Week 5 Discussion – Local Power Meets International Governance
DIRECTIONS:
1. After reading the article “Polish Towns That Declared Themselves ‘L.G.B.T. Free’ Are Denied E.U. Funds,” how would you interpret the conflicts described in the article based on one of the themes mentioned in Chapter 8 of the textbook? For example, do you see global governance leading to a loss of sovereignty? Global power pushing against a rise in local populism? Global markets leading the way to cultural change? Or some other interpretation? Explain your interpretation, providing support from the textbook, the article, and other sources if desired.
2. Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.

Local Power Meets International Governance
Based on the article “Polish Towns That Declared Themselves ‘L.G.B.T. Free’ Are Denied E.U. Funds,” the conflicts described can be interpreted through the lens of democratization. The piece clearly demonstrates a clash between fundamental human rights and principles of equality supported by the European Union and discriminatory practices evident in Polish towns. Six Polish towns that have proclaimed themselves to be “L.G.B.T.-free zones” are not eligible for funds from the European Union (Pronczuk, 1, para. 2). This is an uncommon financial penalty imposed by a member state for matters pertaining to the equitable treatment of its residents (Pronczuk, 2). Although only small sums of money, ranging from $6,000 to $29,000, are being withheld, the municipalities’ removal from sponsoring a program that links local communities around Europe was meant to have a more profound symbolic significance (Pronczuk, 2). Therefore, an interpretation of this situation is the European Union showing their upholding of democratic values by punishing those with populist ideas.
At the same time, the conflicts described in the article also reflect a tension between global power and local populism. It is mentioned that both Poland and Hungary have been observed in condoning such populist tendencies. As a result, local populism can be seen as pushing the limits and asserting national sovereignty due to right-wing governments (Casaglia et al., 1). Lastly, in terms of global markets leading to cultural change, there is no explicit discussion of such an aspect. Nevertheless, the stance of the European Union shows the commitment to democratic values where all people rule. A government managed by the people and policies adopted by the citizens should be subject to some degree of public input and influence, which is the rule by the people (Straus and Driscoll, 3). The Union plays a crucial role in establishing the values and supporting the minorities.

Paper 3 Assignment:
In summary format, reintroduce your organization, the ethical challenge you are addressing, and the philosophical principles and obligations that you have stated stakeholders must consider. Refer to your first two papers for this requirement.
Explain with sufficient detail Steps 3–5 of Cooper’s model for ethical decision making:
Step 3: When considering the ethical decision, identify the possible solutions.
Step 4: Describe the likely outcomes for each of these options.
Step 5: Choose what you believe is the best option and, including ethical principles, justify the reason for your decision.
As you envision the implementation of your ethical decision, discuss the:
Obstacles you anticipate
Steps you can take to minimize those possible objections
Organizational structures, policies, or controls which are essential to ensure enactment of your decision
Integrate into your discussion how the decision you identified contributes to positive social change. That is, how does your solution contribute to the advancement of human rights and liberty? How does it contribute to justice and expand equity?
Add a conclusion that summarizes the key elements of your paper.

Describe a social justice issue or concern and the people and/or organization (stakeholders) related to the issue. (Cooper, Step 1)
Discuss why the issue or concern is an ethical challenge. (Cooper, Step 2)
After briefly explaining the issue or concern, identify and propose two or three strategies you believe are necessary to resolve the issue or concern and why (Cooper, Steps 3, 4, and 5).
Predict the likely consequences of each strategy.
Identify what you believe represents the best strategy, explaining why you think so.
Explain how your ethical decision is an affirmation of human rights, equity, liberty, and/or justice.

1. When people think about a country’s culture, they often view it through a lens of broad generalizations, perhaps even stereotypes. Why do you think this is the case? Why might cultural stereotypes be problematic in today’s globalized world?
2. Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.
CLASSMATES POST: TANYA
A few things that come to mind when addressing why country cultures are often viewed through a lens of broad generalizations are…
For the most part I feel as though many “people” live a sheltered life. Anything people are not familiar with or don’t want to be familiar with you often hear, “Each to their own”
People create stereotypes because they have limited exposure to the world (as far as traveling and seeing things first-hand)
People make assumptions because they reply on too much media for information.
And fourthly, I believe it can be mental issue because ones brain will make an assumption quickly which can lead to oversimplification and generalization.(A brain will naturally look for differences, and what one is familiar with or not) According to NCBI, this can lead to the oversimplification of a country’s culture, because people in general will focus on commonalities and overlook the diversity and individuality that exists within a culture (1).
Why cultural stereotypes can be problematic in today’s globalized world…
Lack of understanding. Cultural differences, poverty, etc., there is clearly not enough empathy given for those that cannot fit into a “perfect mold “ leaving one feeling like they don’t belong which can have negative effects on their wellbeing. Stereotypes can be problematic in today’s world because it can lead to discrimination, racism, and misunderstandings within certain groups of people. Furthermore, NCBI states, by having cultural stereotypes it can limit creativity (1). “Cultural stereotypes reduce innovation to set characteristics, making it difficult to see beyond the different stereotypes and recognize the potential for creativity and innovation. This can limit the development of new ideas and solutions, which can have negative effects on social and economic development” (NCBI, 1).
