Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this to you about the article on the theme “People should see their own countries first before visiting others” which appeared in your newspaper last week. This article left an extremely strong impression on me and I personally agree with it. I think traveling abroad is an amazing experience and I would highly recommend everyone to try it if they get the chance. However, in order to properly understand other countries and their cultures, you might as well as explore your own first.
For the holidays you can always choose a destination to visit. It always brings happiness when you are go away for the weekend or a week or two. During that special time away from the normal everyday events, you should try to make an effort to cross your own country from one end to the other. Make plans to visit all the tourist attractions in your own country. Start with the ones that are closest to your area of residence and then try to pass by all the cities, major town and see all the famous landmarks. You will discover places you didn’t even know existed. The difference in scenery will amaze you. The numerous amounts of new information and knowledge that you get from travelling in your own country might surprise you.
Furthermore, when you travel to other parts of the country you will find that practices in culture and beliefs vary greatly. It is interesting to know that even when you come from the same nation, speak the same language as everyone else in your country; there are still a

    It can be difficult to see our own culture, because it too familiar, too ubiquitous to recognise. Cultural assumptions are usually hidden and become more apparent when one encounters contrast. When individuals encounter foreigners, or visit other cultures, cultural differences become more apparent. Many have stated that, if it were not for the existence of more than one culture, we would not think of about culture at all! The apparent differences of how human think, feel and act are what make us aware of culture.…

    Although individuals handle particular situations differently, there are universal themes and rituals that span from culture to culture. Although these traits are inert they are witnessing first hand through the different perspectives and actions that each culture experiences. Different cultures tend to have contrasting values and beliefs which can lead to the questioning of the validity of other cultural practices. When there is cultural conflict between two separate societies, people tend to think that the opposing cultures values and morals are wrong because they differ from the views of each others, this develops into a cultural sense of ethnocentrism, which is the belief that ones own cultures values and beliefs…

    I am writing this letter to Jeremy Rifkin’s article “A Change Of Heart About Animals.” I disagree. I don’t think we can change the way we treat animals. I think we should just let them be and have them live their own habit. If we change the way we treat animals, than they would be like humans and not themselves. They wouldn’t be just normal animals. I feel that animals should be in their own habit and not become more like humans.…

    I would personally like to thank Jeremy Rifkin for his earth-shaking findings published in “A Change of Heart about Animals”. Without Rifkin’s article, I never would have realized that animals can experience pain, suffering, and affection (2). The global community is truly indebted to Rifkin for proving, for the first time ever, that animals are actually living, breathing creatures—a truly groundbreaking scientific achievement, no doubt. The truth is: Rifkin has proven nothing new and merely demonstrated the barefaced hypocrisy of the animal rights movement.…

    For example, most countries have different languages. This is due to the fact that countries are culturally diverse. Mexico has 68 official languages and Nepal has 123. Both of these countries are very diverse. Culture and traditions still matte today because they identify who we are, teaches us how our ancestors used to live, and what our origins are.…

    When traveling to a country different from his own, an individual may be intrigued and astounded by the sights, smells and the people he discovers. This all plays a part in the experience the tourist comes out for and pays for. The individual plans and books this visit to enjoy his stay at the exotic land. By doing so, the individual can take a break from the life he left back in his hometown and use this opportunity to escape its harsh realities. However, what they don't realize is that they are also stepping into the lives and homes of others and ultimately, their reality. Keeping an ignorant mindset may be beneficial for the tourist, but may be destructive for the culture and lives of the natives. By sticking to the surface, the tourist objectifies…

    Marriage is sacred, and everyone deserves to be with the one they love regardless of their sexual orientation. In an article that appeared on October 2, 2012 on the Star Tribune website, you stated that "marriage is sacred" and that it "should be between a man and a woman." Although the former is correct, I hope you can revise your opinion on the latter.…

    I am writing this letter in regards to the recent article that was printed in the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week criticizing the study of Shakespeare in school and how it should be removed from the year 9 syllabuses. One of Shakespeare’s most famous works is the play of Romeo and Juliet which is also one of the world’s best-known love stories. A play such as Romeo and Juliet incorporates profound themes of human nature, father and daughter relationships and the inevitability of fate. In addition, exposing students to a multitude of literary techniques, challenges students with difficult language and style, expresses a profound knowledge of human behavior and offers insight into the world around us. Simply stated, I believe students should study Romeo and Juliet in school because of the incredible value within the play.…

    When we apply the term 'culturally and linguistically diverse', we must not make generalisation within or across groups of people, because individual difference still exists in the same ethnic group. For example, people might hold different beliefs depend on what their religious faith is. On the other hand, individual from different ethnic backgrounds may share similar fundamental values according to their individual similarity (Cologon, 2014, p.…

    When the Sonora Union High School Bond Measure J was on the November 2012 ballot, I voted for it with pride because I knew it would enrich and improve the lives of young people. It was specific enough, in both word and intent, to get me and at least 55 percent of the electorate to pass it. If the list of projects was “too broad” for some people, it was their right to vote “no” at the time. What makes me angry is that those who don’t like the Measure J “aquatics center,” are now holding our “yes” vote hostage while they try to overturn the results of a legally held election.…
