As the world become smaller and closer, many people immigrate to other countries whose customs are greatly different. Some people argue that they should sustain their own culture even though they move to new countries, in order to maintain their own nationality. However, I strongly believe that following the new customs is beneficial to immigrants because it helps them to adjust new countries and broaden their outlook.
First of all, people who adapt to the new cultures can make it easy to live in different countries. When they leave their own countries, most of people have a lot of difficulties not only in solving their basic needs but also in communicating with others. It is helpful for them to adapt to the new cultures, since following the customs there enables them to make friends with local people more easily. According to the survey, people usually have sympathy with immigrants who try to follow new traditions, thus are willing to help them in troubles. This is because sharing similarity between people helps them make good impressions. In this respect, it is recommendable to adapt to the new customs as soon as possible when you move to different culture.
Moreover, leaning new customs allow people to expand the horizon of their consciousness. Admittedly, experience is a great source of wisdom. People can broaden their perspectives when they try to adapt to the new cultures and experience diversity by surviving in the whole different world. One of my friends, who immigrated to China to study their language, says that the efforts she made to learn their different cultures are worth to try, because it improves her knowledge and perspective as well as her language skill. With the diverse experiences in the new countries, people can grow into more mature ones.
All in all, following different customs of new countries benefits immigrants resulting in easy adaptation and personal enrichment, even though it sometimes takes time and efforts. A proverb says, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” It is a universal rule from the long ago to this age of globalization. | |
