Re,Re: Political (Matthew Walker)

I know what you mean Chan about the passport control being a necessary form of control but i met people in Syria who were no different from myself but could not get a tourist visa to visit Britain. One of the main reasons we have passport control is because certain countries are more desirable than others and masses of people would want to migrate to these areas if there were no boundaries. However, in a utopian world, we could share all out wealth and resources equally and therefore have freedom to travel. In Europe Union the single market encourages the free movement of goods, capital, people and services (without tax). In terms of the human resources people are entitled to work anywhere in the continent and do not need visas. In a world developing a global economy could this same policy one day be applied on a global scale?

  1. just a stupid thing but the word utopia is latin in two different ways, a play in words. it can mean good place or no place. Its creator knew this and meant it to be that there is no such thing
