Borderless World: A Myth or Reality?

Borderless world. A white Globe. It is really ridiculous when people debate on it. Up to this point in my life, I have never seen or heard anyone planning on it. Yes let's not forget that globalisation has anyway decreased the differences between various countries but a borderless world is a myth. People struggled an awful amount of time in the history, travelling around the world drawing borders, just to prevent people fighting over authority in the future. If we want the people of the mother earth to be united and developed, initially self-development is very necessary for which the land has to be divided. Imagine how awkward it would be if a country has no states but just a piece of land. A country prospers only when all the states in it prosper. In the same way, the globe prospers only when all the countries prosper independently which is achieved only when there is a precise difference between countries.

From ancient times these borders are being made which can't be broken so easily since we have accepted it. To make world border-less first we should become broadminded to break the social economic borders among us. If we can do this then it may be possible to make our world border-less otherwise it would remain as a myth.

Borderless world is myth but is closer to reality if we look at current developments in the world.

Multilateral organisations like UN World Bank has taken many initiative towards social development in world as whole.

Countries are talking together about problems like climate change.

Countries came together to form a single country (European Union).

Nations are talking about eliminating trade barrier.

Could this debate be taking us to one world order? This idea lingered for sometime and now I see it being resuffed in this debate of borderless world. Due to poor world equity, the borderlss world will only make things worse. Those who are able will be enabled even further while those who are unable, will be disabled further. For example, how many people in our country Kenya can opt to go and settle in the United States and How many Americans can opt to come and settle in Kenya? Food for thought. Borderless world is the climax of selfishness of man.

At the beginning of the human evolution, there were no boundary or limitations, this enabled the species to utilize the resources around.

It was like building a pack and then scattering in search of better living.

But, if we see the present reality, it's a matter of the amount of area owned, the concept of rich and poor comes into the picture. This leads to the words of a poet who says "Humans and dropping their tokens which are precious for the development".

This gives us that no boundaries, no fight, boundaries create passion and fights.

Still, we need a non-physical border to analyse and measure the development process.

We live in the time of globalization and the world we live in seems smaller due to the development of technology. Also many problems such as climate change and ozone layer depletion are of common concern but have not brought all people together yet because sadly not many care. The governments don't work as a team but fight for reasons that are in advantage for them. Racism hasn't wiped out and people fight for power, money, religion. Theoretically, I think that a borderless world could be a reality but this will only happen if we try to change ourselves, change the way we think and be more tolerant and responsible for what we do.

Idea is really good one! but may take long time to put in.

Just take an example of nuclear family and joint family.

There is no one to help/guide the person/resident of nuclear family residing in there border they will try & try and then they will/may succeed but you know how much time they will invest?

In a joint family/borderless world we will get ideas/support and guidance for growth of weaker section and selecting the better idea for improvement.

I totally agree in a border less world living like a family & enjoying the life in peace. And achieving the new height.

I think border less world is a myth considering present scenario. Where ruling the world is a main motive. Border less world is only possible if the whole world share common motives.

In my point of view, we have required borders to separate the two country also their resources that are found in that country so the country like China have their foreign policies like to increase for their population so borderless world can't possibly also if we see in our life two brothers also required separate place after marrying they don't want to share their things. This example suitable on the neighbor countries.

If the country is borderless then web all would united and we would have no disputes with each other. I think if the world is borderless then we would have no human race. This topic even reminds me of the Frost's poem MENDING WALLS where he had expressed that this whole world belongs to all. These borders cannot be recognized neither by GOD nor by nature. If this borderless than it would be an ideal world! I totally agree with this topic.
