As mentioned earlier, religion in such contexts provides a macro-culture and a great system of beliefs. In fact religion here acts as an anchor point for all the principles of humanity, if not confronting them. Religion here runs through the feelings of the students, their responsibility, social relations, intellect, as well as their self-actualization. To a large extend what makes students feel bad in such contexts is related to religion. For example, as mentioned earlier, boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is not allowed.
Students here feel quite responsible towards their religious missions.
Religion would also act as the main source of reference in their criticisms. And finally, concepts of self-actualization and uniqueness are both defined and delimited by the religion. In fact it appears that unless the elements of humanism are defined, delimited and practiced by reference to the religion, humanism would run against the religion. What makes situations like the one described in this paper more complex and therefore more difficult to handle is the fact that students in such cases represent different degrees of acculturation to the Western culture. We are in fact sometimes faced with clashes of values between students with their classmates, parents or the policy makers, be it the individual institution or the wider educational organizations and departments.
