Re: Political (Kang)

Yes, we still do need passport to travel around to almost everywhere. But I look at passport as a mean of identification more than a restriction for people to travel around. Only places like the United State of America that extremely controlling their international border by restricting people from around the world to enter the states. Mobility is always being guided or guarded by rules. Physically or virtually, political such as government will affect the route of mobility. Physical mobility such as the highways, and the railroad were planned and built accordingly to city planning, by the government. While on the internet, such as the case of China where many of the international sites are being banned in the country such as Facebook. During the Stone Age, a group of human travelled within their own boundaries because they feel much safer being inside their own territory. Restriction means safety. Today, the boundaries go with greater distance caused by the invention of automobile transportation. And with greater and much improved way of transport, we able to travel to any place in the world with just a few hours of flight away; the world just seem smaller than before. And we feel much restriction instead of freedom to travel.
We always perceive what’s much important to ourselves. Everybody wants their own right of way, but when a community stay together, not everybody’s right of way is everybody’s right of way. Thus the government is needed to set rules and regulation on the transportation system. Imagine what would happen if there are no driving rules and regulation, accidents will happen. Politics restrict the human’s mobility but also to keep them safe, well most of them. That’s what i think. Cheers. See you all 2moro.
