About This Quote
A border is a line drawn between areas, nations, or even cultures. These lines are drawn to separate one culture from another. The words “borders” and “map” are often used together. They are often used to describe the world’s nations because nations are drawn on maps that are drawn by people.
They are drawn to show where countries start and end. A map is useful for showing where things are because it shows where different parts of the earth are located. When people live in a part of the world that borders another culture or nation, they have to learn how to deal with the customs of the people living in that nation.
They have to learn how to live with other people who may not be as accepting as their own culture is. For instance, people in the Middle East have to live with people from other cultures who are different from them because they live near borders with other nations that have their own customs and religions.
