Due to recent developments and advancement in technology and transportation, travelling around the globe and commuting to work from distant areas has become abundantly easier. While I believe it forces the many people to adapt to situations

allows many people to explore outside of their comfort zones and experience cultures

besides

their own. The liberation of being able to live and work anywhere around the world,

although

a luxury to some, to others the constant fear of having to adapt to new environments is overwhelming. Every country, wherever you go around the world demands social interaction, and

this

is not easily done when one is not used to the language and social cues of a new land.

For example

, in Japan it is socially unacceptable to enter a house with your shoes on,

this

is seen as a sign of disrespect.

However

forcing myself into social isolation. Undoubtedly, the ability to adapt to certain cultural scenarios causes a great disadvantage to the development of technology and transportation.

This

being said, I believe that the progress that has been made in communication tool and transport vehicles has greater advantages than disadvantages. The ability to be anywhere on

Therefore

, affordability and accessibility are made easy with very effort on the parts of the people travelling. In conclusion, living and working is part of our human

fact, it

has become extremely easy due to transport abilities and all the different types of communication.

Although

one disadvantage is that you must quickly adapt to new environments you're placed in, My opinion is that the advantage of accessibility and the cheap trips that can be obtained are far greater.
