I think that fellow Yedidya is by far the most moderate participant. He has quite an insight in saying there needs to be a balance between the global citizen and the national border ideals. The majority of this debate is extreme on both sides and serves to divide the conversation between these ideals, rather than finding the middle ground like Yedidya. This is why having public discourse is so challenging...
That is the big fallacy of democracy, the majority is seldom right! Even though I enjoy Prof. Sandel, I stopped after 10 minutes. If one can answer basic questions like, why do Canadians not immigrate to the USA? Why do Germans, Brits, Swedes, Swiss, and a from other EU countries immigrate? Why do Japanese, Singaporeans Australians not immigrate...in large numbers? The answer, they are better off! Why?, because their Governments do a reasonably good job. The UN and other good-for-nothing and irresponsible social organizations canvassing for liberal immigration policies have miserably failed to ask the perpetrators of crime...why are you not improving the conditions in your own country? Why are you corrupt? This is the case in entire Africa and south of the USA and almost all of the Islamic world! No...we will ask the developed countries to take the burden of these refugees and immigrants! Is the UN not giving a free hand to the dictators, the corrupt, the fascists, and the autocrats?
@@rambabu84agree with you. Those liberal young Europeans are very naive. She needs to experience all those Muslims(with 8 kids in one family) occupying her city to realize what she’s talking about!!!
@@rambabu84Well said! I want to ask these young people who appeared so “compassionate”, if they ever really took care of their neighbors or parents? I’m a little disappointed with prof. Sandel. He’s acting a good facilitator instead of a good teacher!

Let's not forget the evolution of humanity as human species from tribe to city state, to nation state and now we are struggling to move to the next stage which is world stage. And at every stage of evolution humanity had to struggle hard and fight against the enormous forces of inertia just to keep the status quo. At this stage we as human beings need to embrace universal values which go beyond our national and cultural borders WHILE AT THE SAME TIME upholding those values and principles within our local cultures which contribute to and strengthen the nobility of human beings and get rid of those which do not.
9:15 So Simon says open our homes, open our arms, and open our borders? How many refugees is Simon putting up at his place? How many economic migrants? Did he pick and choose the ones he thought would be good roommates, or did he simply fly his front door open and welcome anybody who needed a place to crash?
22:45, Lena versus Yedidya. The latter says we have a formative national culture, to which Lena gives a number of reductions to absurdity (t-shirts, etc.) which miss and move away from the point. Then she reveals (as if it was not obviously implied) her bias by referring to her own national history, thereby proving his point that our culture and its history defines us and our attitudes. Then Ayham performs a brief and irritating "sæva indignatio", on the basis of his-not our-sympathy for those in the refugee camps-again, principally because of his identification with those whose culture and nationality he shares. The Global Ill-Formed-Opinion-Haver.
I think, when we are discussing about controlling migrations across borders, we are focussing mostly on the migrations by those in need. Be that the need of survival as a refugee or need to leave a tough life, in search of a better economic opportunity. However, there is another strand of migration. Migration by strong and powerful to increase their area of influence. Be that large corporations, businesses or skilled labour. We have seen, migrants becoming colonisers in past. Most of the aboriginal culture and identity was lost to the "superior powers". It is necessary that national governments have the right to control this influx of migration. So that it can protect it's people, it's culture and unique identity.
Let's say you have a house which your parents built. Does a stranger has the right to get in without your consent? A country is built by its citizens. For a stranger to ask the consent of the people who built it before entering is the moral thing to do.
Erasing borders is equivalent to erasing common language, culture, values, traditions and history...this all inevitably ends up erasing unity and therefore wealth. Rich countries are that due to historical decisions and the values of the people within...and the continuation of those values and traditions. Poor countries have had leaders that have made bad decisions that were for personal interest not national. The idea of emptying out poor countries into rich countries and that not having an affect on the wealth and culture of those rich countries and also not make the poor countries poorer is ludicrous. Consider that some cities within a nation are wealthier than others. Why? Because of the choices of the leaders and citizens of that city. Whether national or municipal, borders matter. Our cultures, traditions, languages and values are what bonds us and give us reason. Humanity has always been tribal by nature.
