An instructive example of the cosmopolitanism bargain came in 2006, when Great Britain’s former foreign minister, Jack Straw, raised concerns about the nijab, the full-head covering worn by some Muslim women. Straw defended women’s right to wear less intrusive headscarves; yet he also argued that something is seriously wrong when, in conversation with another person, one cannot engage in face-to-face interaction.
世界主义的带有启发性的例子来自2006年，英国前外交大臣斯特劳对于一些穆斯林女人佩戴的罩住整个头部的阿拉伯头巾表示了关切。斯特劳认为女性有权利戴不那么碍手碍脚的头巾；他还辩解说在与另一个人进行交谈时，不能进行面对面的交流是非常严重的失礼。
