One of the most beautiful traits of humans

is their passion to learn and explore

cultures

. While some people believe that travelling is a must to discover

cultures

, others believe that it can be attained through reading materials, movies and the internet. I disagree that to learn about

cultures

, people have to travel. Due to two main reasons, one it is more convenient and two it costs less.

First

, globalization has turned the world into a small village. With modern technology we can get information instantly from anywhere around the globe,

moreover

using films is an immersive learning experience .

For example

couple of weeks, I enjoyed a documentary that I watched online, the documentary tackled Chinese culture, and I was able to explore the wonders of

this

Asian culture from my home, thousands of miles away from China, Similarily

such

an experience can be achieved through books.

Thus

, if technological means were implemented to learn about culture, plenty of time can be saved.

Second

, travelling to sites to experience

cultures

will require aeroplane tickets, hotel stays, ground transportation, and entrance fees, which will impose costly bills.

On the other hand

, learning about them through books, the internet and films can

cost

significantly less.

For instance

, a cultural book may

cost

around 20$ plus another 20$ movie about the same topic adding up to 40$, the total

cost

will be tiny compared to travelling

cost

. With

such

affordable costs, people with limited budgets can gain access to various

cultures

. To conclude I say, that convenience and

cost

-saving, are two vital reasons why I disagree that travelling is necessary to explore

cultures

.

This

is a result of technological advancement, one can explore many

cultures

within days and for a small

cost

.
