Question

Carlos
Carlos is a 40-year-old man with a wife and two children. Carlos works as a banker in a beautiful island nation. Unexpectedly, an earthquake registering an 8 on the Richter scale hits Carlos's country. Carlos's home is destroyed. Destruction is everywhere, and the few shelters that are set up in the area are at capacity. Carlos has a cousin who lives in Florida. His cousin has a few spare rooms that Carlos and his family can sleep in. Carlos's cousin even knows about a few banks in Florida that are hiring. Carlos discusses things with his wife, and they decide to move to Florida. What push and pull factors are at work in Carlos's story?

Taylor
Ever since Taylor was young, she has been a star tennis player. Anyone who sees her play is confident that she could win a Grand Slam one day. The only thing Taylor lacks is access to good coaches and facilities to practice her tennis game. Taylor wins a scholarship to play tennis at a school in another country. Taylor's family would be unable to join her if she decides to go. Taylor thinks long and hard about her decision. The country to which she's invited to play tennis has a considerably warmer year-round climate than Taylor's native country. She would be able to practice tennis year-round, which she is unable to do now. Ultimately, Taylor and her family decide that it is best for her to move. What push and pull factors are at work in Taylor's story?

Clearly label TWO push factors and TWO pull factors that contributed to Carlos's and Taylor's decision to migrate. Be sure to label which are the push factors and which are the pull factors.
