Es. 17

Lots of kids dream of being an astronaut but may not realise how intense the program is or what the actual responsibilities are. An astronaut boards a spacecraft to fly on missions for very specific purposes. Astronauts work as part of a crew and therefore have specific responsibilities aboard the spacecraft. Astronauts go through very specialised and intense training to prepare for these space missions. They must pass certain physical requirements as well as the comprehensive academic and mental exams. Astronauts fly to various destinations to conduct research and experiments. The missions may vary and therefore the actual focus and responsibilities of the astronaut will change with each mission. There are various roles that an astronaut may cover as a part of the spacecraft’s crew, ranging from a mission specialist to a commander. Not only are astronauts responsible for fulfilling the terms, or purpose, of their mission, but they arealso responsible for ensuring the safety of the spacecraft and the crew. Astronauts will often observe the environment they fly to, bringing something back from there. Astronauts must ensure that they keep in the good physical shape, since they will need to be fit to fly a spacecraft and carry out missions

1. Effective integration policies can enrich countries economically, socially and culturally, generating new opportunities for development.
2. There seems to be the impression that international migration is out of control, that governments are feeble in the face of unstoppable movements, and that migrants are threatening the social fabric of many countries.
3. Migrants and refugees are often vulnerable people fleeing war, violence or extreme hardship. They may have endured great trials, crossing continents, and losing relatives and friends. In host countries they are often viewed as a threat to local values and cultures, a burden on taxpayers.
4. Asylum seekers and humanitarian migrants represent only a fraction of total migration flows.
5. There is an exaggerated perception of how much migrants cost and how much they access social benefits. The evidence reported annually by OECD shows that migrants are productive members of society who work in various sectors, set up businesses and have innovative ideas.
6. Xenophobia and discrimination must be fought just like smuggling and corruption and the illegal employment of foreign workers.
7. The domestic issues are economic costs, political costs, instability, and the erosion of social cohesion.
8. As well as recognising qualifications, there should be efforts to improve literacy and language proficiency, and provide adult education and vocational training. Host countries also need to build ties between migrant and host country communities
