Joe Anthony, a U.S. graduate student, was beginning a semester-long internship in Mexico City with an international health care products firm.

After he had been there about a week, some male employees invited him out to a bar to sample the local specialty, bull’s testicles. Joe had heard about this practice considered a sign of young Mexican machismo (male power). The idea did not appeal to him because something he had eaten recently had made him queasy. What are Joe’s options? What are the possible implications or consequences of each option? What would you do in such a situation?
