Globalization

In the recent years cultures are becoming more and more influnced by each other. They are gradually starting to look the same. This have led to some people to think that there is no need to travel to experience different culture because they can experience it in their own country. Although it might be true that cultures around the world are getting influenced by each other, they are still unique.

First of all, different cultures speak different languages. Language is part of the identity of each person. For example Arabic is the language of Islam. Muslim need learn Arabic to read Quran. Jewish need to learn Hebrew to read Torah. Traveling to a country where the majority can speak certain language and meeting the local people will allow you to understand the culture more.

Second of all, many cultures have historical building that can explain the history of their culture. When you go there and see the place by your eye and feel the atmosphere in your heart, you will have better understanding of the culture.

These kind of experiences cannot be experienced in your own country.
