This term paper will focus on how to make the decision to leave one's homeland to settle down elsewhere and how this can be realized successfully. The aim is to assist people with a free desire to set up a new existence abroad by finding out if emigration is the solution for them and with an summary of important information for the emigration and the integration in the new country. Therefore, some general scientifically based information around emigration are given at the beginning to form a fundamental understanding. After this basic introduction follows the first main part, the decision making. The mechanics of decision making in general as well as the opportunities and risks for emigrants will be addressed. Afterwards follows the praxis orientated part with elementary questions for the emigration decision by using practical experiences. Furthermore, in the second main part, guidelines to realize an emigration and the necessary arrangements in the home and destination country will be given in the form of a checklist. Finally, the most important results will be summed up and some perspectives about another important emigration population next to the freewills emigrants – the so called "refugees" – will be focused on.

Excerpt from the Book
3.1 Decision Making
Decision making is the “thought process of selecting a logical choice from the available options.” Things we do and words we say are results of decisions e.g. wearing a red short, going to work. These are simple decision but making a decision, of any importance like emigration, is never simple. Positives and negatives of each option must be weighted. Furthermore, all alternatives must be considered. And it is not just about making the right decision, luck or bad luck can also influence actions like emigrations. Additionally, not everything is predictable or can be planned.
