Question 95 – 100 based on the following text.
Muslim’s Headscarf
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the charter and considered by man to be a basic human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific time. Why should a religious mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of religious freedom?
Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy. Just as we would not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not feel comfortable doing so, why should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not want to? Modesty is a personal judgement call; some are comfortable in the smallest bikini while others prefer a lot more clothing, no one but the woman herself should make that decision.
Muslim women are not the only ones to feel coerced over their mode of dress. Most people are affected by the societal norms surrounding them. Fashion ternds could be seen in exactly the same light as religious traditions.
Banning head coverings is only likely to provoke a more extreme reaction among highly religious communities. Framing laws to ban only Islamic forms of dress could be considered an attack on one religion. Felling under attack could cause the Islamic community to close off into itself. They could set up religious schools where their children can dress as they want them to and not mix with children from other faith. These effects could never be good for the integration of society an would further the influence of extremists, Internationally, the perceived attack on Islamic values would inflame wider Muslim opinion, feed conspiracy theories and add to the dangerous feeling that there is a clash of civilizations.
Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslim freedom of religious expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different religious practice and cultural traditions of their calassmate, an be taugh to understand and respect these. Without such respect, Muslim and other groups with distinctive dress, such as sOrthodox Jews and Sikhs, will be driven out of mainstram education and forced to educate their children sseparately, which will really cerate divisions and alienation.
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim’s headscarf as a part of school of office uniforms.

a. Arouse social conflict among social communities.
b. Maintain solidarity among social communities.
c. Provoke a more extreme reaction among highly religious communities.

The Journey
By Christina Stubblefield
It was a warm summer morning. My parents came into my room. “dan, wake up,”
My father said, trying not to sound so stern. My mother sat on the edge of my bed. “ dn you have a piece of mail from the United Draft Board. “My mother started sobbing immediately. It sat straight up in my bed. “Dan take it, open it, see what it says”. I started opening the letter then stopped; I still had a hard time making myself open it. Once I got it opened, our suspicions were confirmed. I was to be at our National Guard Armoury.
Latter that day I called each of my best friends, only Charles has gotten the same letter as I. Charles and I went to hang out together that night, talking, joking. What we didn’t talk about was just how scared we actually were. Charles and I talked every day after that, even about how scared we were. We would talk about how proud we were, because we would be second generation soldiers. We tried to find as many positives as possible, because we knew there was no way out.
The day had come. My family was standing in from of the Armoury; my dad with his chest out full of pride and my mother crying. Several of our high school friends were these too. We looded up and said our goodbyes, and then the bus started rolling away. I knew as well as all of my family and friends, this could be the last time I ever saw them. I tried to keep from crying; as I looked around at the other fellows I knew it was ok.
I have not had time to collect my thoughts for weeks. The training was grueling and then cmae the assignments, they shipped me straight to the war. I am not sure what has become of Charles. I have made some friends. They are putting my platoon with an experienced combat platoon tomorrow so I do not know when I will be able to write more.
Well, this is the day of love. I want my family to know that I love them. Mom, you were the best. Dad, you made me into the man I am today. I hope that you are soaring around us like fireflies. We are closing in on a target. I do not know if I will get home. There is a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I cannot explain. I think God is telling me something is going to happen. This fox hole is dark and wet and miserable. Fear has never been in my vocabulary and it still is not today. Just know that my thoughts are with my family at home even though I will not be with them again. I love you, mom and dad.
