It is debatable whether All university students should be required to take at least one class that teachs the culture of country other than their own. some people say it is unnecessary because students are too difiicult to understand other countries' culture. In my opinion, However, it should be mandatory to all schools in that globla competitiveness and viewpoint on their own country.
Above all, world is becoming more open rather than old days. Let's think about sports, economy and society. people all around the world are enjoying lots of diverse sports; soccer, golf, basketball, softball and etc. Also, there are many global institution; EU(European Union), IMF(Intertational Monetary Fund) and ete. If, one country gets suffered from problems kind of natural disaster or war, World society can collect money or prevent war by various measures through UN(United nation). In this sense, being a one world is inevitable truth that one's country should be always ready to open and take. so, school must supply the subject regarding other countries' culture to improve student's global mind.
Moreover, students should learn the other countries' culture for themselves. By learning culture of the others, students know the value of the their community and human beings. this mean is that students can enhance thier view. through learning other countries habit, students will know the importance of their own country custom naturally. one example of this, when i was in high school, i have a chance to learn japan's custom. in there, i had known the value of our ancestor's morality and brave. Like this, students can upgrade their viewpoint about own country.
In conclusion, students must learn other countries custom because of improving global mind and perspective on their own country. |
