled jobs,they are what local people are not able to do.At any rate,the immigrants are nothing but scape goats,the blame placed on them is unfair.
Some opponents may ascribe worsened racial tension to immigrants.It is not a valid point,as well.Racial tension arise from some people’s prejudices which can be applied to any alien people,e.g. the ethnic group,just as the case of Ku-Klux-Klan shows.The best way to overcome racial tension,however, is by no means excluding each alien people from our life,this way is fantastic.On the contrary,people must learn how to get on with alien cultures and life styles,they must be accustomed to these cultures and life styles.Anyway,we can no longer lead a onefold,simple lif as before in an era of globalisation.And immigrants,taking their own cultures and life styles,will facilitate cross-culture understanding a lot.
On the whole,so long as mankind has not disappeared,migration will not stop,in spite of the counterviews.
