Research Summary

This research was focused on seeing the approval people really have on those immigrating from other
countries. Through the various questions asked, I was able to identify that all immigrants for the most
part are immigrating not because the want to, but because the opportunity to improve their quality of
life would increase. They love their homeland but various factors keep them from enjoying their life to
their full potential. I also asked if people empathized with those immigrants and for the most part most
people would welcome immigrants if it meant they would have an increased chance of success. I
surveyed a total of 17 people around NDNU, students and faculty from all ages shared their
opinions on immigration.

My primary goal while conducting this research is to further understand the reasons why

people immigrate from country to country and how politics play a role in the decision making. 

factors contribute to the ultimate decision of leaving one country for the next. Economic disparity,
wars, and many other similar uncontrollable circumstances ruin the lives of many people living around
the world. When thinking about the contemporary reasons people immigrate, political and familial
influences are at center stage.
