▶ Your Answer :
There have been diverse opinions among many people regarding the necessity
of education of other culture for university basic course in university. Some people might think that it is
not essential for university students to learn cultures of foreign countries.
However, from my perspective, I do believe that understanding other cultures is
crucial, so universities should make their students take a class about this
topic. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following
essay.
To begin with, learning other cultures is highly concerned with
reducing social problems in modern society. For foreigners, living another
country could bring many obstacles and sometimes makes them feel lonely because
of difference between cultures. In fact, there are many neighbors having such
problems near our society. Besides, we can easily find events in newspaper that
people fight each other when because they could not understand other’s culture. For
example, I recently read an article about a conflict in a restaurant between
two people who are from Korea and India, respectively. The reason of the fight
was the way of using tools when having meals. Since, It is a natural custom for Indian people eat foods using
their right hand without any tools. On the other hand, people in India and the person who are from Korea
could not know that culture, they misunderstood the culture as a each other that it is rude
behavior. A solution to the problem may lie in knowing other cultures that are
different to people’s own culture. By teaching foreign cultures to university
students, people reduce these problems in their society.
Moreover, university students will construct a positive view about on different their cultures while taking a class.
People who have lived in only one country in their life and have never learned
about other cultures and can be judgmental in some way seldom see an event in various ways. To be more specific,
they tend to view the world with narrow perspective and to interpret various
events only in one way. If people learn about other culture in their
university, they can have a chance to experience the world in different ways. Besides,
it is helpful for them to compare their culture to others and consider that
which culture is better for people. For example, older people tend to pay the
cost when they have a meal with younger people in Korea. After learning foreign
culture, people’s think was gradually changed. Nowadays, many Koreans think
that the custom could be burden to older people and pay for their meal
individually. (Grammar structure is somewhat awkward) Therefore, people would think their culture objectively and make
their culture be better.
In conclusion, I think teaching foreign culture to university
students about foreign culture has many positive aspect. This is because of solving social problems
and making a good world view.
