Migration
movement from one part of something to another.
Like many animals, it is the instinct of people to move around, explore, and develop as a species. Human migration is the permanent change in residence of a person or a group of individuals. This excludes nomad-ism, commuting, and tourism, which are all temporary in nature. Humans migrate for many reasons, such as occupations, climate, refuge, and better living opportunity. As a matter of fact there are 4 specified reasons that people may migrate from place to place.
Firstly is Environmental reasons. Individuals may move to a region due to the climate, environmental cleanliness, accessibility to resources, or natural beauty. For example, if an individual enjoys to ski during winter, but boat during the summer, they may move somewhere in New England, due to the climate, accessibility to mountains and oceans or lakes, and the natural beauty of the whole area.
Second is political reasons. Many groups or people migrate to different areas of the world seeking refuge, and fleeing corruptness, such as war or dictatorship, in their own region. One current example of this would be the current sea of Syrian refugees seeking a new, safer home in all corners of the word. These people are coming to nations like our own, with a cry for help to escape the grasp of corrupt government in the Middle East.
Thirdly is economical opportunity. A vast number of individuals migrate all over the world for new openings in jobs, and occupational promotions. Following work all around the world can benefit a person's income and diversity, and therefore many take up the offer when it is given. For instance, my uncle moved from Massachusetts to Ohio due to a job opening that would better the lives of his family and him.
Finally is cultural reasons. Moving for religious freedom, education, and many other different cultural subcategories is a popular reason for why people migrate. Being able to live in a place of freedom to express oneself is very important to most individuals and therefore can result in them migrating to a more beneficial area for their needs. For example, a large majority of Muslim people live in the Middle East because that is where their culture thrives the most.
Culture
the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.
Culture is one of the central habits of human life. Every person is submerged into a culture, if not multiple cultures, everyday. They can be involved in sports, which have a culture aspect to them. They could attend school or work in a place that thrives with a certain culture that they could apply to their life. Culture brings people's differences and likenesses together, to create a collective establishment of unique yet alike individuals. These groups can come together to create a larger, more diverse culture called a culture mosaic. These exclusive culture mosaics are more disparate and expanded throughout the world. Some examples of a cultural mosaic could be social media, a sports team, your school, a neighborhood, or even a city, town, or region.
cooperation and Conflict
co-op-er-a-shun
assistance, especially by ready compliance with requests.kon-flick-t
a serious disagreement or argument, typically a protracted one.
It is only human nature to agree and disagree on specific topics, however, the real challenge is finding a way to balance the two sides to create a peaceful and fair environment. Cooperation and conflict are hard to balance evenly, however, everyday we must endure some conflict, and use cooperation to solve it. The two go hand in hand as polar opposites. They outplay each other. If you have a conflict, cooperation can be used to cancel it out, however if you are cooperating, and conflict arises, the cooperation may dismantle. One good example of this is if two individuals were in a fight, but then they both decided that they were acting rash, and negotiated the problem, using cooperation, to resolve it.

culture mosaics
- social medias
- teams
- sports
- fan bases
- clubs
- schools
- friend groups
- student councils
- businesses
Each of these things has a cultural mosaic if not many cultural mosaics that hold all of the different components that make that group of individuals unique and special compared to other groups. For example, a fan base has a multitude of people that come together with different perspectives on a movie, artist, singer, actor, or book. Each person has a different personality and idea to bring to the table. these ideas, along with other components of the group, come together to create a special mosaic.
Friend groups can also be a cultural mosaic. All of the different traditions, jokes, and ideas that are central to all friend groups create a miniature culture that is unique to the group of friends. When many of these groups come together in a place such as school, a cultural mosaic of different groups of individuals is made.
Cooperation and Colflict
Power Shifts in the Real World
These power shifts in business can have both negative and positive outcomes. They can be positive when two businesses can share the power they have come to negotiate and both thrive with success, in a partnership. However, sometimes power shifts can end on a sour note. One company can monopolize a product or service, and leave another company out of business. It all depends on how the companies negotiate, and what their intentions are. From the perspective of the company having positive results, the power shift would be an advantage and would be a great thing to happen to the company. However the company experiencing negative results would not be happy with the power shift and may become angry with the opposing country, causing conflict.

Happenings
On the second day the team made a treaty with the A&W the join together as one, larger group. We also experienced an attack from the guerrillas and therefore decided to kill off their leaders and one suspect of communism.
On the third day, election day, My group became much stronger, however was outrun by the guerrillas for MSUs at the last moment. They put their takeover card in play. But when they made their speech the US declared they were using their takeover card to override the guerrillas and give power to my group and I. Nick became president, and Connor was imprisoned. This is how the game ended.
Power Shifts in the Game
None of these power shifts would have been possible without cooperation and conflict however. The constant conflict between the guerrillas and the Army and Wealthy made the power shifts possible. The cooperation of the US with the Government helped for the gov't/A&W to take the win. As one can see these components are very important in the making of power shifts.
