Abstract
The increase in the intensity of different types of migration—economic, ethnic, and labor—is a characteristic sign of globalization, and the share of migrants in the permanent population of countries reflects the degree of involvement in globalization processes. At the same time, migration processes have both positive and negative sides, and in some cases, they can be a source of contradictions and conflicts. Within the framework of the present study, attention is focused on discriminatory treatment in the process of migration, especially on the use of hate speech, which is reaching larger scales and is characteristic of migrants. Another characteristic of external migration in the context of globalization is international migration for educational purposes. International migratory movement is mainly a characteristic of the population of developing countries, and the main motive for movement is the desire to receive foreign education. Migration for education has both positive and negative consequences.
