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?

These days, migration has become the major concern for many people world wide. More and more people tend to leave their home

economic
or religious reasons, and many of them suffer to adapt to the new environment, but should they change their ways and methods in order to fit in
this
new society? In my opinion, I disagree up to a point because of the following reasons:
Firstly
, moving to another

should not erase your identity because you do not belong to

. You should always be proud of wherever you are and pick the things that fit your culture and beliefs from
this
new environment.
In other words
, you should accept some changes, but only those changes which you are sure they are 100% right,
for example
: respecting the law, being friendly and cooperative, etc...
In addition
, people who change their identity because of migrating to another

will not be respected by the people of their home.
Secondly
, it is very important to show the people of the

this
should not make them erase their identity or change their ways.
Also
, you should only be brave enough to show the difference and people may accept it easily.
Finally
, saving your ideas and being proud of your

, will make you more respected and provide you with confidence and inner peace
