Anthropology u.s cultural pluralism and law

• Point/Counterpoint: Identify a current legal/policy debate and explain where both (or all) sides are coming from in terms of sociological and anthropological history, perceptions and ideals about American government and society, and legal precedent. Example: A Point/Counterpoint paper on refugee asylum law could identify political champions on either side and their efforts (e.g. legislators' fact-finding missions or visits to the border); explain the place of immigrants in Americans' national self-perception, legal precedent, and humanitarian and security arguments; and critically explain or interpret the merits and weak- nesses of each side's arguments
