itself, which is something you can't find anywhere else, it is indicated as having intellectual impact
and cultural power. The most amazing travel destination in the world, Japan offers several one-of-
a-kind experiences that you won't find anyplace else. While some students are drawn to Japan
because of its high educational standards, others are drawn there because of its extensive cultural
history. Japan is one of the most well-liked countries for international students, with more than

international students. The Tokyo metropolitan area is also the largest city-region in the world and
the hub of many of Japan's cutting-edge operations. The competitive strength of new cultural

aesthetic are distinctive. With many one-of-a-kind experiences available only in Japan, it is the most
amazing travel destination. One of the reasons students choose to study in Tokyo is the country's
high educational standards. In addition, the Tokyo metropolitan area is the biggest city-region in
the world and is where the majority of Japan's cutting-edge services are based. Recent years have

REFLCETION ACTIVITY

Pregnancy planning in general, and birth control use in particular, is linked to a slew of benefits
for women, men, children, and community, including fewer unintended pregnancies and abortions,
increased educational and economic opportunities for young women, and enhanced maternal and infant
health. The only continent where the medication is free or significantly discounted is North America. The
pill is completely or partially subsidized in the majority of Western European nations, however Spain and
Ireland, both of which have strong Catholic roots, do not. Most of the former Soviet Union's Eastern
Europe also doesn't. Moreover, I was taught the population myth she mentions, in which overpopulation
was often highlighted as the issue, rather than governments, policies, or poverty, and I was too young to
challenge it at the time. When the subject was first introduced in elementary school, it was probably in
geography or social studies. Since then, I've heard a little more about Malthus, a political economist who
said that reproduction is balanced by the struggle for survival. I didn't link his hypothesis to existing
overpopulation activities around the world. I might have this backwards, but I thought Hartmann said that
the worse a population's condition got, the more it grew, and that in better economic climates,
populations tended to achieve equilibrium, which is what I understood Malthus to mean. I believe she is
implying that if the economic climate is altered, such as by reducing poverty, the "over-population"
problem will resolve itself without the need to target women as reproducers. The underlying growth rate
of the economy, structural productivity growth, living standards, savings rates, consumption, and
investment can all be impacted by demographic change. It can also have an effect on the long-run
unemployment rate and equilibrium interest rate, housing market trends, and the demand for financial
assets.

SYNTHESIS

How many opportunities waiting in that country for being migrant?

Someone I spoke to indicated that there are numerous employment opportunities available and that
people may get good wages even working at drive-through restaurants. People can come here to receive
greater education as well as access to better chances and living conditions.

Is it easy to be migrant in that country? Is it safe?

Being a migrant in the US is apparently changing in positive terms. The US government provides
opportunities for those who want to start a new life and contribute to the economy and general welfare
of society. Basically, there are pros and cons to the story. However, dealing with the situation of being a
migrant is more like an adventure that could provide new insights, new learning and understanding, and
most especially, a new opportunity to embark on and grow with. Being a migrant in the US is hard,
especially since you need to adjust yourself not only physically but culturally. But the nature of diversity
that has been fostered and continuously forged in the US helps migrants deal with difficult situations that
they are facing.
