2/21/2017

Guiding Thought Question: Predict why not having clearly defined borders between countries would be so important for international security.

Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to explain the issues related to borders and the formation of countries. Students will participate in an activity related to understanding territorial disputes then engage in discussion related to topics of establishing countries.

Borders are important so that people know what country they live in and therefore what laws to follow, who to pay taxes to, etc

Because there would be more of a chance for bigger co flixts due to many places have different ideas and cultures

People might overlap and there would be confusion that could lead to fights on whose territory is whos

since there is no set boarder line to separate areas of land, different laws of the different areas will cause problems like drugs, illegal trade, illegal movement/ leaving country etc.

if theres no borders you cant really control who comes in

Because people would not know the limits, they could immigrate to the other country easily, and they could get arrested for crimes or doing stuff they could do in their country, but not the other one, also land disputes, and land could be claimed, taken over easily.

It is important to have clearly defined boarders between countries so that countries know the boundaries and "whose is whose" You wanna be aware of what is going on in between your boarders. If there is no boarder lines, you will never CLEARLY know what applies to the people. For example: there is specific rules and regulations for the individual states so you wanna know what you can, can't do. Having clear laws and regulations makes it less likely for chaos

If borders aren't precise then it will cause more conflict because countries wont be on the same page when it comes to what land belongs to who.

Without defined boarders citizens would not know what country's are what and no control over people who come in and out of the countries

They have to be able to tell who is coming into their country and regulate that so they can make sure nothing dangerous is coming in and things like that.

Because then people wouldn't know what country they're in so things like money and housing can get confusing.

There would be no way of telling which country is which and which laws you have to follow.

Daenen

Well it could cause conflicts easier, or in fact maybe strengthen relations.

Clearly defined borders are important because things that are legal in one place could be very illegal in another place. Taxes are also dependant on the place a person is located.

They have to know how many people are coming into there country and if there are any dangers coming in. Also, countries wouldn't be clearly marked so you wouldn't know which country you were in

Different countries have different crime laws, tax laws, resource laws etc. If you live on the fringes of your country, it's important to know which you're in and which you follow.
Militaries can run into each other if you don't have clear borders and there can be unintended conflict that can lead to further hostility.
A stronger country might be able to completely swallow a little one simply by slowly pushing their patrols and their settlements outward into the other country's territory.

so the citizens know what laws to listen to and they know their boundaries

Immigration problems would occur as well as fighting over territories

Trevor Lewis

Because there could be different currencies, taxes, and because of illegal immigrants. And without those borders everything could get really confusing

It's important to have borders because then people know what rules to follow and where they can find "safety".

Nikayla

People could get into fights on which state or country they live in. Or if something happens on the border than it could be both of their problems and their could start a war or conflict over it
