INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the study
“Good fences make good neighbors.” Robert Frost Fence between neighbors implies that each can maintain their own privacy. When people become complacent of each other’s privacy or wishes then ill feelings can occur. If one neighbor has the run of the others yard, there is always the chance that the one might do something against the other’s wishes, this does not imply that it is done to irritate its neighbor on purpose but there is a chance. A fence between properties will eliminate the chance that they will trespass into something that they do not want to share with each other. This is not also just about a physical fence, it also means that neighbors should not have free run of the knowledge of each other’s lives and what goes on in each other’s household. There has to be boundaries in all relationships which would constitute a fence. Fences should be low enough to allow communication between neighbors while keeping some things out, not a stone wall between each other that allows for no communication.

Human civilization is imagined as emerging from agriculture, family, and property and all of these evolved with the serious help of the fence.
