Borders can be fairly fluid, over the centuries they tend to ebb and flow over the centuries.
For instance one could agrue Europe seems to have fairly static borders, however they have changed during/after WW1, WW2, Soviet invasions and of course most recently collapse of Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
Africa's borders went thgouh many changes in the 1950-1970s with many countries coming into being and many old colonial areas being redistributed. This did result in many wars due to the enforcing of different cultures together into new super-units more like western countries which bore no relation to the cultural boundaries of the people involved.
The national borders created by the British Empire are still obvious in some places most especially the English speaking nations, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and to some extent the USA, India and Pakistan also however the flak from what our idea of what their borders should look like still flies about today, that is the problem- when you enforce borders on geographical lines rather than cultural eventually strife will occur.

There are truthfully some political thinkers who might want to disagree, yet i do not imagine we'd want to consistently anticipate civilizations to be any extra static contained in the destiny than they were contained in the previous. even as human beings stay heavily to at least one yet another, new recommendations will consistently come ahead; it fairly is our nature. If there is a few style of imbalance or injustice in society, those recommendations will handle it, and finally something will ensue. a touch something might want to be an election defeat. a huge something might want to be a revolution. both way, except we may be able to come across a social gadget that makes everybody chuffed in any respect circumstances, it isn't achieveable for civilizations now to not regulate. As for technological and medical advances, i imagine they encourage revolution fairly than bog down it. there are such quite some examples of this in history. There are also many examples of technologies that develop into once considered as extra acceptable being replaced by employing more recent technologies coming from a third party. to that end those who at the moment have the great element about technologies received't consistently be in that position. One very last element is that civilizations substitute through the years not in basic terms because of recommendations and thoughts, yet because of easy mass migrations of human beings. Europe has been consistently "invaded" by employing peoples from the east for the era of history, with occasional peaks contained in the invasion (like the Huns or the Turks). at present, this way (in Europe and the Americas) maintains, with human beings from southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, sub-Saharan Africa, and the middle east migrating westward (and northward). it really is why you listen of Britons or human beings or French who're afraid that their countries are being over-run by employing foreigners. no doubt the Romans were afraid too even as Atilla got here to the scene.....

All of the present borders? Heck no. Each political border is generally generated by the governments or country at the border.
