WHY DO PEOPLE MIGRATE? ZASTO SE LJUDI SELE I IMIGRIRAJU?

While I've been painting (see icon in the post below) my mind wanders from time to time and today this was on my mind. I have been longing for a home and sense of belonging in one place for a while but that is just got more predominant living in Denmark due to the very low percentage of immigrants.

WHY DO PEOPLE MIGRATE?

People migrate for many different reasons. These reasons can be classified as either Economic, Social, Political or Environmental. Here are main ones: Better employment opportunities, Higher salaries and additional wealth, Better Educational opportunities, Safety, lower crime, Political stability.

But after all is it worth it? Is that step supposed to make us stronger or more like a coward? I lived in Australia for 7 years and never felt uncomfortable about where I come from. I was asked at an interview in Denmark "Is it hard being Serbian in Denmark?" I sad " Yes,.... in Australia I would have had better chances of getting a job 'cos everyone knows we are hard workers".

I found this quote form the www.migrationsociety.com/ and here is what they are saying for Australia: Australia offers new immigrants a welcome sense of belonging. The coming together of like-minded immigrants who share in the creation of a community, and of a country. Unity, Acceptance, Comfort and Respect for the past, living in the present, anticipating the future. Australia is a wonderful country that balances health, education and wealth in equal measure. Where you can enjoy exceptional amenities and an unparalleled "Quality of Life"

I have to say it's all true. I now realize how good it was, and how nice people can be. So, yes I believe I made a mistake coming to live here, and I am debating wheather was I brave or a coward to do this. Would I ever find a home of my own or place of belonging? To all of you living abroad, you know how I feel.

Dok ovih dana slikam (pogledaj zadnji clanak) misli mi odleprsaju sa vremena na vreme. Vec duze vreme ceznem za svojim domom i mesto gde bih se osecala kao kod kuce, ali ovo me je spopalo otkad sam u Danskoj zbog malog broja imigranata.

ZASTO SE LJUDI SELE I MIGRIRAJU?

Ljudi se sele zbog vise razloga a najcesci su: bolja mogucnosti zaposljavanja, vece plate i bonusi, bolje obrazovanje, bezbednost i niski kriminal, politicka stabilnost.

Ali posle svega da li se to isplati, da li nas ovaj korak napravi snaznijim ili vise kao kukavice? Zivela sam u Australiji 7 godina i nikad se nisam osetila neprijatno zbog mog porekla. Na razgovoru za posao ovde u Danskoj pitali su me: "Da li tesko biti Srbin u Danskoj?" moj odgovor: " Da jer u Australijij ja sam imala vecu sansu dobiti posao jer tamo znaju da smo mi jako dobri radnici"!

Ovo je clanak koji sam na nasla o Australiji na www.migrationsociety.com/ Australija nudi novim imigrantima dobrodosli osecaj pripadnosti. Dolazak istomisljenika imigranata koji zive u slozi i zajednici. Ujedinjenost, prihvatljivost, udobnost i postovanje za proslost, zivot u sadasnjosti, i ocekujuci buducnost. Australiaj je predivna zemlja koja ima balansa u zdrastvu, obrazovanju, i mere podjednakog bogatsva. Gde mozete uzivati izuzetne sadrzaje i neusporediv "Kvalitet zivota".

Ja vam iz iskustva mogu rece da je to tacno! Ja znam da sam napravila gresku dolaskom u Dansku, ali sam debitujem da li sam ja to bila hrabra ili sam bila kukavica? Da li cu ikad naci mesto i dom? Za sve vas koji zivite van domovine, znate kako se osecam.
