The Good Law Creators
By Dr. Baljit Singh
Empathy among law creators helps them formulate laws related to creating harmony when the population is diverse. Australia is one of the best examples of law and order where people of different faiths can live together without prejudice, whether in education, work institutions or in everyday conditions.
In particular, I have observed that some students wear hijab in schools, colleges and workplaces, and I find this to be highly multicultural in its purest sense.
Conversely, not allowing the hijab to be worn means less respect for the person (s), thus creating anxiety, fear, humiliation and sadness in their hearts.
Are these health conditions parts of public health?
Does a student pose a threat to us if she wears a full school uniform and a headscarf? No. So why create social chaos? We need to educate our citizens for greater religious toleration, which comes from law-abiding governance. Respect cannot be taught, but is it possible to put the victim in a better position to avoid being the victim of disrespect? How?
Not only leaders, but the public, need a better understanding of relativity.
If you were me. The teacher took the theory of relativity to travel across a foreign land, and I went home happily. Our innate advocacy brings joy to the minority.
