Document Summary
Educational institution youth parents (first generation) Male focus on respect and tolerance. Female better at articulating and integrating religious practices into university life. Transfer religious practices and community to youth. Less focus on meaning because they never had to explain the meaning in the context of a society where their religion is dominant. Expectations of their children (e. g. professional career ), since they had to give things up in order to move. Concern over the development of barriers between men and women in mosques, closing women off more and more. Most women do not attend mosques that have barriers as often. Some women like it, as it helps them increase their concentration because they do not feel like they are being watched. The implication that a man cannot concentrate on prayer if any mention of a woman comes up is degrading to mean, implying that they are so weak.
