Borders and Boundries Essay

With the fast-paced globalization together with the heightening political economic issues of the world, it has brought forth the illegal immigrants to cross the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona, or as the anthropologist, Jason De León describes it, The Land of the Open Graves. However, there is more to unauthorized immigration than what meets the eye. Scratching the surface of the case of undocumented migrants reveals that it rooted from the intensifying global inequality and crisis of the world. Accordingly, the author’s decision to vividly depict the brutality beyond words the undocumented migrants had suffered while crossing the borders allows the readers to see the bigger picture behind illegal immigration, preventing further unnecessary deaths of the innocents.

In “Borders” by Thomas King, the story portrays identity as something very valuable. The title of this short story, “Borders” indicates two borders; one of them is a physical border and the other is a metaphorical border. The physical border is the obvious physical border amid Canada and the United States, while the other is a metaphorical border between someone's identity and citizenship, The mother immensely proud of her blackfoot heritage, furthermore she displays makeship nationalistic views. It is rare and improbable for a young woman to leave the reserve, which suggests that blackfoot people do not hate or despise living their. Accordingly they have no aspirations to move out. The mother feels strongly against America and would not betray her own identity by identifying as an American or a Canadian. In Thomas King’s “Borders”, the story shows proudness of citizenship and it portrays where you are from is a key piece of who you are and your identity.

South of the Border is a 2009 American documentary film about Oliver Stone’s trip to Venezuela to meet president, Hugo Chávez. Oliver Stone himself directed it. The documentary examines how United States free-market policies have affected Latin America’s income. It also displayed how Chávez took a turn towards left wing governments in Latin America’s democracy. And due to such financial catastrophes, it has lead to a socialist uprising. In addition, the documentary included critical interviews with the president of Venezuela Hugo Chávez and Tariq Ali. Ali, who is also the screenplay writer of the project, seems to finds this documentary film to be a political pathway for power. When Ali was interviewed, he explained the importance and

Silko begins her essay saying how she was different from her playmates as a child. “From the time I was a small child, I was aware that I was different. I looked different from my playmates. My two sisters looked different too.” After she stated this, she talks about why she was different from the other Laguna Pueblo people growing up by explaining her great grandfather’s past.

Many people of different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities come to the land of the free. Despite the novel's age, I think it remains relevant in the sense that America has endless possibilities. As of today’s media, Donald Trump's idea building a wall separating Mexico and the United States is volatile. Not only is it offensive to both sides of the border, but it’s not the best idea. This novel is relatable to the many people who come to the States from poverty, legally and illegally, seeking opportunity.

Gloria Anzaldua in her book conveys the struggles of living on the borderline that divides the US and Mexico. She put a true definition of what it means to live in between two worlds and do not know where one belongs. Her book bears pain, and hardship of the third world country hat the borderline creates. She delivers her book through the use of metaphors, melancholic yet optimistic tone, and imageries. Her book introduces a world of aching, a world which is not often conveyed in the light in which she portrays her story, the true story of the Chicanos. Her book brings about compassion, understanding, and blues.

Border Writing examines a newly emerging culture-space, the borderland between Mexico and the United States. This gives the geographic referent of the term border a centrality. As used by Hicks, though--and, one might say, as used by a score of writers in the field of cultural studies--that term points beyond its most obvious geographic referent to become a leading metaphor that organizes the conceptual field. What gives the term its privileged metaphoric value is the reality of displacement that is the central fact of life among people living in the

People always refuse to accept something they are not familiar with. In the article Mixed Race Frontiers: Border Westerns and the Limits of “America”, Camilla Fojas explored two border Westerns, Duel in the Sun (1946) and Rio Lobo(1970). Racial mixing is central to the plot development of both films. Just like the two movies My Darling Clementine and The Searchers we watched before, the problems of cultural prejudice come up in most stories of the West, which can never be ignored when we talk about the frontier. The boundary in the West is not just a geographic term, but also a racial term that separate people with different racial background. Without

