Academic quote of the day

"International study teaches that other people may be good and beautiful despite being different. With respect to criminal justice, societies that are organized in very different ways may provide equal measures of justice and order. One society neither monopolizes nor exhausts the potentialities for virtue." (Bayley, 1999: 11)

It really hit a chord with me. The most eloquent explanation for why exactly it is important to look at what is happening outside one's own country/locality.
