In term two I conducted a Social inquiry on Migration. My Social inquiry focussed on the movement of migrants from Cambodia to New Zealand. One of the push reasons why Cambodian people left their country of Origin was because they were evacuated, from their country, cities and towns. They were evacuated from their country, because Pol Pot led the Communist forces of the Khmer Rouge into the capital city of Phnom Penh, beginning a vicious four-year regime in Cambodia. Also another push reason was that many Cambodian people died from starvation and exhaustion because they had no food to eat or drink.
The pull reasons why they moved to New Zealand was because there was nothing left for them in their own country. They came to New Zealand because for them New Zealand is a safe country for them. Another pull reason was that many of them were getting executed. It is good that they left their country because they were saving their own lives. I think all of the cambodian people would enjoy their time in New Zealand while they are here.
Some of the obstacles they faced were finding friends in New Zealand. Some Cambodians also didn’t have anywhere to go, so it was hard for them to find somewhere to stay. Also they didn’t know what to use, like their mobile phones. It was also a struggle for them to understand the language, and understand what they actually mean. That some Cambodian people didn’t understand or didn’t know how to speak the language.
My Personal Perspective is that New Zealand is a overwhelmingly place to be, it’s safe here in New Zealand well most of the time and heaps of people are dying in their country, so it’s best for them to stay in New Zealand.
