Human beings have always moved from one place to

another. The freedom to move is so precious that it is a protected human right.

Our discussion of the global migration is the main reason they move to their original or

patronage area is to leave them alone, hurting them for the sake of their misfortune

because their neighbors are left homeless and they have lost their place.

This way, you will notice that you live in a place where I am not feeling well or not feeling

well because you meditate or when you give up the sand so that you can notice what you

are looking for without answers.

Immigration is when a person freely chooses to move to another place. It might be

temporary or permanent. Immigrants often move to resettle as a family, to fulfill a job
placement, or as a reprieve from situations of injustice and crime .

But, not all movements are chosen freely. Some people, including whole families and
communities, have been forced to move. Some have been forced to move because of human
trafficking. Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery.

Nearly one percent many people of the world’s population is affected by forced
displacement. It is a crisis of global proportions and immense moral and ethical
implications.

Forced migration, in all its forms, is a denial of human dignity and a violation of human
rights.

Injustices arising from historical and contemporary colonialism and racism continue today
to ravage the lives of immigrants and refugees. They experience many forms of racial
discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance in their countries of transit and destination.

What the Bible and The United Methodist Church Say:

Resource inequality and the unequal development of nations resulting from human-made
and natural disasters have caused massive displacement and forced migration. The United
Methodist Church says, “In order to provide basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter,
education, health care, and other necessities, ways must be found to share more equitably
the resources of the world.”

“Global migration as a factor in the quest for justice is a major priority of The United
Methodist Church as a denomination that is global in vision, mission and ministries. This
concern is rooted in both a biblical mandate for justice and a commitment to the future of
the church.” (Book of Resolutions, 6028)

Radical hospitality, rooted in our biblical understanding of God’s abundant love and
provision, helps us to imagine a world of plenty, rather than scarcity, and a world of
welcome, rather than fear that’s it .

Our discussion of the global city is a great step forward in knowing that we are a sanctified

nation, which we can scarcely know by studying it yourself.

These services are often complex and require highly specialized skills. Thus they are
subject to agglomeration economics, and tend to cluster in a limited number of cities.
Because specialized talent and firms related to different specialties can cluster in different
cities, this means that there are actually a quite a few of these specialized production nodes,
because they don’t necessarily directly compete with each other, having different groupings
of specialties.

In this world then, a global city is a significant production point of specialized financial and
producer services that make the globalized economy run. Sassen covered specifically New
York, London, and Tokyo in her book, but there are many more global cities than this.
The question then becomes how to identify these cities, and perhaps to determine to what
extent they function as global cities specifically, beyond all of the other things that they do
simply as cities. Naturally this lends itself to our modern desire to develop league tables.

A number of studies were undertaken to produce various rankings. However, when you
look at them, you see that the definition of global city used is far broader than Sassen’s core
version. Wikipedia lists some of the general characteristics people tend to refer to when
talking about global cities.

As you can see, this is quite a hodge-podge of items, many of which are only tangentially
related to globalization per se. In effect, many of them seek to define cities only in term of
global prominence rather than functionally as related to the global economy. That’s
certainly a valid way to look at it, but it raises the point that we should probably clarify
what we are talking about when we talk about global cities.

They took lists of firms in four specific service industries – accounting, advertising,
banking, and law – and determined where those firms maintained branches and such
around the world in order to determine the importance of various cities as production
nodes of these services. This has some weaknesses in that it doesn’t necessarily distinguish
whether say a particular accounting firm is doing routine type work of the sort accountants
have always been doing, or performing advanced work of a type specific to globalization,
but it at least tries to derive lists related to the production of services.

As the global city concept grew in popularity, various other organizations entered the fray
that's it .

The discussion of Global stratification to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals and
groups in societies around the world.

Global inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources among individuals and
groups based on their position in the social hierarchy. Modern sociologists, however,
generally speak of stratification in terms of socioeconomic status . A person’ personality is
usually determined by their income, occupational prestige, wealth, and educational
attainment, though other variables are sometimes considered.

Stratification refers to the range of social classes that result from variations in
socioeconomic status. Significantly, because SES measures a range of variables, it does not
merely measure economic inequality. For example, despite earning equal salaries, two
persons may have differences in power, property, and prestige. These three indicators can
indicate someone’s social position; however, they are not always consistent.

Inequality occurs when a person’s position in the social hierarchy is tied to different access
to resources, and it largely depends on differences in wealth. For example, a wealthy
person may receive higher quality medical care than a poor person, have greater access to
nutritional foods, and be able to attend higher caliber schools. Material resources are not
distributed equally to people of all economic statuses.

Macro-level analyses of stratification can include global analyses of how positions in the
international economic system shape access to resources and opportunities. For example,
the small African nation of American citizens is significantly indebted to European nations
and the U.S., and the majority of its industry is controlled by foreign investors. As the
nation’s economy has ceded control of once-public services, such as electricity, its citizens
have lost jobs and the price of electricity has increased. Thus, the nation’s position in the
world economy has resulted in poverty for many of its citizens that’s it. .
