予想問題1
Agree or disagree: The concept of national borders is becoming obsolete in the age of globalization.
回答
I agree that the concept of national borders is becoming somewhat obsolete in the age of globalization. As technology advances and international trade, digital connectivity, and travel become easier, people, goods, and ideas are flowing across borders more freely than ever. This interconnectedness reduces the relevance of strict national borders because global cooperation is increasingly necessary to address transnational issues like climate change, economic inequality, and cybersecurity. Additionally, remote work and digital nomadism allow people to live and work internationally without being confined by borders. However, national borders still hold significance for cultural identity, security, and governance, so while their role is evolving, they aren’t entirely obsolete.
予想問題2
Discuss the implications of globalization on the idea of national sovereignty and borders.
回答
Globalization challenges the traditional idea of national sovereignty and borders by increasing interdependence among countries. As nations engage more in global trade, multinational agreements, and information exchange, their control over domestic policies can be influenced by international regulations, economic dependencies, and global institutions. For instance, global economic organizations and treaties often require countries to adhere to standards that may impact local laws or trade practices, thus softening strict sovereignty. Additionally, issues like climate change, cybersecurity, and migration cannot be contained within borders and require cross-border cooperation, which further blurs national boundaries. However, while globalization fosters collaboration and shared standards, it also pressures nations to balance global commitments with the preservation of their autonomy and cultural integrity.
