1.Based on Merry’s article, first explain the place value of culture within a cultural relativist and universalism approach to law. Secondly, I would like you to briefly elaborate on how Merry criticizes cultural relativists and universalism approaches to law/human rights. And thirdly, what approach to culture is according to Merry necessary in order to overcome the universalism vs. the cultural relativism dichotomy?
2. Please write 400 words or more, recounting the incident, including how and why it started on the street and the proceedings of various tribunals (Richmond County Grand Jury, DOJ, NYPD).
