Nowadays, migration is a vastly known subject, as more and more ppl resort to it, in the hope of finding better living conditions, peacefulness and even safety.
Romania’s emigrant population is the fifth largest in the world and growing, according to the OECD report (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). Because of this, should Romanian teachers promote emigration to richer countries or building a life on native soil?

On the one hand, emigrating might be the best solution. To begin with, high schoolers often think of their future. They see the disadvantages of choosing to stay in their native country: the opportunities of professional development are limited and so are the jobs. These drawbacks will not be present in richer countries, which means emigration is a noteworthy solution and promoting it would be recommended. Moreover, people choosing to move abroad will get rid of pollution. Richer countries have got entry fees for certain categories of cars ( which pollute more than others) to discourage using them. Instead, they provide citizens with well-defined bicycle lanes, unlike Romania.

On the other hand, building a life on native soil has its advantages. One of these advantages would be the ease of visiting their families. Clearly, traveling from a city to another city from the same country is much easier than from a country to another country. This is important because this will help reduce the chances of depression. About all the emigrants are said to have been suffering from depression, because of leaving their culture, habits and families. Moreover, they will never truly get rid of the invisible grating between their new fellow citizens. As much as they will want to belong, there will still be a gap amid emigrants and the others, a gap represented by the differences of culture, language and philosophies. Those stated above do not encourage the promotion of emigration.

In the end, all that matters is choosing what is best for everyone. Every pupil is allowed to make their own decision: either to stay in the country, where their families are and they are acquainted with the culture, either to leave and benefit from better living conditions.
