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

It is well-known that mass voluntary migration comes from some developing countries. Some

people

believe that these

people

have to abandon their old ways in their original

country

and adapt to their adopted

country

. In

this

essay, I will argue that it is the

first

priority task of immigrants to accept both written and unwritten rules in their adopted

country

. The reasons for

this

are twofold.

First

of all, it is a vital mission for

newcomers

to know the

law

in the adopted

country

. The

law

protects humans to have basic rights, and it

also

prohibits some behaviour to maintain social order. An action

such

as gambling could be allowed in some countries, but it could be a criminal in other countries. If

newcomers

can know the

law

of their

country

well, they can consciously prevent themselves to break the

law

.

Secondly

,

newcomers

have to respect the social norms of their adopted

country

for maintaining societal cohesion. As a common saying goes, ‘When in Rome, do as Romans do.’ Indeed,

this

is the best way for immigrants to get used to local customs.

However

, some might refuse to attend local events because they do not accept them at all.

Similarly

, some local citizens would not accept

newcomers

and react as xenophobia.

This

causes a lot of conflicts between them. In

this

case,

people

have to learn how to respect each other from different cultures. In conclusion, possible ways to fit in a new society would be following the

law

and respecting unwritten rules. I do believe that for better prospects for the future,

people

should consider what could achieve a better pluralist society.
