Assignment: Critical writing piece

The last assignment of the year (except your final paper)!

You are to write a two-page (12 point Times New Roman font, 1.5 spaced) critical reflection on the reading assignment "Cultural Privacy". In particular, think about the following questions:

  1. Do you find the author's response to the problem of cultural rights to privacy compelling? 
  2. How would you have analyzed the situation that Kukathas uses as an example at the outset of the paper? 
  3. Are there other ways to ground claims to cultural rights? 
  4. Do we, as an empirical matter, recognize cultural rights to privacy? 
  5. If do not, do we recognize other cultural rights (e.g., to religious symbols, religious practices) in a way that could illuminate this issue, and if so, can we import the same reasoning? [There are a few cases in Australia of interest, with respect to protecting cultural artefacts].
You are not expected to do a lot of research on this one, but if you use some references, stick them in as end-notes or foot-notes.
