Those who consider that a decision by majority is alway best might say that people are obliged to follow the customes there after immigration. ->Those who consider that a decision by majority is alway best are obliged to follow the customes after immigration. However, I disagree with this statement for two reasons: it is less stressful to be stick -> keep their own customes and preserving cutural tradition is valuable for cultural diverisity.
First, keeping their own cultural allows people to feel free to live their own life.
In a sense, it might be true that following the culture of a immatrated land makes a life more easily -> easy as they could have more common area with the natives. However, given that custome is where cultural habitual patterns which are often deeply-ingrained and can even function as de facto ??laws for people, going against own country's traditions can casue a lot of efforts and difficulties. Additionally, in this ages of globalization, people has changed their perspective on other cultures and traditions. They tend to be more acceptive about other culture regarding it as individual styles -> unique wayof living.
I felt this unique way when I stayed in Canada last year. I wanted to adopt canadian dish so that I could have lunch togther with my friends in a restourant. However, After I tried to have western style of dishes, flour-based food, I had a side effect such as red rashes on my whole body. I found out that I am allergic to westan-style food and have to maintain Korean dishes. I was concern that my Canadian friends hate the smell and taste of Korean-style disjes, yet they enjoyed them and even created buns with Kimchi, one of representitives in Korean food.
Second, preserving cultural tradition is valuable because cultural diversity enriches society.
The introduction of different cultures might cause confusion for a while, yet after then, it brings us developed culures and customes. That is becuase we can not only have various choises but also make technological and scientific progress.
In the past, muscular pain had to be controlled in the West by comfortable methods without pain such as hot pack, massages and hydrotheray. On the contrary to this, oriental medicine directly injects needle into human body to creat more pain. In modern times, it found out that Acupuncture appears to be effective in relieving pain by increase blood flow and creating pain-relieving hormones. This example highlights that it is adventageous for people to accept different cultures.
In summery, I am against the statement that after immigating, it is mandatory to take the forigns' cultures in that having a stressless life and make sociey affluent with various cultures. |
