Emigracja. (emigrating)

Between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history. Mostly Europeans left their homelands to start new life mainly in America. Why did these people risk everything leaving their homes and families? First, one major cause was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. Another was politics. The army grew and many young men fled to avoid being conscripted. Also, the failure of the liberal revolutions in Europe caused the departure of thousand of refugees. Reigion also encouraged millions to leave Europe. In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons.
Currently the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. Many people move to a new country in search of a new life.
Nowadays people emigrate because they want to grow the riches. In a country, where they live, it is difficult to find well - paid job because there is a big competition. Secondly people who emigrate want to join their families. Another point is that people have to leave their country because their company sends them to a foreign country. There are also some cases when people want to escape because they are persecuted or they live in a country where are hurricanes, earthquakes or volcano eruptions. People are afraid about their lives and they choose safer places to live.
In my opinion emigrants choose places which they always like and want to live in, they select rich countries because it is easier there to start afrash.
People who take the plunge have to change their lifestyle. They have to find a new place to live in, work and new friends. It is easier when they know local language because it helps to adopt, meet people, get better job. However, it is difficult to start from the beginning. Emigrating is an expensive business. People need money but all they have they spend on the most important things. If they find good work they are lucky chaps. It is also hard to get used to new culture, food and weather. People can feel very lonely but in many cases families have much more time to one another, they become closer. They miss their friends and they want to adjust as soon as possible.