Of course the one man who should be eternally grateful for the people and Governing body of the United Kingdom for allowing him to vacate there. Is the one person who was aggressive, uncivil and felt entitled to have access to any country he wishes no matter the cost to the the country's current citizens.
Yes...The Neighbors make the neighborhood/Nation..... If you live in a sewer,most don't believe in borders... If you live a really nice place,one wants to keep that area the way it is.......
To use your analogy of neighborhood (country), how long can you keep your "nice neighborhood" nice when ,due to an imbalance, your neighborhood is surrounded by the "sewer neighborhood"? The solutions as I see it, either type could destroy the other, or one make the other similar. I would like to think that the nice neighborhood (countries) do whatever it takes to make the sewer ones nice too. Otherwise, before long, you in your nice neighborhood will start to suffer from the smell of the surrounding sewer. Covid-19 is just the "tip of sewer". Either humanity would wake up and see that our neighborhood is the small planet, in the middle of nowhere, that we live on, or soon will self-destruct as a species regardless of whether you live in the nice or the sewer neighborhood!

thoughtful citizens sounds a politically correct way to call people unqualified to think about anything - why spend millions on training proper philosopher and then ignore them to glorify the common man's thinking... Waste of studio time
+Xenial Xerus I think if we are going to spend the millions then we should let them decide what is good for us. Who are we, who haven't been educated in philosophy and have had no money spent on us, to know what is in our best interest.
Makes Sense weren't first institutions specializing in training the philosophers established by common men because they saw benefits of having money spent on training the philosophers?
They made a great argument of how great immigration is but they also fail to mention the negatives of immigration. Immigrants do indeed enrich an nation's culture and make it have more depth as well. Immigration can also outline the differences between people and how theses differences can draw disagreements and tension between people of an us vs them. Furthermore, immigration throughout history has almost always been bloody as tensions always end up boil to the point where things turn ugly. Lastly enrichment of a culture only occur with assimilation but otherwise you just have opposing cultures in one nation and people in their own bubbles.
The upside of 2021 is our global philosopher Michael Sandel - he’s looked at life from all sides now -he’s given the global world food for thought, got them involved - and gone that step further and welcomes feedback a global perspective- Kudos to such a philosopher- Why was some of my response crossed out - ?
MY FRIEND CAME BACK FROM MIDDLE EAST AFTER THIRTY YEARS OF WORKING CAME BACK EMPTY HANDED GOOD FOR NOTHING TALKING OF HUMANITY HAS MADE MEANING LESS BY THOSE WHO WANT TO DOMINATE OR RULE THE POORS AND NEEDY.
This format of trying to give everyone a voice by having so many speakers is so bad. What's the difference between this and a manageable 2-3 speakers? Even 30 doesn't give everyone a voice anymore than 3. Whomever has the least manners and talks over others is going to have the most to say, and a moderator trying to be politically correct with manners, is going to be like a bad school teacher who can not control their unruly students. Please give us, here across the pond, the distinguished BBC news reader once again. Those guys we used to listen to by buying shortwave radios. That's the BBC we used to love. This politically correct BBC is painful to watch.
Hard topic to start with, the level of sophistication in the argument was very different between the participants. But I absolutely love this new format, it's a fantastic use of the Harvard Studio!
Should doors on houses matter? Somebody could be seeking shelter in which to practice extreme religion, why not let them go freely into house after house until they find one good for their purposes to claim as their home?
Let us start having girls and boys marrying from 2 different countries more than marrying within same community and religion. This will help in building one world. One people.
I love the thoughtful questions and openness of discussion Dr. Sandel fosters. In connection to this discussion, do borders mitigate ‘the state of nature’ at all?
one argues that we need the idea of nation because of culture. However, we can see even in one nation ,there are multiple culture and languages or even disappearing of certain culture/
how about genes or races? Different gene-pools produce different results, and mixing superior with inferior races produces a content-devoid GMO World population which naturally would drop to a fraction. Should that not be a consideration?
