9. Why is the world divided territorially?

Personal Interest. Different nations are concerned for their own personal gains and there is nothing wrong with that. We, as different nations, are entitled to look out for ourselves because everyone else is just doing the same. We have to think about what is important for us because as a nation, in order to progress, there are certain things that we need and in order to get them, some nations can do just about anything to attain it. Take for example what the United States has been doing, it is evident in history that they have always been out there conquering and making deals with different nations for their own personal interest at hand as their main priority. It is usually the first world countries that have the upperhand in possessing land, thus acquiring more power for them.

With concerning territory, the world is divided because it is powered by personal interest. With territory, one can attain power, money, security and preservation of race. These can be the reasons for starting a war as well. Before it was a war between nations. Now, we have bigger problems: the war on terror. Terrorism is affecting the world that we live in and the way we are now living. Traveling to other nations can be a difficult task in some nations because many airports and immigrations now have stricter policies and rules for visiting travelers. Of course, the world has become a cautious place in efforts to protect ourselves. Territory can classify different people as well, and in relation to terrorism, the world is changing its perception of people according to where the live. Such as the middle eastern countries, they can now be related to Osama Bin Laden and Sadam Heussein who are recognized world wide as supposed terrorists.

Lets face it, definite peace in all lands is not attainable. With such a chaotic world, we have to be more aware and face the facts as well as to be ready to react and face the challenges that war brings.
