Near Johannesburg, South Africa, a highway separates two starkly contrasting communities:

Viewed from the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego, a corrugated metal barrier between the two nations is dwarfed by four of eight prototypes for the wall that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration proposes to build.

South Korean soldiers stand guard at the border with North Korea in the village of Panmunjom in July 2017. Despite a common language, culture, and ethnicity (as well as a civilization more than 4,000 years old), the people of the Korean Peninsula have been divided since 1945 into two fiercely opposed states that are still technically at war.

At Checkpoint 300 near Bethlehem, Palestinians from the West Bank, some climbing the walls to cut the line, wait to be cleared for entry into Israel. Thousands of workers endure the daily ordeal in exchange for better paying work in Israel. Disparities in economic opportunity often reinforce divisions based on religion, ethnicity, or rival territorial claims.
