Introduction
Part I: Cultural Imperialism and Human Rights
1. Purdah: Is the practice of female seclusion and wearing hijab
oppressive to women or an expression of their identity?
2. Female Circumcision: Is this practice a violation of human rights or a
cherished cultural tradition?
3. International Aid: What benefits do NGOs provide developing countries
and how can their presence generate new challenges?
4. Population Growth: Is the world over-populated and should governments
have the right to control birthrates?
Part II: Culture Change and Changing Identities
5. Heritage Languages: Are they an endangered species?
6. Body Image: How does body image affect identity and status, and how has
the transnational flow of Western ideals of beauty impacted other cultures?
7. Same-Sex Marriage: What are the socio-economic, religious, and political
implications of same-sex marriage and changing family structure?
8. Social Media: What is its role in socio-political revolution?
9. Global Nomads: Do Third Culture Kids own a national identity?
Part III: Economic, Political, and Social Conflict
10. Food Security: What are the economic and political determinants of food
security and the global implications of world hunger?
11. Ethnic Conflicts: What are the underlying reasons and the consequences
of these conflicts?
12. Human Migration: What are the socio-economic and political implications
of the transnational flow of people?
