Recently, general awareness about whether it is wise to be required to all university students to take at least one class that teaches the culture of a country other than their own has aroused heated arguments. People, nevertheless, have conficting ideas while some people say that there are another more effectable way to learn other culture instead of taking class in university and learning culture by textbook is useless, others deem otherwise. From my own point of view, I am in agreement with the former stand that taking another curture class is evidently not effectable because of the following reasons.
The first reason for my opinion that can be seen by every person is that having knowledge in other culture is not practical. To be specific, there are not much chance of meeting pople from other culture especially if we are living in a country that is isolated from other countries. From my own experience, since I was living in Korea where not many foreigners live, I could never used knowledge learned from my culture course.
the another and the most noteworthy reason is that there are more effective ways to learn about other cultures. In my opinion, making a friend from other cultures, visiting other countries is more effective way. To illustrate, I learned more about Japanese culture by living in Japan than by taking courses.
1. To sum up, it is evident that there are more effectable way to learn other cultures. Thus I would say it is waste of time and money to take the culture courses in university. In this regard, I strongly disagree with the statements since I believe experiences is more effect to my life than just studying through textbook.
2. Looking at all the statements above, there are many reasons to be considered, but at the end of my essay, I would rather disagree with the statements since I believe experiences is more effect my life than just studying through textbooks |
