Humans are the only beings not crossing borders
The article summarizes the major contradiction of our era: on the one hand, globalization of the flow of money, information, and technology; on the other, humans facing barriers and walls that prevent them from accessing their basic rights. While border walls are being expanded to control migration and smuggling, digital technologies and the complexities of trade and financial movements are increasing, resulting in tighter control over people themselves—so much so that individuals alone are unable to cross borders that other things can easily pass through. The article notes that history has seen the fall of walls such as the Berlin Wall, but the modern walls are now built to complicate human movement. Especially in Europe, the length of border barriers has exceeded 2,000 kilometers over the past decade, with advanced technologies used to monitor and control borders, while at the same time the freedom of movement for money, information, and goods is expanding at an unprecedented rate. The article concludes that the world has become a small village in terms of money and information, yet it still divides and restricts humans from reaching their rights—reflecting the contradiction between technological progress and the loss of personal freedom.
