What I learn about the movie : Necessities of life

In the movie "Necessities of life", there's a lot of lessons to understand. I learn that people can have a big judgement only depending on where you come from, how you look, what's your religion, etc. Many people reconize more themselves threw people of their communities so they are doing less effort to make it easier for the newcomer. Also, I learn how much you can feel lost when you're totally remove from your origin. Someone from anywhere else, specially not developped country, may had a lot of cultural shock. Feeling assimilation or enculturation is also a step of this trip.

Wearing the Hijab

 Most of the islamic girls are really proud to show off their religion and that is one of a lot of reason why they are wearing the hijab. Hijabis covers their head with that garments also for the fashion, because their husband ask them any many other reasons. I think that islamic women should be free to wear the hijabs because they decide to wear it by their own. They wear it because it's important for them. It have a enormous meaning for them and they are probably disappointed when somewhere or someone restricted the wearing of that Muslim symbol.
