Human Migration

Why Do Human's Migrate?
Climate
If it is too hot or cold to sustain human life, then people will migrate to an area that can sustain life. Those people who venture to a different land usually bring new things to where ever they go. They leave their imprint on that part of the world. They bring a different religion that people don't quite understand. They also leave artwork behind. That art can tell us more about the people and possibly where they came from. For instance, in the mountains in Asia, there are rooms built into mountains. The rooms are filled with artwork from hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, the paintings are literally crumbling into dust from erosion. Even though the air is perfect to keep the paintings in pretty good condition, they are said to be gone in a few hundred years.
War
Today, Syrian refuges are flooding into Germany and other surrounding countries, trying to get out before ISIS gets to them. They are running from the war, hoping to begin a new life; but they are being greeted with bad intentions. The refuges have been known to literally flood the streets with their numbers, causing a public disturbance. They are seen as horrible people because of their religion in some countries. They are starting to be turned back to Syria because they are Muslim and the countries just can't take in any more people.
My Life
Last year I contracted pneumonia. Because of that, I have a harder time breathing when the air is hot. My lungs are going to heal, but it will take time. I'm also allergic to pollen. When the pollen count is high, I can't go outside even though I took my allergy meds.
