Stephanie's Question:
When boundaries are considered, the author mentions they are "fixed in place". Are boundaries fixed in place? Which concludes that boundaries are concrete, but can't they be abstract too?
I believe boundries are fixed in place. I think what we need to look at is who makes the boundries and where they are in certain places. For example, in New Brunswick the Rutgers police make boundries and rules for students and outside of that is the New Brunswick police who controls boundries for New Brunswick and so forth. I also believe our friends and loved ones set emotional boundries and our parents fixed boundries as we grew up. In that sense of emotional boudries that friends and family create I believe it is more abstract than concrete boundries police give.
