Culture and human behaviors

What is culture about? I think culture is made by a group of people’s behavior, same language, similar appearances and dresses. By these points, we can easily have a general idea about a society or a culture; as for every culture has its unique way to let their population live, I suggest that people need to learn how to respect other cultures and try to enjoy what these cultures could bring you a new vision of the world. There are two examples to support my opinions.
The first one is when we are going to travel to other countries. Nowadays, traveling has been a popular activity that most of the people will choose to do to have fun and relax or maybe they travel because of business needs. To this point, we may have more chances to be able to meet more people all over the world, and there is a saying goes “do as what Rome’s do”, this means when we are in a new environment or a society, we’d better learn to live in their ways. For example, western culture has a lot differences than eastern cultures. Take Chinese cultures for example, in Chinese families, when we are invited to go to other people’s houses, we tend to bring some fruit or food for the host because we think it is the way we show our gratitude to them and thanks for the invitation. And if we didn’t bring anything, we will be considered impolite. Furthermore, this is what we called a society custom.
Another example is about dress code. In the Middle East countries, such as U.A.E,, Saudi Arabia or Afghan and so on, women there are all being demanded to wear a scarf around their neck and cover their hairs. I have a friend from U.A.E. who is always wear a scarf on her head. Because I have been curious about her hair for a long time, one day, I asked her if she could put down her scarf and let me see what her hair color and hair style look like, but she said no. She explained to me it is because their culture; the Middle East women can only let their husbands to see their hairs and they are not allowed to let other people see them. That was the time I realized that why the Middle East culture are somehow more conservative than any other societies in the world.
In conclusion, we already have a brief idea why we should learn and respect other cultures. Learn more from other people’s behaviors, dresses, language and activities can help us to keep away from some embarrassing moment and help us to get along with other people from all over the world.
