Summarize briefly in your own words (without quotation!) the content of the article.

As indicated in the syllabus, the essays should be used by students "to
demonstrate mastery of the material covered as well as an ability to
apply the acquired knowledge to an improved understanding of the
global world. As such, each one of these essays’ focus will be linked to
a relevant recent news event." Go to the "Recent Press Articles of
Interest" on the "Course Content" page of this website and read the
article at the link "Tolerance Eases Impact of French Ban on Full-Face
Veils – NYTimes." In clearly separated sections of your paper:
a) Summarize briefly in your own words (without quotation!) the
content of the article.
b) Discuss the author’s argument and the situation on the ground in a
way that will demonstrate your understanding of the concepts and
processes discussed in this course since the beginning of the semester
(concepts such as cultural relativism, ethnography, culture,
religious symbols, etc.).
