“While In New Country Adopt New Customs or Not”

When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support your answer with specific detail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I prefer to adopt the customs of the new country where I go and live. I believe in the philosophy that: - “When In Rome, Do As the Romans Do” means that when you are visiting a new place, you should try to do as the people do who are from the place. Example: "I can't eat that." Reply: "Oh, give it a try. This is merely an arrangement of a few words that makes the country man happy, no harm any way.

People from different places have different ways of acting, so it is important to try to do things the way people do who are from the place that you are visiting. One cannot dictate his rules when he or she is a guest to someone.

Visiting a new country is an opportunity for the one 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. So why miss such a golden opportunity?

Also one should never forget that although every change offers a resistance, changes are always for good. Changes are inevitable. Changes are a way of life. One likes it or not changes are bound to be there. Hence one must not only accept the change, rather he or she must welcome them. Not accepting change is like trying to swim against the current that is extremely strenuous and in the process one may drown even.

In conclusion, the best policy in a new country would be to learn and honor their culture and practice their customs.
