▶ Your Answer : Managing how students spend their time is important because it shapes students' lives. With this understanding, I believe that it is important for students to spend their time traveling at least one year. This is because it enables them to broaden their perspective and enjoy a better quality of life. Firstly, traveling allows students to broaden their perspective. Understanding the relationship between absorbing perspectives from foreign cultures and the potential role of traveling is necessary to substantiate this view. Spending time for traveling allows students to visit foreign countries. Traveling around new destinations means opportunities to learn new ideas. This is because what is commonly accepted as a cultural norm at home may not be the case in other cultures. If students are exposed to the foreign environment, they will be able to learn how to shift perspective. Consequently this kind of ability will allow students to relate better with those from different cultural values. In this respect, investing time to travel has a great effect of helping students to broaden their perspective. Second, traveling help students enjoy a better quality of life. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in South Korea recently published an article in 'The Korean Herald' claiming that traveling at least one year encourage students to live happier lives. Traveling helps students to break away from their daily routines and eek happiness. By diverting from the mundane, students have oppounities to encounter new activities to increase their life satisfaction. For instance, traveling around the world they have never visited has psychological benefits. It helps to detract focus from stress they get from reading countless textbooks and getting grade reports after every single test all the while generating energy to get back to tedious routines with refreshed mind-sets. This ultimately encourages students to enjoy a better quality of life. To sum up, I believe that it is crucial for students to invest their time at least one year traveling for the following reasons; to broaden perspectives and enjoy a better quality of life. Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated due to the reason I have mentioned above. |
