127. People can benefit more from traveling in their own country than traveling to foreign countries.
It is often said that traveling in own country is better than traveling to foreign countries. This is because traveling in own country helps people to be realized the true meaning of the patriotism through visiting many historical places and also improve the economy power by the travel profit. However, in my point of view, traveling aboard is beneficial for people due to the improvement of the international social network and learning of advanced and developed cultures and technologies.
First of all, visiting many different countries allows people to meet many foreign people. This is important for people that the chances meeting many people would strengthen their social skills and broaden their social network. Also, according to the globalization, most of problems such as economic and politic become the international matter. Thus, in order to solve wisely, the global social network is definitely essential factor because through foreign friends, we are able to get their advices and helps about a certain matter from them. For example, our country, south of Korea, fall into the serious economic crisis in 1999. At that time, our country could overcome effectively through the international country’s help and advices. If our country had built these relationships before, now our country would not still overcome.
Also, traveling around world is good way to develop our country ability in many areas such as science, economy and politics. The advanced countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan already meet a stable stage in many fields. Thus, traveling to these developed countries provides people to learn many advantages about their advanced fields through their museum, galleries and life style. These factors would help our country’s system to improve the weak points of cultures and technologies.
In brief, traveling to other countries is more effective than traveling in own country because traveling around world is helpful to improve their social network and increase the culture level of own country.
