Nowadays, more people are migrating to other countries than ever before. In order to become integrated into society in their adopted countries, immigrants should abandon their old ways and adapt to local customs and codes of behavior. Do you agree or disagree?

There are a variety of different opinions on whether or not immigrants should change their

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

to fit in with their new

country

.

Although

some people would no doubt disagree, I personally believe that newcomers should indeed try to adapt. In my view,

this

means following both the written laws and social customs of their adopted

country

. There are two primary reasons for

this

.

Firstly

, it is obvious that

society

would not function properly if newcomers did not obey the law. One particularly good example of

this

is road rules – image what would happen if people refused to drive on the same side of the road.

Thus

, it is necessary for immigrants to make sure that they obey the law in their new

country even

are different. Two other examples of things which are allowed in some

Secondly

, it is important to remember that societies are built on shared values. The social rules of a

country

are the glues that keep it together, so immigrants must respect them. Certainly, having many different cultures makes a

country

more interesting;

however

, I would argue that too much difference weakens a

society

by making people feel that they do not belong there. I believe that

the similarities

between people bring them together, while their differences pull them apart. A healthy

must try to adjust to local rules of
