People have different opinions about whether travelling is crucial to gain knowledge about overseas countries, while others believe that TV and the Internet can play a pivotal role to broaden their horizons about those foreign countries. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss both sides of arguments and provide relevant examples to support my viewpoint.
There are a number of reasons why travelling is considered as an important source of gain knowledge about foreign countries. One possible reason is that travelling provides individuals numerous opportunities to experience new places and learn about foreign traditions, cultures, and beliefs, which are the helpful ways to reduce the cultural barriers. Another reason is that when people travel overseas, they have the opportunity to meet people face to face which involves better interaction. As a result, individuals get more detailed knowledge about specific nation which cannot be possible through TV and documentaries. For example, when people travel Japan, they can visit different places, in which also they can witnessed the cherry blossom season and that experience never beated (beaten) up by the other options.
Despite the above arguments, it cannot be denied that TV and the Internet are now playing crucial role in gain knowledge about the world. Firstly, not all people have that access to travel the world and gain knowledge, people are bounded by travel, limited money and restrictions. In that case TV and the Internet has made things so convenient to people that people can gain knowledge about different countries. Secondly, through the Internet various information which cannot be gathered by individuals and the TV made it possible sort of. For example, information about unviewable resources, difficult to reach places and other, Internet and TV are playing roles of disguise and information made available for citizens.
In conclusion, although TV and the Internet play important roles in gather information about foreign countries, I believe travelling is the best way to gain knowledge about other countries, because it offers more options and gives freedom to individual about achieve desire information.