There has been boundaries between different lands for many of years. The land that has been boundary can be as different from two different land lords all the way too two different countries or kingdoms. Humans are not the only ones who creat these boundaries, fish and other reptiles are also known to create boundaries. Boundaries can be shown in three ways. There is the corner monuments that can be physically found on the property while there are also just written boundaries where a surgery will in detail write down the property lines. Then there is by the law where just a common understanding of where the location is. There are also 10 principles to understand when it come to boundaries and surveying them to help us understand how it stands. These boundaries have caused conflicted in many counties such as in America and in England, and also many people have died because of them. Boundaries are taking to a literal point where one believes if they are on one side of the line they believe in one way while on the other the believe in another way. Like in the book the example was a bar on the Canadian and American border where in Canadian they would serve at anytime but on the American side they would not serve on Sunday or after midnight. This goes to show how literal people take the knowledge of the boundaries

The book Translation Nation by Hector Tovar begins by telling his own story, and how migrating to Los Angeles from Guatemala changed his parents and shaped his. Not only that, but how iconic Che Guevara was to his family, even comparing him to god. He continued by showing the similarities in Los Angeles and New York, how the Latino immigrants were following in the steps of those from around Europe, assimilating and creating a community of their own. Then he began talking about the border between Tijuana, Mexico, and California. Describing the emptiness of the beach that day, and the fact that many people from all over Mexico were wandering the streets of Tijuana, waiting for nightfall to cross the border. Also describing the tactics border patrol use to find the immigrants before they cross. Even including interviews with people waiting to cross, some knowing the tactics of border patrol and others clueless, following el coyote y el pollero. In addition, Tovar went undercover, pretending to be an immigrant looking for work, and experienced first hand the process. Throughout the book, he includes the story of many people who he met along the way. Their stories helped write the book, and give a more personal meaning to it.

In Frank Jacobs’ “In Praise of Borders,” the writer contrasts his home city of Bree and its surroundings with the fictional area of the same name situated within Tolkien’s “Middle-Earth,” arguing that it is ironically cartographic borders that are “magical” as opposed to the physical mountains and rivers that segregate the locations within Tolkien’s world. The writer states that man-made borders connect us to the Earth’s history, enabling us to explore any changes or seemingly illogical borders, recognising why this may be. I agree that borders represent not just a geographical boundary but a cultural one, and am unsure as to whether we would have the diversity in holidays, activities, languages and accents if borders ceased to exist. This

The concepts of citizenship and sovereignty are highlighted in the article, which shows how migrants are forced to succumb to the power of the state to exclude them, and their resistance (De Leon et al., 445). The entire time I read the article, I kept thinking about how citizenship is a tool created by the nation state to subordinate those deemed to be inferior and justify unnecessary violence imposed upon racialized migrant bodies. When Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 was signed into law, it allowed law enforcement to check a person’s immigration status without any reasonable cause other to racially profile people of color along the border (De Leon et al., 445). This covert practice of violence exemplifies how citizenship has limitations and gives security only to white

Region of interest is a neuro psychological concept which means a particular region which the person may be of interest and it can also be defined as the area which contains some meaningful information. In the medical images, particularly in MR brain images the region where the exact brain is represented is of interest discarding the background.

The representation of border is something that is essential for state institutions. But one cannot clearly define whether border brings peace or violent mutual relations between the identities. It is obvious that these divisions were reinforced by the history of colonization and decolonization and that in this time of globalization they become the seed of violent tension. The representations of the border, territory and sovereignty, and the very possibility of representing the border and territory, have been the object of an irreversible historical “forcing”. Drawing “political” borders in the European sphere, which considered itself and attempted to appoint itself the center of the world, was also originally and principally a way to divide up the earth. Thus, it was a way at once to organize the world’s exploitation and to export the “border form” to the periphery, in an attempt to transform the whole universe into an extension of Europe, later into ”another Europe”, built on the same political model.
