1. Do you think countries have reasons to fight over territory? Explain.

Sample answer:

Yes, I think countries have reasons to fight over territory because a certain area might have valuable
natural resources that another country wants. For example, a neighboring country might have oil,
natural gas, or minerals that another country wants to possess, so they could start a conflict to take
over that country.

2. Do you think that the residents of Berwick should be made to choose a side? Why or why not?

Sample answer:

No, I don't think that they should be made to choose a side because it could lead to disunity in
Berwick. For example, having to choose a side might result in conflicts that could affect local
communities and how people treat each other within the town.

3. Do you think borders will be removed between countries in the future?

Sample answer:

No, I don't think borders will be removed between countries in the future because countries have
rules regarding who can enter and exit the country. For example, countries usually need to monitor
the entry and exit of people, and this is usually done at borders and other entry points such as
airports or seaports.
