Thanks for those! Talking about shoplifting is a really good idea, because there's lots of permutations around whom you're stealing from, and why you're stealing, and loyalty to friends versus loyalty to the state and rule of law. And it's something they can understand that starts off from obviously it's wrong and then you move on to the grey areas. The children's rights angle is a really good point too.
I'm not sure about the religious symbols in schools one, mainly because I just don't know enough about that kind of thing works here. I certainly haven't come across any debate about either headscarves or crosses, but that doesn't mean there is none, my knowledge of Swedish current affairs is really patchy. In England I would definitely try that one.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
