any hijabi's here?
any hijabi's here?
hijab means cultural diversity. during an interview, if you're asked "by accepting you to X medical school, what is something unique that you will contribute?" you can reply by say cultural diversity and then expanding on it.
So what's the difference between a "hijab" (some kind of ladies' headgear, I presume) and a turban, burka, etc.?
A hijab is the covering of a women's head with a garment.
A burqa is not just the head, but the face, toes, mouth, etc.
A turban is headgear for men that extends down below their waists.
I see. Thanks for the clarification. So if a turban goes all the way to the waist, what's the wound up hat that just sits on their head called (like the Genie in Aladdin)?
