1. Moving borders przekraczamy granice Moving borders in my own life by Wojciech Studnicki

2. Borders Borders define geographic boundaries of political entities or legal jurisdictions, such as governments, sovereign states, federated states, and other subnational entities. Some borders— such as a state's internal administrative border, or inter-state borders within the Schengen Area— are open and completely unguarded. Other borders are partially or fully controlled, and may be crossed legally only at designated border checkpoints and border zones may be controlled. Some, mostly contentious, borders may even foster the setting up of buffer zones.

4. Classification of borders Natural borders Political borders Economic border Social borders Borders between people – the biggest problem at the World

5. Discrimination due to social differences, race, ethnicity, history of the nation, education, age, sexual orientation, gender, etc. is the biggest problem of modern societies, which is creating many conflicts leading to the disintegration of society and the marginalization of minorities.

6. We need to try to change the way of thinking of many people in order to change the situation of discriminated people. We have to take care about human rights! We have to move borders!
