people moving to a new country should accept new culture in the foreign country Some people think that people moving to a new country should accept new culture in the foreign country rather than living as a separate minority group with different lifestyle. Do you agree or disagree? My answer: It is suggested that the immigrant should resemble the native culture and behave in a similar way as the local people do, instead of sticking to their original tradition. Although getting adapt to the new culture does facilitate their life and work, I do not believe it is possible or reasonable to abandon all the tradition they inherited. Admittedly, accepting the dominant value and imitating behaviors of the native is one of the most effective way to fit into the society when resettling in a new country. This is primarily due to the fact that people are more inclined to trust others who are similar to themselves. As a member of ethnic group, the immigrant may face more challenges and be misunderstood if insisting to their own lifestyle when doing business or studying at school. By contrast, If they accept the culture assimilation, they may find it easier to start their business or get promotion in the workplace. There may, however, be practical problems in erasing all their original tradition for new immigrants. This is because is is the traditions, customs as well as the lifestyles that shape our identity and make us who we are. For example, it is neither possible nor reasonable to force the overseas Latino not to play the soccer, or forbid the Japanese drinking tea. The original culture is deep rooted in people’s mind and influence our daily life ranging from the eating habits to leisure pastime. Furthermore, there are many benefits of keeping their own tradition. Every culture remains unique merits, and this can be the principe people like to follow when making decisions. A good illustration is that most Brazilian born Japanese keep the merits of keeping a low profile and paying extreme respects to others whatever they are undertaking, this is the most notable quality that distinguishes them from other groups in Brazil, and earn them a great reputation. In conclusion, while accepting the basic value and imitating the behaviors of native people do benefit the immigrant, I believe keeping their own tradition also plays a positive role in shaping their identity and providing them unique advantages over others.
