The twenty first century is not only about superfast jets, flights to Mars and video calls. This is also the age when old traditions and religious rituals are supported and nurtured  . Unfortunately, the purpose of some of these rituals is  hard to understand. Female genital mutilation The practice, traditional in some cultures, of partially or totally removing the external genitalia of girls and young women for nonmedical reasons.   Formerly procedure was carried out using traditional and dangerous tools, like a sharpened shell, a stone or a buffalo horn.

In Amsterdam, people don't even consider wearing helmets because in the Netherlands the number of cyclists killed per mile is the lowest in the world. So, should we focus on making roads safer for the cyclist (building more bike lanes) or make the cyclist safer on the road
