Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome culture difference. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Part of the population believes that newcomers when visiting different countries should
respect
and adapt their attitudes to the usual behaviour of that place. Others believe that the hosting
country
should be flexible about

customs. Both views have important points-of-view that should be considered.
First
of all,
although
visiting a different
country
is something very common in the modern world, people should
respect
each other culture and customs no matter where they came from. People who take part as guests should understand that cultural behaviour is something important and keenly connected to the historical construction of a place;
therefore
, not following or respecting some traditions might be considered as an
agression

aggression
to some people.
For instance
, in some countries on the orient
such
as India
Add a comma

show examples
the cow is recognized as a blessed animal;
hence
, it represents an insult to
indians

diminishing the importance and
respect
they pay to that animal.
On the other hand
, some flexibility should be considered when receiving someone who might not understand the importance of some traditions. People are not obligated to understand and know everything related to a
country
that they are visiting;
therefore
, it should
also
be mandatory for the host
country
to welcome the visitor and make him feel
confortable
Correct your spelling
comfortable
, safe and well advised about any important subject. To illustrate that situation,
for instance
, in some states in Brazil it is not regularly taught in the education system what is and what is not acceptable in some countries. To conclude,
although
some people believe that host
country
should welcome culture difference, in my opinion, should be visitor's responsibility searching for some information about what is acceptable or not in a certain
country
and
also
adapt his or her attitudes to
respect
another culture and their inhabitants.
