The best way to understand other cultures is to work for a multinational organization. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is considered by many, that the preeminent method of learning different cultures is by working for a multinational company. In my opinion, It is not necessary to be the part of
such
companies, in order to get familiar with a large variety of cultures. To this
point, I completely disagree with the given declaration. This
essay introduces my point of view along with a description of stated statement.
Undoubtedly, the employees of multinational companies are from different countries and locations, thus
, follow various cultures and introducing others with the same. While working in these multicultural organizations we get exposed to a large variety of lifestyles. Therefore
, we can grasp different traditions. For Instance
, an employee from India and an employee from Canada works in the same company can share their customs in the form of food and apparels. Nevertheless
, the primer interest of the company is not aligned with the personal goals of learning new traditions.So, the whole process of learning becomes a by-product and Consequently
can never be in-depth.
On the contrary
, Travelling is the leading way of acquainting new rituals. Here an individual can get more exploration and personal touch than in offices. Traveller personally meets the locals of a particular and understands the community competently. For Example
, a myriad of foreigners are surprised on visiting India that 40% of Indians are purely vegetarian. Our perspective on new beliefs is opened up by travelling. Additionally
, this
process could be faster by means of learning and speaking the local language. A recent study by Mumbai University exclaims that tourists with minimal local linguistic capability learn a lot than the other ones.
To Conclude, we can say that we can't fully disagree that working in multinational organizations is a way to learn and understand various traditions. There are other options that can be opted such
as Travelling. Apparently, A traveller can get an in-depth knowledge of different rituals as compared to a multicultural organization's employee.Submitted by Harnish Kang on
