Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour. Others disagree and thinl that the host country should welcome cultural differences.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
In the trend of modernization and globalization, people become more interested in forgeign countries and different culture. Actually, there are different types of ways to experience these, such as enjoying the pictures of foreign scenery, and the articles describing the special and strange culture, which is different from our own. However, overwhelmingly, the most popular way is travelling abroad as a result of the growing income. Thus, there are some problem raised, such as how to deal with the cultural gap between the tourists and the hosts.
On the one hand, some people hold the opinion that foreign visitors should obey the local customs and behaviour in their destinations. If we look into some areas where possess the different customs from the rest of the world, we can find something trouble us. As in Arabia, the people symbolize the action of nod as 'no', while in other parts of the world, it is the symbol of 'yes'. Therefore, it may mislead both the visitors and the hosts during the pocess of chatting or bargain, furthermore, unfortunately, it can even result in some qurral. To avoid these unexpectable situation, tourists should do some preparation before their tour and follow the local customs.
On the other hand, other people believe that the host countries should inderstand the different culture. The methods of American tourists showing their appreciation, which is embracing when meeting at the first time, or kissing each other goodbye, may make a Chinese guide uncomfortable, for the reason that people often kee a distance from strangers, but in fact Chinese people can usually accept these actions because of our hospitality. To diminish such embarrassment, the host countries should also comprehend the cultural differences.
In conclusion, I think that either the tourists, or the hosts, should respect each other, and only in this way can they forgive some contridiction due to the cultural gaps and also bridge them. |
