RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE: THE DECAY AND SOLUTION.


RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE: THE DECAY AND SOLUTION.

So much talk globally about tertiary institutions not allowing Muslim ladies observe the hijab and it does not make sense looking at it from any angle. My parents almost sent me to a catholic medical school in India, because of religious tolerance. I strongly believe a lot of the work is done from home, academic institutions are supplements on religious knowledge.  I went to Christian primary schools & you can't compare me with some who went to Muslim schools when we got to secondary level, It's like comparing grey and white if not black and white. 

Charity begins at home not at school, the mistake some parents make is leaving everything to faith-based academic institutions. I went to an Islamic University, I do tell people I went to christian schools and they are shocked cos it looks like I went to muslim schools, faith-based schools are nothing if you do not train your child at home. Religious exposure makes your children better individuals.

So much religious intolerance across the globe but I feel solving it is easiest when we attend the schools of other religions provided we are allowed to practice our religion. I can have a beautiful relationship with any christian because of my religious exposure. Growing up I saw my dad invest in and even house christians, which I feel going to christian schools increased his religious tolerance. Some people get shocked when they see a muslim call their religious leader they almost worship "uncle" or "aunty", it's how far our views are decaying.

Religious exposure helps in solving our one world crisis. The world is becoming more complex and I don't think making Muslims go to only Muslim schools and Christians to only Christian schools does any good. More collaboration, peaceful co-existence is how we can make the world better and stop the decay. I yearn to see a world where a christian is not triggered by hijab or the recitation of the Quran and the muslim by evangelism, IT IS ACHIEVABLE. 

Religious exposure makes the globe a better place. Our parents, community and religious leaders, should please allow more religious interactions to stop the decay of religious intolerance at all levels. Religious exposure makes people better individuals, helps in solving our one world crisis, and makes the world a better place for all. Religious tolerance is the future and it is a need at all levels.

WEEKLY READS WITH DR. FAJEMBOLA (WEEK 5)

Thailand is known largely for tourism, I lived in the land of smiles for two years and one aspect I explored thoroughly in different facets is the healthcare system. If I could experience their healthcare again, would I? YES, is it affordable for locals and foreigners? YES for locals and averagely for foreigners.  Salient points from week 5:  1. Thailand’s UHC system is considered one of the most robust in the world, with improved access to healthcare for the population since its implementation in 2002.  2. According to the WHO, Thailand ranks 25th in the world for its UHC Service Coverage Index. 3. Current gaps include lack of access to  emergency housing for caregivers of patients attending the hospital, hidden costs of food and travel in UHC systems, complex hospital processes unfamiliar to disadvantaged patients on how to best access resources. 4. The researchers developed initiatives to help  alleviate hidden costs but they are only band-aid solutions that ...

CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN WHEN MOVING UP THE LADDER AFTER THE 2OTH CENTURY

Image
       The male and female gender are known to face different realities across the globe, and this exposes them to different opportunities as well as challenges. Every adult with a good mental health knows that the challenges faced by women since time immemorial till date are more than the opportunities which knock on their doors. An integral part of a woman’s life is balancing the expectations of work and family, this is what pushes some women to face the home fully because it is priority especially for those in Africa, making them lose opportunities to be a better individual and contribute to their societies immensely. What it takes to be a woman who can utilize as many opportunities as possible that crosses her path in different geographical locations is different just like different shades of a color- The same color but different shades. It is no news that times have changed and the myth that women cannot be successful in careers that need physical ...
