Answer the following questions minimum 2 paragraphs per question. The readings attached go with the questions asked.

4. What role do borders play in a global world? Are borders different for different people and groups?
5. Visit the Human Costs of Border Control project website: www.borderdeaths.org/?page_id=5. This website provides a database that measures instances of deaths at the border. As the website states ‘the Deaths at the Borders Database is an “evidence-base” derived from official sources generated by the death management systems of Spain, Gibraltar, Italy, Malta and Greece. It aims to fill some of the gaps, and serve as a new, complementary resource to enable further analysis and research, and ultimately to move the discus-sions about border deaths forward towards concrete recommendations and policy changes.’ What do you think about the information on this site? Are there any data that surprise you? What does this information tell us about the nature of the border and inequality on a global level?
