雅思作文范文之文化冲突

  As the world grows smaller, as ever-increasing numbers of people travel, work

  or study abroad, more attention is being focused on how to treat culture

  difference. It has risen as to the issue of whether foreigner should follow the

  custom of visited country, or host nation should greet the exotic culture.

  Before giving my opinion, I think it is essential to look at the argument on

  both sides.

  Some people claim that visitors should learn and suit local culture and

  behavior, which is benefit for both visited nation and exotic people. As far as

  visited country is concerned, it is an effective measure to protect local

  custom and culture heritage that is formed through thousands of years. To

  foreigners, by learning local custom and culture they understand the behavior

  and way of local citizen, and adapt to the society quickly. In addition, it is

  a good chance of broadening their horizon and expanding their experience.

  However, other people also have strong reasons to argue that any nation should

  embrace the different culture. At first, Foreigners usually take many novel

  ideas and things that will enrich the entertainment and recreation. In the

  second place, visitors might push the economic development of host country. For

  example, in Chinese history, Zhenhe took many new technique such as weaving

  cloth, agriculture and making wine to south-east Asia, which exerted great

  influence on local people's lives. Last of all, in the era of information, for

  a company or a nation it is good way to gain undefeated position only by

  learning external world and making others to learn yourself.

  Taking into account of all these factors, I am in favor of the latter view that

  nation should embrace the difference culture and absorb it's merit. In the near

  future, all the people on the earth will break through the border of nation and

  live in one happy family.
