Description
Summary:The authors analyze the culture of (in)tolerance in the city of Guadalajara (Mexico), from the end of the last decade of the twentieth century to the first five years of the twenty first century. Three conflicts of ideological character were selected: a) the "tolete" (baton) case: citizen's demand for public security & human rights of presumed delinquents; b) "La Patrona" case: art & artists' rights to freedom of expression & respect for Catholics' religious beliefs, & c) anti-globalization demonstrators case: the right to public display of opinion by young people participating in antiglobalization movements & the right of all to public order & public security. Stances & arguments pro & con by the city's main social sectors are examined in each of these three situations. Adapted from the source document.
