People have
different opinions concerning how visitors behave in other countries. Some
argue that they should follow local traditions because it is the only way to
show their respects, while others think the host country should accept cultural
differences.
In order to
preserve the characteristics of local society, some people think visitors
should follow local customs because the main purpose of visit is to experience
different cultures. However, if visitors stick to their behaviors in another
society, it is meaningless to stay there. Moreover, it could be interpreted as
a rude action by local residents. Thus, for a better, memorable experience,
travelers should recognize cultural differences and follow local customs.
On the other
hand, others think local residents should welcome different cultures because it
is hard for visitors to follow rules of the local society. According to a
study, it takes a long time for people to adapt to the society which has
different atmosphere and traditions. For example, based on the fact that Asian
cultures and European cultures are not same, it I hard for people to accept
cultural differences easily. As this show, the host country should consider the
gap between cultures and welcome other customs.
To sum up, some
people believe that there might be no problem even if travelers stick to their
habits in other countries, while others think people should follow local
customs. It is clear that this is a contentious topic, however, I firmly
believe that people should understand and follow local traditions in order to
preserve its unique characteristics.
