			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, I admit it: I am a fan of those graphics. Here is another one that shows how walls divide the world and where the most &#8216;secure&#8217; borders are located. (via <a href="http://td-architects.eu/?id=30" target="_blank">TD</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>Accelerated through the fear from the attacks of 9/11 and all what followed, the so called ‘Western Society’ is constructing the greatest wall ever build on this planet. On different building sites on all five inhabitable continents, walls, fences and high-tech border surveillance are under construction in order to secure the citizens and their high quality of life within this system. The fall of the Berlin Wall was described as the historical moment that marks the demolition of world’s last barrier between nation states. Yet it took the European Union only six years to create with the Schengen Agreement in 1995 a new division only 80km offset to the east of Berlin.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pretty cool animation. Nice example how to make history more interesting and how computer animation can be used for educational purposes. Find more details about the project on <a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4440098,00.html" target="_blank">DW World</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>For 28 years, a nearly insurmountable barrier kept people from fleeing East Germany. But then, the dramatic night of November 9, 1989, saw the fall of the Wall that divided Germany. Today, it is difficult to imagine what was bitter reality just a few decades ago.</span></p>
<p>For the first time, a realistic computer animation reveals the vast security system of Germany&#8217;s inner border and the Berlin Wall, both of which were recreated virtually in the greatest detail.</p></blockquote>
