How do we learn about other culture?
We are now living in this world in the 21st century where globalization takes place completely. Communication and transportation are very easy now that we have internet and high speed rail. One day we are in Bangkok, and another we might easily be in London. Thus, learning about people from different cultures is very necessary. Here, I would like to tell you how we can do that.
First, an open heart can help a lot. Discrimination is considered to an awful act. Nobody would want to be looked as a racist. Therefore, we need to be very open minded and treat everyone equally regardless of their race. For example, when in a foreign country and meet new people, instead of be scared and give others untrusting look, you should talk to them nicely and ask if there is something you do not understand about them. This can help with learning about other culture very well.
Next, understanding English is necessary too. For being the international English, being able to use the language competently makes it easier for us to understand others. At least, knowing English opens many doors to information. We can always look it up in the books or on the internet about whatever we want including cultures.
To sum up, now it is very important that we understand each other as we live in this small world. I suggest that there be two major things that could facilitate learning about other cultures. One is to be open minded, and another is to know English.
