Sometimes it is very difficult to learn new the way people do things in a new culture. What can we do to make the life easier for newcomers?
------------------------------------------------------
“Every Change Offers Resistance” and “Changes Are Always for Good” is the strong belief since good old days and I too believe in this philosophy.
Every change would offer some resistance and from place to place way of doing the things would differ too and so is the culture. Hence when any person moves to a new place one is faced with this novelty and finds it difficult to be adaptable. Nevertheless not accepting change is like trying to swim against the current that could be extremely strenuous and perhaps in trying to do so one may even drown.
“When In Rome, Do as the Romans Do” this idiom is used to advise people to adapt to the culture of places that they visit. You should try to do as the people do who are from that place. Example: "I can't eat that." Reply: "Oh, give it a try. This is merely an arrangement of a few words that makes that country-man happy, no harm any way.
Visiting a new country means going into a new culture and that is an opportunity for us to see a new place, feel new environment, and know new people, new culture, and new customs. In addition one makes new friends and establishes new contacts. This all brings out a novelty in the life that is most pleasing and exciting. None should miss such golden opportunity.
In conclusion, to facilitate the newcomers to our country and make their life easier, we can politely convey and convince them about our customs etc. and request them to possibly adapt. In reciprocation we too must be too flexible and not rigid about our ways of doing the things when we go to a new place having a different culture.
