True or false: On a moral level, Joseph Carens (as interpreted by Sadiya Ansari) argues that national border restrictions are akin to the feudal system that Western society rejected because it did not want the randomness of birth to limit or dictate one's chances in life. True False

True. Carens, as interpreted by Ansari, draws a parallel between feudal systems and modern border restrictions. He argues that both systems limit opportunities based on circumstances of birth (where one is born). Just as feudalism restricted social mobility based on inherited status, Carens argues that restrictive border controls similarly limit opportunities based on where a person happens to be born. He contends that this is morally problematic because it perpetuates global inequalities.<br />
