Discussion 1- With the establishment in recent years of the International Criminal Court and UN Conventions against Transnational Organized Crime and Corruption, it can be seen that international consensus is growing on global issues of criminal justice. Can cosmopolitanism help in bringing together countries on major issues of justice, while respecting individual differences?
Discussion 2- Assume that a colleague has approached you and told you he had been raped by men who called him a ‘faggot’. However, he does not want to report the crime to the police because his parents do not know he is gay. He knows these rapists bc they frequent a local bar, but fear of rejection by his family prevents him from seeking help or involving the police. What advice can you offer him? What are the issues raised by this situation? While it is easy to say “live and let live” we all know the challenges that surround it based on our own family, religious or societal influences.
