Some people might believe that it is more beneficial for them to travel their nation bacause it help them to learn about their roots and own culture while others think traveling other countries is better. I prefer to travel abroad over travel inside the nation for the following reasons; comprehensive mind and more opportunities.
Granted, traveling inside of their nation has its own advantages. It allows people to understand about their nation, culture and develop desirable national identity. For exampe, there are many various activities such as walking across the country on vacation for college students in Korea. It aims at encouraging student's patriotisom or making them feel proud of their nation. Indeed, many students answered that they felt the beauty of their own culture and warmth of the Korean people. They also answered that they became prode of their own nation through the activity.
Although knowing about our own nation and its culture is important, in our global society, it is not enough. People in these days are required to develops comprehesive mind to take an active part in the international stage. As people become to work and socialize with people form many differnent countries it is important to appreciate cultures of other countries. Only traveling people's own nation cannot help people get such ability. By traveling around the world they are able to broaden their horizons. When people travel abroad, they have to adapt to new environment and different culture which make them grow and become more mature. Being surrounded by different people and environment, people can learn that everyone is unique and that they have to respect each other even though it seems little different. These experiences help people better understand about people from different walks of life and backgrounds. After traveling people would have no problem stepping out their comfort zon and adapting new environment such as work force or college.
Moreover, By traveling abroad, people are able to get more opportunities. In fact, many companies want to hire workers who have various experience in other nations. Not only having experiece in foreign countries reveals the fact that they have managed many difficult situations also their good flexibility which helped them adapt to new environment. Furthermore, since nearly almost organization want people who have excellent language skill, traveling abroad would be great opportunity to improve language skill for students. According to the national survey which conducted by the Ministry of the culture and tuorism, the number of student who are studying abroad doubled within the past five years. It can fully illustrate that traveling abroad now becomes competitence beyond merely an enjoyment. |
