Alexandra Auer : The intangible effects of walls

Alexandra Auer·TEDxEindhoven
The intangible effects of walls
Summary
The story really surprised me because l also thought that building walls and faces provide us with a feeling of security, though, it is different from real security, it can’t protect us but it leaves us many intangible problems that are mental things which breaking is so hard. It remains over generations or decades.

The walls separate, create us and them unconsciously and establish an enemy. It makes us build a second wall in our heads. It’s a mental wall, it can grow so strong, and again physical walls are building. It’s repeating.

People can’t meet, can’t see each other, and gradually, don’t try talking. It creates different languages, cultures, and values. People forget the reason why a wall is created.

The speaker wants us to remember the intangible impact of building walls. Many walls are now building in the world.
