Antwerp diaspora

Antwerp diaspora:

Did you know the 17th century was the golden age of Antwerp.
There are lots of examples of diasporas however one of them is trade diaspora. A trade diaspora is a community, often members of an extended family, that goes abroad to conduct trade in a host society. One of the examples of a trade diaspora is the Antwerp diaspora.
The Antwerp diaspora was a trade diaspora.
One of the reasons why the Antwerp diaspora is a trade diaspora because of the religious and political events of the 1560s and 1570s intervened. Making the Dutch revolt against the Spanish rule which toppled the commercial dominance of Antwerp, as well as the southern provinces. The Religious and political repression gave unrest, more policing, ever higher taxes to pay for this policing, revolts, more repression, war and destruction. This caused a gliding downfall of production, trade, banking and business in general. Belgium was ruined, with more than half of the surviving population fleeing, mainly to the north.
That North (now Holland / The Netherlands) became free and independent therefore over 40% of the population of Amsterdam consisted of immigrants, mainly from Antwerp. With them most of the trade, banking and intellectual elite of the south.
The Antwerp diaspora is a trading diaspora, religious and political events caused most of Belgium to leave to the north ( Holland) because the became free and independent: the Golden Age of Holland in the making.

Diasporas and migration crisis

Lots of people leave their country and go away, but why?
Imperial diaspora is migrants who go to another land that has been conquered by their own nation and enjoy higher status on account of their national ties to the ruling power.
Many of the people are moving to lands who have been conquered by the empire to have better lives working for the empire.
The Hungarian imperial diaspora, happened because of the border changes of the post in world war 1, the victorious forces redrew the borders of Hungary so that it runs through Hungarians majority areas. As consequences 3.3 million Hungarians found themselves outside the new borders and not anymore in Hungarian territory. The distribution of Hungarians are mostly in Slovakia, Serbia, Romania and in Ukraine.
The Russian imperial diaspora, took place at the beginning of the 1990s, Russia had experienced one of the most dramatic periods in its history, as a result losing the former administrative Russian Republic of the Soviet Union who became a separate sovereign state. Israel and Germany received the largest shares of Russian speaking immigrants, because of incentives provided by the governments of both countries.
There are different types of diasporas however a imperial diaspora is when people leave their country and go to another land which has been conquered by their own nation. The verb form of diaspora is diaspeiro. In each instance, diaspeiro relates to the scattering of the Christians of Hellenistic Jewish origin (Greek-speaking Jewish Christians from the diaspora) in areas where there was a non-Jewish majority, but also in the area around Jerusalem and toward Samaria. The unique contribution of these verses in the use of diaspeiro is that those who were scattered served essential factors in the expansion of early Christianity or to missions.

Bananas are better than pineapples

Many people like pineapples, but why if there are bananas!!! 
Pineapples and bananas are two different fruit however many people prefer pineapples or bananas. Bananas are grown at banana farms in tropical regions of the world. pineapple originated in the Americas, most likely in the region where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet. However I think that bananas have more benefits than pineapples.
I like pineapples however I seem to prefer bananas better.
For example bananas are a perfect snack before, in between or after activities. As well as Bananas are very sweet and they are very easy to peel open, so perfect for kids. Although some people have braces they might not be able to eat everything however bananas are soft and there is no risk of you braces coming of.
So when you feel like eating a pineapple you first have to peel it which you need lots of force as well as a sharp knife which is very dangerous for small kids. However with a banana it's safe for everyone because all you have to do is take the peel of which is done in 2 seconds. Although pineapples are not that bad to eat, after a few bites my tongue starts to tingle making it feel very disturbing and sometimes painful. As well as painful tongues pineapples also are very annoying when you want a smoothie and you pug it in the mixer, the mixer starts to block however with bananas they mix perfectly. Pineapples are also harder which makes it not that handy for people with braces.
 Bananas are clearly the best fruit ever since because they are easy to peel, eat and are super delicious. If you want to see more about bananas watch the minions.

Migrants going to Belgium

For days and weeks migrants mostly from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have been traveling to Europe, of which some of them have decided to immigrate to Belgium, but why?
In the countries Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan there is a civil war going on, therefore lots of people (migrants) are going away from there home country to travel further to Europe to avoid the serious war going on in their country.
Many of the migrants are emigrating from Budapest to Belgium because Belgium is a wealthy and safe country to live in.
For example Belgium provides the migrants financial support, health care, education, monthly money, food, a flat to live in ect.
Belgium only provides this if the people come from a country with war but not when they are an economical refugee because then you are send back.
Once they are signed in and checked they are allowed to stay.
The migrants not only want to go to Belgium however also to Germany, Holland, Canada, America, Italy and more however the reason is because these countries are safe and far away from war. The migrants will get more money and everything else they need. For example they would not like to stay in Hungary because here they would earn less.
 No one would like to stay in a country where there is non stop war, non stop killing going on and where you don't feel safe. I think instead of waiting till all the population of those countries come to Europe I think we should try and help in the countries where there is war so we can stop it and let the people live in their country. If it hasn't happened it's only a matter of time until the migrants take over Belgium.
