In the past, when humans were nomad and
traveled regularly due to various circumstances , the phenomenon of re-
emigration was just a normal part of life. But when they settled the decision
to move was quite a change which involved great efforts.
But why people who had emigrated seeking a
better quality of life, when a crisis in the country was presented, they remained
there and not return?
Normally, most of the people who left their
homeland in search of a better future and accompanied by a better quality of
life, did not return to their homeland for several reasons. One of them was the
family. Having a family, often made even more difficult to migrate. Another
reason was to have a job. If you had a work the need to return was not so
deeply felt even thought this job was not giving him what he really wanted.
Back to the homeland meant very expensive
decision for the reasons mentioned above, the costs of travel, to let friends
who had, the learned language and culture (which for many is a high cost for
not being prepared) and a deep belief that the country where they were at that
time had more ability to get out of the crisis itself, that they had left.
Well. With the advent of low cost travels ,
learning more languages, "globalization ", the asset it means to
know other cultures , the elimination of " customs and immigration borders
" and the signing of international agreements that facilitate the
mobilization of human resources , re- emigrate is no so complicated. The person
who re- emigrate has a different profile that migrates first . We consider re-
emigrate to leave the country in search of a third country that is not their own but one that provides
more chances of getting a better quality of life, which for various reasons
have had to leave ( eg, loss of a job).
People who re- migrate searching of a
better future that they believe they won´t find if they stay where they are,
they have a fighting spirit, innate entrepreneurial skills and a very important
asset the knowledge of another culture (although countries were of the same
language have different thoughts and behaviors ). But they face a new challenge,
a fresh start and a new culture, which often take considerable time to re-
adapt , re- learning and re -understanding. Ideally, people who move because of studies,
work, etc. . to other cultures went with cultural baggage that allows them to
be inserted a much easier way in the new
social group. I refer not only to the language (which helps a lot ) but an understanding of how think those people,
why, what behaviors expected of foreigners, how to handle conflictive situations,
etc. to find work faster, having less
conflict with neighbors and co-workers , understanding the adminsitrative structures making the
process of re- insertation in the new social group, successful.
Think moving to Germany, a country of Latin
America , China or Spain ? You know how to introduce yourself, find a job, make
a resume, work with them, negotiate, discuss what issues and what not, etc.. I
invite you to learn more and better understand those cultures they will visit
