Freedom for all
Good day to you all my tutors and learners here on Hive.
I remain this humble soul who is always ready to appreciate my existence on the surface, once we realize that staying alive is never by our power or might then we know that all we have to do in life is to thank God for his mercy and grace over us.
For everything in life, there is always an advantage and disadvantage to it. No matter how we look at it. To some people, it will surely benefit them, and to some others, it will remain a nightmare.
Take, for example, The rainfall is something so general. It can't be avoided by anyone. But when it falls, the same way it remains a blessing to some people, and in the same way it remains a disaster to many people too. To the farmers who have planted their crops and are waiting for the rain. Once it rains on their crops, they will be so happy to see their crops yield a good harvest. And this same rain will fall on another farmer's plot and wash away all of his seedlings through erosion. To the first farmer was the advantage of rain and to the second farmer is the disadvantage of rain.
If we are to discuss the opening of borders for free entry all over the world. The world might be a better place if that could be implemented, the same way it might turn into a disaster if implemented.
Firstly I will be talking about the advantages of access to anywhere all over the world.
Having the freedom to enter any country at any point in time will surely come with its advantage.
Freedom for all
I can't even imagine a world where everyone will be free to move around. A world without restrictions. There will be a lot of advantages to that because there won’t be much of a higher class having the freedom to move thereby making it so hard for the lower classes to survive. Closing borders makes it hard for poor people to have a chance of migrating there, making them fall into the hands of smugglers and scammers. But what if all border is free for all? Then I can reside in whichever part of the world I want to be.
Reduces cultural indifference
The restrictions on borders are one major cause of cultural indifference. And this can be reduced when there is free access to all parts of the world. There won't be much of a cultural difference since there is a chance for civilization and many parts of the world could come to a general way of life.
Reduce conflicts
Another main reason for conflict is territorial classism. When some part of the world feels superior to another. They will do all it takes to make sure they remain at the top there; they won't allow any other country below them to have that power. This is why conflict occurs. If any country tries to grow better then they would have to face an attack from their opponents. But when the world gets free of all these, and we all have the same privileges to move around without territorial boundaries then there won't be much of a conflict.
Makes the world a free class
Classes and status are what restrict one part of the world from the other. The higher classes get to have themselves settled in some part of the world and are determined to keep ruling the world with their power and wealth. Meanwhile in this same world are some classes who are poor and underdeveloped. If they could have a chance to access what the higher class are having then they will surely perform better. But the restriction to their ways and their status never gave them the chance. The higher class will always take advantage of them and get more wealthier. Since there is no way for those lower classes to witness the secret to their progress.
In the same way, there are some disadvantages to opening borders. So it can’t be one-way stuff.
Insecurities
One major disadvantage I could point out from the opening of the borders is the fact that there will be a higher rate of crime and insecurity. Since the world is now a free place for everyone. There will surely be commotions and thereby giving chances to those who have been restricted to a particular way of life for a long. Once they realize there are places far better than their homes then they will surely want to have a taste of it.
There will be a lot of crimes since there are no or just a few rules guiding everyone. And insecurity will also be at its peak.
In conclusion
I feel the advantages of having a open border are more than the disadvantages but despite that opening all the borders for free movement remains a nightmare that can never happen.
This is my response to the prompt for week 59 edition 3 on the hive learners community and the topic to be discussed is OPEN BORDERS.

A real night mare looming if borders are open for all, i do believe the advantage of closing thee borders outweighs leaving them open.
Yeah there is advantage to closing it. But many won’t see to that. Haha 😆. Just like the one closed here in Nigeria.
Well, I admire your thoughts. I love the advantages you and I will enjoy. But only one disadvantages of this issue can lead to death of the society when evil men troop in in the country...so let there be rule, let there be restrictions for proper checks before allowing anyone into a country
