After watching or reading this malala speech:

https://secure.aworldatschool.org/page/content/the-text-of-malala-yousafzais-speech-at-the-united-nations/

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC LENGTH OR WORD COUNT 

Answer the following questions:

1.   What are some specific things that Malala said that makes you think she is morally reasoning at the postconventional level?  What makes you think this?

2. What are some of the end values and instrumental values that Malala spoke about?

3. How has Malala shown courage, as described by your text?

4. Finally, after listening to Malala, do you think she is a moral leader?  Summarize briefly why or why not.

1. The substantive Criminal Law that defines the rules and procedure as those acts that a society has has declared illegal and has decided to punish a person for transgression thereof. However, the United States Constitution guarantees the accused by what is known as due process. This requires:

a) the existence of a law that prohibits the conduct in question before the violation occurs. What does this mean? How is it applied? Why is this so?

b) a law that is sufficiently certain and clear so that an individual is capable of knowing wnat is permissible and what is illegal. What does this mean? How is it applied? Why is this so?

c) a specifically described penalty that is to be imposed in the event a person is found guilty. What does this mean? How is it applied? Why is this so?

2. Who is the “plaintiff” in a Criminal case? Who might this “plaintiff” be employed by? What rights does the Defendant have? Who guarantees these rights? What are some of these rights? Why do you think that the “plaintiff” is so restricted, and that the accused is so protected? Do you think that accused criminals should have all of this protection?

3. We spoke briefly about the burden of proof in a Criminal case. We determined that tie burden of proof for the prosecution was “to prove that the Defendant was guilty of the crime, based upon credible and legal evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt”. The previous burden used the words “without any doubt whatsoever”, or “beyond the shadow of doubt”. Why do you think that this change was made? What purpose does it serve (if any)?

4. Why do we want to “punish” a criminal? Is it to get them where they can no longer reach us? To rehabilitate them? To allow them to learn a new trade? Or are there some other reasons that you might want to put forward?

1. According to specialists, the study of international migration requires of a multidisciplinary perspective. State why. Did Political Science offers a unique contribution? Since different disciplines emphasize a macro, micro or meso approach, in other words an emphasis in different levels of analysis, provide examples. Discuss in more detail the approach of two of these disciplines that are (even hypothetically) more useful for your own research, or alternatively the approaches that can better explain the plight of the main characters of La Jaula de Oro and El Norte.

1. Why is it so that advanced democracies seemed to have so many difficulties to assemble a strong immigration policy (that media frequently labeled as “chaotic”). Explore their diverse internal challenges (paradoxes that they confront), and the apparently incoherent outcomes in this policy area. You can cite examples from your own research if pertinent.

1. Analyze the “politics of closure” in liberal democracies. Include its genesis, at least three main arguments that usually accompanied this discourse, and examine in detail how key political actors, such as political parties use these arguments (if your research is related to this topic, you can use examples from it).

1. The so-called “global governance” on immigration includes a tapestry of overlapping institutions and procedures. Provide examples. Why is it so that there are rather few binding multilateral agreements and bilateral agreements? Even when they exist, state why they seemed to be plagued by unintended consequences. Is the European Community an exception of such trends?
