Question

DIRECTIONS: For each lettered scenario, decide

1) if it is centrifugal (PUSH) or centripetal (PULL) and

2) whether it is Environmental, Economic, or Political/Cultural

Scenario A) Afshan was targeted and nearly killed by the Taliban for supporting education for girls. Conflict within Afghanistan in the past decades has been increasing. Afshan’s family fled Afghanistan for Pakistan in hopes of safety and a promising future.


Can someone please help me with this. I understand that it is a push factor; what I don't understand is whether its Environmental, Economical, or Political/Cultural. I'm leaning more towards the Environmental one, but I need a second opinion. If you choose one, could you please explain to me why?

Answer 1

Scenario A) Afghan was targeted and nearly killed by the Taliban for supporting education for girls. Is a PUSH factor and is political.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As the scenario depicts the afghan being targeted by the Taliban for supporting the girl child this means that they are against the development aspects and that they don't see it necessary for the girl child to get educated in school.

• Thus the afghan moves out of there nations in search for a better opportunity and to safeguard there lives as other nations like Pakistan offer them better and good chances to development which is condenser as a pull factor and they do it for the political instability /cultural cause, not for an economical or environmental.