Dustin Tacohands exactly my point. Why would you come to US from Poland unless you believed Americans offer you higher standard of life than Poles? You believe Americans are better than Poles. Mixing the two would reduces both.
Armando7654 actually im Romania dutch german and irish but figured polish is close enough. Dont think the color of your skin makes you better its pointless and makes you lazy. And honestly i think i mixed up rather well.
The definition of civic-mindedness is actions, activities or individuals that are motivated by or that show concern for the public good or humanity as a whole. Doing community service and running for public office are examples of activities motivated by civic-mindedness.
I wonder why some of the participants think that immigration affects national identity in a negative way. Nacional identity has been constructed by waves of immigrants and interactions with people from other countries. National identity is a process, and new immigrants contribute to changes that are very positive, that enrich our lives.
There is chaos with borders being in place - if there was no national borders - on many levels it would be problematic- economically - overcrowded- health care to name a few If there is a rule in place, it’s there for good reasons usually- it’s serving a purpose- Australia America uk - they have taken their fair quota of immigrants refugees - Underdeveloped countries are rising and soon catching up to the developed countries - If that’s the case - the numbers in refugee may decline - Should national borders matter - it’s a good question- delicate one, perhaps- Don’t take umbrage to my response it’s only my humble opinion
Borders matter a lot Professor. From the day we emerge from the state of nature to create the state every individual need to be bound by a government and the authority of each government needs to be geographically limited.
AFTER LISTENING TO THIS FIRST BROADCAST MY QUESTION WOULD BE JUST WHAT IS HUMANITY, AND DOES MAN BOTHER TO THINK ANY FARTHER THAN ONE'S SELF DUE TO BORDERS CAUSING WARS AND DISPLACED PEOPLE WE ARE ALL HUMAN! IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT IT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A DEGREE.
That borders matter doesn't mean they should be closed. Borders mark out jurisdictions, and jurisdictions are important to democratic rule. However, I do not think jurisdictions are sealed entities. Just as a town is jurisdictionally separate from another town but they nonetheless allow people to move in between, countries are jurisdictionally separate from one another, but they should allow people to move in between. I do not think it is a matter of giving anything to foreigners, it's to let them pursue their life goals. And if they do not succeed, that's okay, life is not always easy. But at least they should have the chance.
National identity and cultural heritage would perish if they are not useful. So does geographical borders. Immigrants are welcome if they are resources the host country needs, which is the general practice around the world. Refugees would go to places where they are accepted. The society and its government have to face the consequences of their attitudes and decisions taking into accounts aside from philosophical and moral considerations, like sovereignty, cost and benefits, domestic and international politics, etc..
I HAVE AN IMAGINARY QUESTION. if now we say that we are all earth citizens, so we should open the door for everyone. We define we are earth citizens because we know there is a bigger universe out there right? so, what if citizens or creatures from other planets in the future all want to move to earth. should we accept all of them?
We are humans first black or white does not matter. it is due to many nature castrophies. Nation and religion become cause of killing innocent life. National borders and patriotism is agenda of politicians and few selfish evils with inhuman charateristics. Global citizen will not cease local citizen. If someone feel that he or she can adjust with people from particular cultures and mental state, why that person is not free to consider planet as his home. I also feel that it's hard for me to adjust with narrow minded cultured people. Muslim culture supress weaker and have very illogical thinking about life so I cannot adjust with them so it should be my freedom not to mix with them. We are individuals so its not necessary that all are able to adjust even with their own culture. We might be unaware of our own culture due to many reasons. It's all personal.

Small things like killer diseases makes this unworkable, as does certain people's hatred towards race and religion. The problem is, that many in the Western world have had medical programs to get rid of disease which in other countries are still thriving. Cure these issues, and stop seeling weapons to despots and nutjob dictators and there could be peace and travel for all. But, with certain Governments being able to bomb who they please creating enemies all over the world, should you not be talking to these people? As normal folk have no issues getting on and don't see colour or faith an issue.
