There is old saying that "When you are in the Rome, you should follow their laws." This cites that people who are in foreign country had better follow its customs. So, I completely agree with the idea that when people move to new countries, people should follow the customs there because every countries has their own characters, and we could enjoy their cultures well when we follow their customs.
Above all, many countries have their own customs. Sometimes they are so strict that people must keep that. If people who move to new country don't observe this law, they will be punished. For example, countries such as Afganistan, Iran, and Iraq are the Islam countries. In these countries, women must cover their whole body with black clothes. Because local people think that women must be innocent. But many people from non-Islam coutnry don't have such customs, so they often violate this law, and this often makes serious situations.
On top of that, if we want to experience their culture and be adapted, we should have follow customs there. When we moved to other countries, we often experience culture shocks. Because we are accustomed in our home country's cultures, it's very hard to accept new cultures. But following their customs, we could be accustomed to their cultures fast and effectively. For example, when I visited the India, all people there eat food with their right hand. In my country, it's very rude to eat with hands. I couldn't eat using my hands. But local people look me strangely because there are no people who eat with a spoon. After using my right hand to eat food, I felt likes being local people.
In conclusion, When people moved to foreign country, I think people should follow the customs their customs because it's important to observe their laws and, it's most effective way to adapt local circumstances. For these reasons, if I could have a chance to go to the Amazon, I will experience their native people's hunting customs to adapt the local culture although it's too tough to me. |
