Borderlines


Today I will talk about borders between countries.
Borders are those imaginary lines that separates countries from one another, these lines helps to measure how big a country or a continent is, but at the same time keeps alive nationalism and xenophobia.
Even though it is true that the borderlines helps the government to maintain order and give limits to have in mind the whole population to do public policies, these separations between countries can also mean hard conflicts since in this world the biggest, the better.
In the system that we all are through, we are sadly influenced by what the politicians and the government do, so if the whole population sees that the person who we all voted for is saying bad things about another country, everybody will think that it is correct to treat them like that. This also helps to generate general prejudice about a whole country that maybe we just know the name so that is why I also think that travel as much as possible and get to know new cultures it is very important to create your own opinion about a whole country.
We all need to know and it is very important to keep in mind that there are not bad or evil countries but for sure there are bad and evil politicians that transfer their thought to the population because that helps them to have followers. A relevant thought as well it is that something different does not mean something bad.

  1. I do agree bounderies are pointless. If there were less ambition and inequality in this world, everything could be shared.
    I think if we had better education and critical thinking in all schools, people would not listen to politicians the way they do.
