Topic:Should the U.S. limit people's travel because of Ebola?
Clash:Some think we should limit it because Ebola is so dangerous. If we restrict it,the rate it spread will slow down. But some others disagree, and they think Ebola does not abide by borders.

Stance 1: We should limit the travel.
Summary: How the patient with Ebola named Thomas Eric Duncan went to the U.S.A. is by air that makes people scard of if more people like Duncan will go to the U.S.A. in this way. We must be as cautious as possible to contain this disease in the smallest area so less people will be affected. People in the U.S.A. have right to journey, but the country can not lose safety. So every people should be quarantined before they want to go to another country, only in this way, safety can be guaranteed. The best way to solve a problem is to prevent it developing at source.

Stance 2: Ebola does not abide by borders. So we can do nothing to prevent it.
Summary:Dr. Benjamin think only limit the travel can not solve the problem. We learned that
Infectious disease does not respect geographical borders from history. And in the West Africa, the goverment and airport already have done something to protect people. In ancient years, the transpotation between countries is inconvenient so it also trouble the virus. But now where we live is a global society, and it is hard to prevent the communication between two different countries. As a result,what we should is to screen travelers but not limit.
