DIVISION LINE: Man and Ideology 

When division lines in political ideology meet it tends to fuel intense emotions, mostly bringing out the worst in us, why? Mankind has used war, intimidation, spying, thought control, censorship, and all sorts of compassionless and self-righteous acts to keep control of an ideology. Even as time passes and we evolve mentally, technologically, and our awareness that we are all here on the same tiny planet that we all have to share, we still divide. This is probably one of the most fierce Division Lines I've explored in the world, that of Man vs. Ideologies. Mankind needs to open up to compassion, understanding, and compromise...instead of living and clinging onto archaic ideas that lead to hate.
