It is debatable whether it is better to get information about other countries from reading materials than to visit those countries.
Some people agree with this idea because they think there are limitations to visiting foreign countries.
However, I strongly believe that people can learn about other countries better by going to there.
This is because people may obtain misleading information from reading materials and people can understand deeper other countries when they visit there.
To begin with, people may become to have incorrect perspective about other countries by reading newspapers and magazines. This is because reading materials tend to contain very limited information of other countries. So, people who read some magazines of their region can have biased and outdated information. For example, my Japanese friend who had read some traveler’s book in her country, expected to visit a Korean restaurant which is introduced in the book. However, when she came to Korea, the restaurant was already shut down. She was very disappointed.
On top of that, people can understand better foreign countries by going to there. This is mainly due to the fact that going abroad presents a lot of experience. People can join the festivals, eat food and learn the language. These experiences make people can know more the country. For instance, when I traveled to Japan, I made a lot of Japanese friends and they teach me their culture. I also ate Japanese food and saw Japanese summer festivals. Through all of these experiences, I could understand more Japan.
To sum up, going to foreign countries presents us a lot of precise information about the country than reading some magazines. I believe that experiences that can be obtained in abroad make us more understand that country. | |
