Free or not? That depends. As we all know different peoples had different cultures. Take China as an example. China is consisted of 56 peoples, so the culture is of different kind. But at the same time there are some problems for so many different culture, we may quite familiar with culture shock. No person can ignore the existence of it. If the immigrants want to get on well with the local people, they should take some measure to avoid the misunderstanding or the problem brought by it. However, when it comes to should they free to maintain their cultural and religious practices. I think it is a little hard to say. And what about if they are infringe women’s right? It seems that the situation became much more complicate.
For my part, I think the cultural and religious practices should be kept selectively. The good ones, I mean the ones which do no harm to people’s basic right or do not interfere to the privacy, they should be maintained. That is to say, if it had bad effect, we should abandon them. Of course if they are infringed us women’s right, it deserved to be discarded, and the sooner, the better.
If you come to a new environment, we should do our utmost to adapt to it. So we may find that so many differences between the two cultures, then we will come up with such a question, should them be maintained? And my point is, yes you are free to maintain, and it is up to you, you are the boss on the principal of not cause many bad effects. Then should the immigrants be free to maintain? First, maybe the example as follows can help to illustrate this point, freeman's attempt to change Florida law by using religious freedom as an excuse to impose sharia failed when a Florida appeals Court ruled against allowing her to be photographed in niqab on her driver's license photo. it is clear that how can you identity a person without even seeing his or her face? This is true in many other cases. For instance, when your teacher is a Muslim woman covering up the veil definitely makes talking harder and emphasizes separateness and are therefore bad for community relations; thus the veil should be deconstructed and the immigrant should not maintain this culture and religious practices. On the other hand, some will be kept out of especially if it do harm to the women. As we all know the women is a special group, it seems that they are inferior to men, so they will easily to be the victims of many religious practice. In the old china, the Chinese women had no social status; they had to learn to be obedience, so they had to tie their feet or should not go to school like the man. What a pity, and if we are give the freedom to maintain all these ugly practices what a pity. To our happy it had be a history. As to the immigrants, I think they can maintain the beneficial ones but not the terrible ones, they can choose at their will to kept or abandon only if they are happy to do so. It is ok. The key things they can adapt to the new culture as well as kept something feature special of the people.
In short, they can be offered the freedom but not the whole. They must be sure that all of their activities do no harms to people especially the women.
