原文:HLH0220 修改:William(美国华裔),雅思公主(shirleyzrb)TOPIC:Some people believe that visitors to other countries shoud follow local customs and behaviour. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
原文:
As to whether local customs and behaviour should assimilation with the other cultures , these arises a contentious1 discussion . Before presenting my view ,I intend to discuss both sides of the argument.
Advocates of the other cultures hold the belief that it is benefits of host country to interacted to the other cultures. To begin with ,tourism helps to introduce the country to foreigners and showcase the brilliant history and culture to the outside world. Moreover ,tourists from different countries also bring their own cultures , it can enhance mutual2 understanding between nations and maintain world peace .Worst of all ,as we know cross-cultural communication is becoming increasingly frequent and cultural assimilation and penetration3 is inevitable4.
Some other people ,however ,are strongly against the host country to have access to the diverses cultures for several sound reasons .Primarily ,it may exert some adverse5 effects on the aboriginal6 culture and minority languages to some extent .Furthermore ,cultural globalization will result in one homogenous7 global culture where everyone speaks the same and thinks the same .Last of all ,globalization poses potential risks to the preservation8 of aboriginal culture and languages .
From the above discussion ,we can see that both sides have sound reasonable . Personally ,I am in favor of assimilating with different cultures .On the other hand , we can not lose the sight of risks of globalization . And it is of great significance for a government to make efforts to conserve9 endangered culture and language.
