Essay for College : Importance of Cultural Sharing

"Importance of Cultural Sharing"

 

"Man is by nature a political animal", well said Plato, "and thus is social." Being gregarious and civilized, we, people, cannot be reclusive. We have our own norms and values, traditions and cultures, thoughts and cares. There have always been cultural amalgamations amomg people of various races and places.

 

Who dares not to share and experience cultures, let alone one's owned? And I am not the exception. It is very important to do so not only to make one's culture with fame but also to identify oneself to the specific group. Personally, it is vital that I share my Nepalese culture(s)  with American students, community members and other foreign students as well. To know the life styles and living, exchange ideas and traditions and as the word 'lingua franca', everything multiples be it culture or dialects. I love to share my cultures with every new person I meet and hope others do too.

 

"How is the way of living in your place?" is the most frequent question I ask people from different culture. Sharing my ideas and cultures make me feelproud of my community, people and the entire nation. I will also enrich my knowledge of varied people, commuinty and their cultures there at SCSU environs. Hope to help and be helped from the environment and obviously the people. This system of cultural exchange is perfectly analogous to the traditional bartered ways of trading in which values are exchanged as cultures and goods. Though, this is merely abstract and can only be practiced right on the spot.
