Without doubt, friends play a significant
role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work or play.
Some people think that people can learn a lot about a person from the type of
friends that he or she has, while others do not. Both sides have their own
reasons to support their own views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say
that people cannot know about person very well through friends of him or her
because people no longer make only friends who have same environment. There are
several reasons as follows.
It is difficult to know about people’s
nationality from their friends because many people mingle with others who from
different countries. People can meet diverse people from different backgrounds
easily and make friends. Such experience helps them to acknowledge that there
are many different cultures, customs, and lifestyle, to understand this
variety, and to ultimately be comfortable with it. For example, when I went to
volunteer to Africa, I saw one of our volunteering members eating her meal with
bare hands. I thought she was from African because she spent most of her free time
with Africa friends and felt comfortable with them. However, I realized that
she was from Korea. She could be familiar with other cultures and socialize
with other friends from different countries because she was international school
student. She already had a lot of experience that hanged out with friends with
various nationalities. Thus, it is impossible to guess people’s nationality
through their friends.
All things considered, I strongly believe
that people have mingled with friends with different cultures and it makes
difficult for people to know about them by their friends for the reasons I have
mentioned above. All in all, the importance of having friends from different
backgrounds cannot be overestimated in life. |
