It is not neccessary to travel to other places to learn the culture of other people. We can just learn much from books, films and the internet . Do you agree or disagree ?

It is argued that nowadays

they wish, without needing to visit there themselves.
Although

Firstly

Secondly

Finally

However
, it is important for us to avoid having bias in the
books
we read and the films we watch and
moreover
, look out for all of the misinformation we witness on the internet.
On the other hand
, one should visit a place if he truly wants to learn about their society.

or watching movies.
For example
, you really don't know how Iranian food tastes without eating it in a traditional

in Iran.
Furthermore
, we know for a fact that most of the famous

researchers and historians were actually,

. One great example could be Markopolo who visited every country on the Silk Road and took some great notes about each country.
To conclude
,
while
today's technology has enabled us to have access to a tremendous amount of data and a whole lot of
people
get interested in other cultures
this
way, I believe one still has to visit and feel other cultures
instead
of only witnessing it from far distances.
