Cultural Conflict- Faith and Globalization

1. The conflict of the hijab is an internal conflict because it is a personal decision to cover up, yet the wider issue of the legality of the garment is external because of the limitation of rights imposed by the government.

2. Globalization creates conflict through misunderstanding of another's culture. By saying that globalization has only been flown in one direction, she means that the flow of ideas between the United States and Middle East has not been reciprocated.

3. She mentions the benefit of western role models, which have been beneficial to the rise of powerful, Muslim women.

4. She mentions the Constitution as a true source because of it's symbolism for expression of personality and freedom to do so, and the Qu'ran is the other document mentioned because, in her opinion, it is the word of God and and an order to modesty.
