Essay / How to relate to other cultures
Relationship is a fundamental and powerful tool that helps connect people together. People who have healthy relationships in their lives generally achieve big goals and live better than those who don't. Therefore, building relationships with others is something everyone should do in order to have a healthier and richer life. Building relationships with people from the same backgrounds and cultures who live in the same community as you can be quite simple. The reason is that members of the same community often use the same language and share similar traditions. However, establishing relationships with people from different cultures can be quite difficult and challenging. Nevertheless, relationships between people from different cultures and countries can be beneficial in many ways, such as providing opportunities to learn new languages as well as gain an abundant amount of valuable knowledge about different cultures; However, some difficulties are the language barrier and differences in lifestyles. Firstly, having the opportunity to learn new languages is one of the many benefits of relationships between people from different countries. Most countries have their own language, so it is essential to learn another language in order to build relationships with people from other countries. For example, I only knew how to speak Vietnamese before coming to the United States. However, knowing that I need to make new connections when I come to the United States, I need to learn English. Knowing English has greatly benefited me because I am able to communicate with other people at school. More importantly, I have more advantages and opportunities when I apply for a job knowing more than one language. Another example is f...... in the middle of a sheet of paper......(128). In this example, we clearly see that old Ding and his family have no problem washing with the river water; however, Salzman refuses to do so because he is concerned about his personal hygiene. Additionally, as Salzman refuses to wash, his friends find him dirty and begin to question him about the American way of life. From this it can be concluded that people from different countries have different lifestyles from each other and this can be difficult when trying to establish relationships with other people. In conclusion, relationships with people from other countries are certainly beneficial in this regard. that they offer the opportunity to learn new languages and gain valuable new knowledge about different cultures; Nevertheless, some difficulties that everyone faces are the language barrier and differences in lifestyles..
