Topic : When people move to new countries, they should follow the customs there. A number of people would say they should not need to learn and adjust the new customs, when they are aboard. The reason why is that they misunderstand that they are not noticed even though they do not follow the customs. However, I firmly maintain that people should follow the customs when they move to new countries. It is not only connecting their countries' good image, but it is also making them comfortable and fittable the new cultures. To begin with, people need to learn and adjust the new customs when they have a chance to live another country. This is because everything they do, it is directly connected to the image of their own countries. Everything they do, it can be evaluated by foreigners as the image of county. For example,when I stayed in Canada, I did not know Canadians were very sensitive about the odors from hairs, clothes and mouths. I used to directly go to school after cooking and eating without taking a shower. One time, one of my Korean friend told me that I had to take care of the ordor from my clothes because Canadians had a bad image of Koreans because of kimchi smell, also that's the simple manner in Canada. After that, I tried everything I can do such as opening the window, turning the candles on, wearing perfumes to remove the ordor from cooking and to improve the image of Korea. For these reason, people need to be used to the new custom because it directly connects the image of their own countries. Secondly, people can feel more comfortable and fittable in the new countries if they follow the new customs. If they try to follow those, they realize that they already become a part of people and easily get accustomed to the new life. To illustrate, I had never had turkey in the thanksgiving day in Korea. But, in the states, eating turkey is the custom in the state on thanksgiving. It was an unique experience when I looked for the cooking book and cooked, my family enjoyed a huge turkey with stuffs in it on thanksgiving. I felt very becoming an American. For this reason, following customs make people a part of the new country. In conclusion, people should stick to the new customs when it comes to moving the new country. |
