Q. It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other people's cultures. We can learn just as much from books, movies and the internet. Do you agree or disagree with statement?

It is no longer necessary to travel to different regions to experience other cultural differences among people, instead we can learn about such cultures from books, films and the Internet. Although the world is now globally connected through various websites and satellites, travel is an indispensable experience. In my opinion, both approaches are equally interesting and useful, but personal preferences differ.

Despite some problems, visiting remote places around the world can be very rewarding. Moreover, it gives people opportunities that would otherwise be impossible if they stayed in one place. For example, Forrest Gump became one of the most successful businessmen in the world because he traveled to many countries where he found so many chances. Therefore, there is no need to travel to other countries to learn about other people's cultures.

On the contrary, traveling can cost a lot of money and effort. In addition, globalization has made everything possible and knowledge of any field in the world does not require much time, money or energy. For instance, social media has made it easier to follow Paris Fashion Week and even made it possible to participate virtually by leaving reviews and submitting comments. Therefore, there is just as much to learn about the world from books, movies, and the Internet.

To conclude, while it is believed that it is very important to travel to different regions of the globe in order to gain some knowledge of cultural differences, others believe that we can replace such a process with surfing the Internet or reading some books. Indeed, it is a good idea to learn more about other countries remotely, but the physical experience of landing in another country is an absolutely exceptional feeling. From my point of view, flying to other lands can be as rewarding as reading a magazine or watching a movie about them, and it's just a matter of taste.
