Text Discussion
Muslim’s Headscarf
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the UN charter and considered by many to be a basic
human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific times. 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,
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 trends 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. Feeling 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 faiths. These effects could never be good for the integration of society and 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 Muslims freedom of religious
expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different religious practice and
cultural traditions of their classmates, and be taught to understand and respect these.
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim’s headscarf as a part of school
or office uniforms.

Text Report
Bee

Bees have a long proboscis (a complex “tongue”) that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers.
They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical
for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very
few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none
are wingless.

The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64″) long. The
largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm
(1.5″). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern
Hemisphere, though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.
