Why is the people's movement restricted?

People always prefer if they move freely in everything that they do. They want space to themselves. They also want free time from time to time in order to enjoy what they want to do alone. Most of the time, people prefer if the people around them ignore what they are doing or what they want to do, because they don't want others to meddle with their own activities in life. You see, people enjoy their private and personal space.

Similarly, countries want their personal territories, personal space and own title to land and other assets. In our world today where globalization is emerging, space is becoming more and more neglected. People travel all over the world due to several reasons- work, travel, vacation- the point is, all the nation states open their territories for other people to go to. For these people to be able to travel from border to border, the government of every state also implement rules and regulations to promote peace and order.

The movement of the people is somewhat prohibited in a way that individuals find it hard to travel from place to place, from state to state. Due to several documents and requirements by the governing body for traveling abroad, people see this as a hassle and end up not fixing all the requirements in order to be able to go to places. What is violated here is a human's privacy, personal space and personal reasons. A people who just graduated from college may want to rest and take a vacation, but this act is restricted due to several barriers along the way such as visas for security and safety. The literal flow and movement of normal individuals are restricted because of safety and simple precautions for every state. A fresh grad who wants to go to New Zealand to visit his relatives is immediately blocked to apply for visa (not approved) because of the fear that he might be running away from the Philippines.

It is beneficial for everyone if all governments are like this. However, only the developed countries exercise this kind of strict security. Here in the Philippines, it's not really the case. When we look at the bigger picture though, it is good that this kind of security is implemented to bring order in one's country. Though some individuals are restricted, this does not mean that they can no longer be able to do what they want. It is just right that in our world today, regulations and strict supervisions are maintained in order to progress.

Globalization promotes the integration of different people, cultures, traditions and even products of corporations. Though there are also restrictions for these entities, it is just fair for the country's government to ask for documents, files, etc to make sure that the entry of these institutions and people will not bring chaos in their territory.
