"Article Evaluation" The second paragraph in "Human Migration," provides some useful examples of the errors made throughout the entirety of the piece. The information provided about "nomadic movements," is not only subjective (as it makes assumptions for the entire group's intentions), but it also incorrect, as per the articles source (that estimates 30-40 million people maintain this lifestyle as of late 1990's). This paragraph also provides incorrect information about the "temporary movement of people," as it states that it is "not regarded as immigration." Many facts presented in the article are also inaccurate, or incorrect. For example, the statistic regarding the "total number of immigrants" in 2011. This actually refers to the number of international migrants, not the total number of migrants, and it does not state this fact. Information is out of date in some places (the remittance GDP), and there are very little sources provided for anything other than statistical information; this renders the article mainly conjecture. The article also includes "Osmosis theory" among some of the ones discussed in class; according to author, this theory "explains the whole phenomenon of human migration." After briefly reading the original source, it is clear that the material has not been properly understood, and it has been incorrectly summarized and therefore should not be included.
