Traveling to oversea and working at other countries are very trending in recent years. In order to be ease when we are decided to stay overseas or visit, at least we need to know about the history and cultures of the country where we are going to visit or work to make sure we can communicate well with local people and to be able to adapt with the ground.
The very crucial reason of why we need to know the history and culture is that when we are in another country, we must give respect to their culture. Local people are willingly to communicate when we value their culture and they love to spread their own historical habit to other visitors. For ibstance, when we visit to the religious area, if we learned in advance of its history, we will definitely know what to wear and how to behave in respectful way. As a result, we could receive the good comments from local of how we behave well.
Another reason is the adaptability to new place. When we moved out to new country, if we had not prepare well enough of its culture, we will encounter the challenges in any aspects. Not know cultures means we do not know how we can communicate well and how to live with adaptability. For example, when I visited to Myanmar in their new year period where they do feasting after 12 noon and I didn’t aware of that and I faced finding no food in anywhere for lunch. If I had know it earlier, I would have prepared some food for myself to avoid from starving,
To sum up, knowing other countries’ history and culture is important if you are planning to visit that country or stay there to keep yourself being able to communicable and be ready for adability,
