is relatively popular in today's society.

While

own native

so that it can be preserved. Before deriving an opinion, I will address the benefit and drawbacks of the above statement. First and foremost, one of the benefits of a

person

being informed about his or her

country

of

residence

is to improve knowledge of diversity.

This

is because by learning the other

, a

person

will have a better understanding of the local way of living without compromising his or her native origin. Take Asian immigrants in

for example

. There are a lot of Asian immigrants living in

Although

their standards of living have been improved in terms of advanced education and healthcare, they still get maintain their original background. They still eat Asian food and shop at oriental stores. Even though there

few benefits to assimilating with the

country

a

person

lives in, there is

also

a drawback. One of the issues of being assimilated with the

country

of

residence

is that a

person

tends to forget his own

culture

.

This

is because people are a creature of habit. If a

person

keeps living in the same manner taught by his

country

of

residence

, he will eventually forget his native

culture

.

For instance

, in Malaysia, children are taught in Malay

culture

to greet elders by bowing and kissing the elder's hands.

This

is not the case in

Australia

as Malaysian children who grow up in

Australia

are not exposed to

this

culture

.

As a result

, they tend to forget

this

culture

and the lesson behind it. In conclusion, upon weighing both benefits and concerns surrounding the above notion, I am of the opinion that a

person

should adapt to the

culture

of his or her

country

of

residence

while

at the same time making an effort to learn the

culture

of his or her native origin.

This

is so that the native

culture

can be preserved for the next generations to come.
