▶ Your Answer :
Some argue that through newspapers and magazine, one
can learn enough about other countries’ culture because it contains essential
information. However, in my point of view, visiting certain countries is much
better way to learn about the culture. That is, one can learn more
effectively and memorably with real life experience, and news papers and
magazines only covers limited piece of information.
To begin with, visiting the actual nation is the most
effective way if one is trying to learn about the culture. Even though one can
get the knowledge through reading, it is no comparison compared to the real-time
experience. The knowledge acquired by experience tends to be more memorable and
lasts longer. According to the research done by Seoul National University,
students who were taught with experiment and activities had higher academic
records than those who studied only through books. Moreover, the former group was
able to recall easily what they had learned long after the exam. In this sense, it is
clear that getting the real experience by visiting the country is much more
effective way to learn about the culture.
On top of that, books and magazines tend to cover only
limited information on the culture so it
is not an efficient way to learn. Most of the reading materials covering
certain country have themes and subject on particular matter, such as wedding
customs of African tribes, or holiday celebration of America. Therefore, it is pieces
of information on limited subject you can learn through reading. For example,
when I visited Hongkong last year, I wanted to study Chinese culture so I
started reading the book on the subject. However, the book focused on too much
on the Chinese history which was not practical at all. I finally ended up being
indifferent about the useful information about the table manners or greeting etiquettes
in China.
In conclusion, paying a visit to the actual continent
is much effective way to learn about the culture because experience is the best
tool there is to learn, and written materials only contain limited information
on the culture.
