Article

 I have just read an article about a terrible accident which happened in 'Chardon High School', Ohio. On Monday morning, a student Mr. Lane took a gun with him to the school. In the morning, he fired his first shoots in the cafeteria. When police officers entered the school, they found five students. Three of them were unconscious and other students were bleeding. One hour later, the police found a criminal. Mr. Lane explained that he chose his victims randomly and he is sorry. Unfortunately, three of the victims have died and two others were wounded.

Emigration

The Causes Of Emigration
 Emigration is the act of leaving one’s country or region to settle in another. Emigration is a widely discussed issue in the 21st century. Lithuania’s statistics department declared that 10,7 thousand people emigrate every month. Citizens of the European Union are free to cross another country’s border. As a result, the number of emigrants increases every day.  It has been noticed that emigration is caused due to economy, politic and personal reasons.
 Firstly, the main aspect of emigration is based on a country’s economy. Money is a major feature why people go abroad. The need of money has increased highly. Foreign countries offer high salaries for educated people. Accordingly, the majority of Lithuania’s best specialists emigrate. Furthermore, concerning the lack of work places, people choose to live in a foreign country. Unemployment is the main reason of emigration. Besides, people want a cheaper life. They want to gain a financial stability and better future prospects.
 Secondly, emigration is caused by political reasons. For instance, the war In Iraq forced many people to leave their native country. Unstable politic in a country affects peoples’ lives. What is more, lack of political freedom provokes peoples’ wishes to live in another country. For example, in Egypt the majority of citizens protest against political situation. These acts cause emigration, especially among young people. As a result, a country is not safe to live in. Additionally, political persecution causes emigration. These reasons create emigration in the whole world, as every country’s economy is unpredictable.
 Thirdly, personal needs play a huge role in the cause of emigration. For example, in Lithuania a simple worker may get a higher salary than a person with a diploma. The value of a higher education has decreased rapidly.  What is more, people emigrate in order to be valued with a high education and improve their knowledge. Another personal reason is marriage. It may happen because of a mixed marriage. One of the spouses has to sacrifice and move to another country. Moreover, usually people want a higher standard of living and think that a foreign country is a solution to the problem. Therefore, most of the citizens travel abroad.
 Taking everything into account, people emigrate because of many reasons. The world is changing and people have to adapt to innovations. If a person is not eager to make it, he moves to another location. Emigration is a process caused by many factors such as money, unemployment, political freedom, education and many other reasons. It is a common issue in the whole world. Emigration and the causes will last as long as life endures.
