Sample v121

Identifying the foreign customs is a difficult task for any visitors. Cultural conflicts may occur when one does not know much about the strange social codes other than his country. In reality, people’s opinion about whether the host country should encourage cultural differences or to what degree should they accept the alien cultures as they may cause annoyance to them. In my opinion, I insist that the local customs should be highly respected in many accessions but not necessarily be followed blindly.(82)

The primary concern is given to the significance of one’s national traditions and heritage that has been passed down. It is important because all these customs have undergone thousands of years of practice and become the treasure of a nation. For instance, the eating tradition in many areas and regions such as people eat red eggs when they have a new baby,, eating jiaozi—a kind of Chinese dumplings when we celebrate Chinese lunar new year, and still eating when someone’s grandpa passed away. This might be a blunt for nany visitors who first come here. Visitors in such a scenario may choose to practice as if he were a local or he might just see and enjoy the atmosphere.(120)

Even if visitors keep a stance away from the traditions of a foreign land, they should not be hostile to them. The reason is simple. If the visitors refuse to take the fact that the local customs may offend their faith or something they believe, and even they are disheartening, they will possibly act improperly under such situation. Taking eating out custom as example, Chinese people when eating out, there are always a person who masters the table and even pays the bill. This might be offensive to a foreigner who does not know or get used to this manner. But as we Chinese people say”RUXIANGSUISU’ literally means one should get used to local customs when visiting it. This is a reflection of what we discuss here about the culture diversity.(131)

In general, one should see how he knows about the culture and how he should react upon it. There are no fixed rules to be followed. What seems important is “ when in Rome, do as the Romans do” philosophy applies to many situations when one feels uncertain about the host culture.(52)
