Today, people can use the internet to learn about the culture and lifestyle of the people of other countries. So, there is no need to travel to other countries to learn about their culture. Do you agree or disagree?
There is no doubt that nowadays people can find a lot of information online about the culture and lifestyle of foreigners. While I agree that internet can be useful to some extent to learn about another culture, it cannot match what a person can learn by actually visiting a country.
The main reason why I believe that travelling to a country is a must to learn about its culture, is that learning about a culture from the internet is just not the same. Experiencing a culture in reality is totally different. People expose themselves to foreigners and lifestyles that are usually totally different to what they find back home. They visit museums, meet new people and try out completely different cuisines. There are also some nuances in every culture, which can never be expressed in words or shown in a video. So, real culture is much more than what the internet can show.
Moreover, although the differences between two countries might not be that different, every new country people visit teaches them to appreciate new cultures. Travelling abroad makes people more broad-minded and more accepting of new things. Reading about a culture in a book or watching a video on the country can never bring about that appreciation. Besides this, travelling is just not about learning culture, it makes us patient, it makes us try new things, it teaches us how to make friends out of strangers, it is so much more.
Admittedly, internet can be an alternative if a person is curious to learn about another culture but cannot afford visiting the country. In the same way, it can be effective solution for people who cannot travel due to physical ailments. A person can certainly get an idea about a foreign culture by watching their movies on the internet or by reading online travel blogs.
To conclude, although internet is vast source of knowledge including information about other country’s culture and traditions, it can never be the same as learning about a culture by actually experiencing it.
Technology is progressing by leaps and bounds and there are number of inventios ,internet is one of them . Owing to this fact,masses can use the internet for imbibing the culture and lifestyle of other people of other nations,so from above explanations there is no need of visiting to other nations.Nevertheless, I would argue that evidence put forward by the proponents of this view point is unconvincing.
To begin with,it is not easy to learn other cultures and lifestyle of other people by internet,as sometimes internet offer wrong informations so,it can create misunderstood in persons.for instance,if someone visit to other countries so, they can learn the many things by face such as language, residential style,food, communication skills and many more.Hence,it is wrong path for people imbibing the culture of other nations by internet.
Admittedly, there are abundant reason why internet is suitable in order to know more about other cultures and lifestyle of other people.In the first place,this practice is lucrative for that folk’s those have no competency to visit other nations for this so,it can be useful for them to learn other cultures while sitting at home.Thus,this concept may be proves as boon for ordinary people.
To su up,as per my above discussion the both perspectives have the distinct stages according to the need of people which mentioned in above paragraphs.Nonetheless,I firmly assert that folk’s should visit to other nations,if they are financial garner.
