Assignment:
You and your best friend are heading out on two month vacation and plan to visit five destinations. The day before you are set to leave your friend tells you that it has always been her dream to steal something very valuable from each of these five locations, and that during the vacation she plans to make her dream come true. As much as you try to persuade her not to, you are certain that she will try to carry out her plan and that she will get caught. You and your friend set off for vacation with the following itinerary:
(a) Sightseeing in Great Britain
(b) Visiting famous museums and shopping in France
(c) Visiting the holy landmarks in Saudi Arabia
(d) Backpacking through various sites in China
(e) Shopping for bargains on several Navajo reservations in Arizona
For each of the five places on the itinerary, summarize the following:
1- The family of law followed
2- How disputes are settled
3- How your friend's theft would be dealt with under the law in the country. Specifically, what type of legal proceedings could she expect? What type of punishment might be applied?
4- Identify any other factors for consideration. Specifically, would the fact that your friend is female impact her treatment under the law? Would the fact that she was a foreigner in the country impact her treatment under the law?
5- Based on your knowledge, for the scenario, is the law fair? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
6- Evaluate each countries legal system and the possibility of justice within that system. Provide examples of the impact on the social system and the people of the country.
