Topic > Religious Head Garments - 3092

In many religions, the use of garments such as the Jewish yarmulke or the Islamic hijab is not simply worn by choice, but out of strict ritual or religious obligation. For religious groups, wearing traditional clothing is not only seen as a religious duty, but is closely linked to spiritual practice and provides a sense of spiritual identity. Widespread use demonstrates that it has become an integral part of the continuity of multiple religious practices. Provided that wearing religious clothing is based on the manifestation of central religious beliefs (SOURCE), to what extent can a state hinder this expression of freedom? Should this conflict be addressed as a matter of individual sovereignty or should a global norm be adopted? Technically speaking, the right to express religious freedom without government influence is enshrined in sovereign treaties, doctrines, and constitutions around the world. It is also addressed on a global scale, particularly in the Declaration of Human Rights (SOURCE). However, this issue would not be necessary for discussion and improvement if there were no exceptions. While the general idea is that this is a fundamental human right and that there should be absolutely no reservations to religious expression, there are some matters where religion must be considered behind the interests of national security and individual safety. Soldiers in the military must understand that there are certain priorities such as unit cohesion, safety and uniformity that must come first when dealing with conflicts in different environments. The freedom to express one's religion and tradition through clothing is not a universal right and is subject to relativism depending on the current situation and perspective.Paragraph: Fundamental human right to freedom...... middle of paper.. ....environmental and environmental differences around the world. Complete universalism cannot be applied in the case of the military. The influence of relativism can undermine human rights, but it is acceptable if used for the right reasons. In matters of national safety and security, relativism can and should be applied to the rights of those sworn to protect. In the issue of displaying religion through traditional dress, civilians should enjoy the universal right, while national security forces and active military personnel should be limited. Civilians have the privilege and duty to manifest their culture and religion in order to obtain universal acceptance of religious freedom. But before this can happen, in the tense environment of the battlefield, soldiers must first show dedication to the people and limit religious garments keeping the big picture in mind..
