Border Gateway Protocol

Borders help define opposites. They help people to understand what is right and what is wrong, what is theirs and what is not, and when they’ve crossed a line. Borders can be physical or imaginary. Physical borders include rivers, mountain ranges, walls, and even roads. Imaginary borders are racial, social, cultural, and moral. All of these borders separate people in one way or another and this separation can often result in conflict between the opposing parties. Director John Sayles…

Modern borders are usually not a space that is reinforced by those on either side. More times than not, the stronger faction is the one who is fortifying and continuing to increase their authority over these borders. This is evident both in physical and societal borders that are encountered everyday. In the world of borders, when the stronger side becomes evident, they have essentially free reign to control this space. Control like this are projected in different situations such as national…

Introduction “All sovereign nations exercise authority over their borders to prevent prohibited items or merchandise from entering and to ensure compliance with applicable restrictions” (CBP 1999). The objective of border control is to facilitate the free flow of legitimate goods and people across borders while observing and enforcing the rules and regulations of both countries on either side of that border. This complicated endeavour involves numerous challenges for policy makers and…

Marijuana has the potential to actually be safer than alcohol or cigarettes. While it may seem hard to believe, no one has ever died directly from marijuana itself, as in an overdose. Also, the main chemical in marijuana, THC, is far less potent than that of alcohol. “A fatal marijuana overdose in humans would take 40,000 times the amount of THC that it took to get them high in the first place,” according to the New Health Guide (“New Health Guide”). Say that someone could get drunk on three…

The New Era of Borders Adelman and Aron suggest that the establishing of fixed borders created a time in which “property rights, citizenship, and population movements” were domain of governments [1]. Fixed borders are a relatively new concept in North America, considering that indigenous groups have inhabited the land for thousands of years. Habits do not change overnight, and the implementation of borders did not immediately change the way that people acted in regards to borders. Older dynamics…

Borders Group Incorporated: Too Big & Failed Capitalism is a key component in the strong rooted foundation that the economy has been based off since the inception of this nation and is defined as trade and industry that is owned and controlled for profit by a private owner instead of being controlled by the government (dictionary.com). While the American free market has often been held in the highest esteem by foreign economies as well as ourselves, casualties of the same system have been…

Whether it be at airports, railway stations or border crossing by car, the attempt to control the influx of people crossing is a prominent problem among western countries. Through each of these means, there’s an interaction of two concerns. First, border security understood as the many ways of controlling movement across regions. Second, racial profiling defined as the continuous pattern of being stopped by border patrols due to racial differences. On a broader sense, this ends up being a…

A problem America faces today is the fight for marijuana to be legalized in all fifty states. Would it be wise for the government to legalize recreational and medical use of marijuana? The U.S. can’t come to an agreement all together just to legalize and just profit off of it by taxing marijuana. People with wide chronic pain are requesting for the use of medical weed to help take the edge off of pain because they don’t want to take pills. Pills can lead to addiction and can hurt your body over…

theories that can challenge the gateway effect theory. Morral, McCaffrey, and Paddock (2002) argue these associations could instead be explained as the result of a common factor—drug use propensity—influencing the probability of both marijuana and other drug use. This research helps show that if someone was open to marijuana use, then chances are that they were already open to other drug use. Even though this research suggests that marijuana isn’t necessarily a gateway drug, I believe that if an…
