Immigration
Preliminary thesis: Migrating to a foreign overseas country offers an opportunity to learn new languages as well as new cultures of the world. Understanding new languages and cultures do not only expand an individual's knowledge but also promotes diversity and global integration, (Payan, 2016). Learning to communicate foreign languages enables an individual to seek employment in foreign countries while understanding new cultures enables an individual to live in harmony with society.
Section 1: The topic of immigration is very interesting for me because I have my own experience of moving to a foreign country. I have relevant information about immigration based on personal experience. My experience serves as a reliable primary source of information about this topic. I have enough background information that will enable me to effectively cover the topic of immigration. As such, this topic is a good choice for my research.
Section 2: It is essential to understand the effect of immigration on the cultures practiced in different parts of the world. The topic of choice for research is relevant to the world and especially all countries affected by the current immigration crisis. Immigration has been an issue of concern for many European nations in the last few years, (Geddes & Scholten, 2016). Many people from various parts of the world are traveling long distances and crossing oceans hoping to establish new lives in Europe and America. This has to had an impact on the cultures and languages of the immigrants as well as those of the society they move into, (Mahfud, et.al., 2018). Research on this topic will give meaningful insight into this issue.
Section 3: Immigration often offers better opportunities for individuals than they would otherwise get in their home countries. Perhaps this is the main reason why thousands of people are moving to foreign countries each day, (Dinesen, et.al., 2016). Foreign countries have been linked with employment opportunities and higher standards of living. However, the majority of immigrants do not follow the legal procedure of immigration. This often results in undesirable consequences such as deportation and sometimes denial of services. As such, it is important to research this topic to highlight the legal procedures that should be followed, (Koopmans, 2019). Furthermore, conducting research will identify the many challenges that arise in the process of immigration.
