▶ Your Answer : Some people argue that there is any reason
that people to take at least one class learning about foreign culture. However,
in my opinion, this perspective is not true for two following reasons which I am
going to elaborate.
To begin with, taking class about foreign
culture enables people to gain diverse experience. For detail, most of people
wants to be successful and getting immense experience helps people to success.
Take Warren Buffets, for instance. He is globally recognized CEO and investor. Listed
among times 100 influential people, Buffet mentioned in interview that acquiring
various experience shapes him into a successful business man. Such a comment is
highly convincing since he is well-known man of success. I believe learning
about foreign culture will allow people to acquire new experience.
On top of that, people can make mistake in
other country if people don`t know about other country. To be specific, wide knowledge
about culture enables people to understand each other. We can communication
well with foreign people when we already know about their culture. For example,
when I visited japan with my friends. I live in my friend`s house. And I did
not have enough knowledge about Japanese culture. When a we ate dinner with
friend`s parent, I give some food to my friend by using my chopsticks. And my Korean
friends receive food by using his chopstick. And next time I can heard for Japanese
friends. They never give something by chopstick to chopstick. This is because
it can imagine funeral. In Japanese funeral, they deliver dead person`s bone by
chopsticks. So we make some rude behavior due to lack of understanding culture.
This experience realized that I must learn about rudimentary culture before
traveling other country.
To sum up, learning about foreign culture
helps people to have multiple experience and reduce mistakes. So it`s necessary
to student. I believe that I have demonstrated my point of view on this matter with
concrete reasons and examples. Since view of life and values are differ among
individuals, it seems like this subject will always stay controversial. |
