Taking a class that teaches foreign cultures in necessary for all students. Do you agree or disagree?

 

           It is widely believed that taking classes that teaches foreign cultures is unnecessary for all college students. Some people advocated that increasing history classes is much useful and educational rather than foreign culture. However, I disagree with this statement. I firmly believed that it is necessary to take a class about foreign cultures. This is because first, it is educational and second, it allow student to have chances to succeed in their lives.

           First of all, foreign culture class include educational process. In other word, when student learn other countries' cultures, they can broaden their perspective and it help student be more creative. Normally, in order to understand other countries' culture, they have to study their history. It help student have a chance to be in their shoes and it is useful to break their bias which makes people be patriotic. For example, my friend Ming-chai came from china and her major was literature. Some Chinese are strongly believe that china was the most powerful country and Chinese culture was the most dominant among all around the world's culture. However, after she had a European culture class and Latin America history classes, she changed her mind. She though variety of culture is very important in these globalized society and she learned a lot of knowledge in those classes. From that time, she has wrote novels about Latina Americans' story based on the information what she learned in her classes. Through this experience, I believed that foreign culture class is necessary and it is educational.

           In addition, foreign culture class allow students to succeed in their lives. To be specific, it help students   start their business on abroad when they become adults. Business market is very complicated and complex. If people, who start their work at other country, do not understand local culture, it would be very difficult to have a success in those field. However, students get cultural knowledge and reflect it to their business, it would be a definite resources for their success. According to the study done by The New York times, shows that 90 percents of people, who were considered as they were success by neighbors and coworkers, learned foreign cultures. People said that since they were high school students, they had decided their mind // and learning other cultures in school was very useful to make decision. The study revealed that foreign culture class is one of the triggers for their success working abroad. It is legitimated to say that having foreign culture class is necessary for students.

           In conclusion, taking class that teaches foreign culture is needed for students. That is because first, it is educational for students and also, it help students have a success in their lives.
