Education

Ages 15 to 17
Study Guide
School subjects
Engage the class in research about the role and influence of the international community in relation to individual sovereign nations. Then assign students to debate the question: Should there be a higher authority than the nation-state? Consideration should be given to the role of the International Criminal Court as well as specific international interactions such as humanitarian work, military interventions and peacekeeping missions. Students could also give presentations about individuals or groups involved in activism across international borders.
