I agree because, it gives people more knowledge about different cultures, & learn their backgrounds

I believe everybody should travel outside of their town, city, county, state, or country.... But
only if they want to... Travelling is good for you as a person, going to other countries and being
with people of different cultures/religions helps you develop as a human being. |

I believe so, it inhances your world view. |

I am all for travel and taking photographs of it abroad. Europe is the best. |

I am half-Korean teenager, and I didn't realize what my life was missing until I visited South Korea
several times.
I definitely became more open-minded after visiting South Korea, and I learned an INCREDIBLE amount.
You can read all you want about something, but you'll never fully understand it until you experience
it yourself.
I'm now looking forward to visiting again, and hopefully I can travel the world! |

I know people who have not step foot outside there own city let alone there country. & they are all
stereo typical ignorrant narrow minded over patriotic & more often than not racist with a very big
chip on there shoulders... |

I agree everyone needs to realize first hand what other countries are like and why their own is
better or worse. It should make you appreciate where you come from in some small if not large ways! |

It is a good experience. |

Oh yes, I agree. I travel a lot so I love experiences the life of people living in other cultures. |

This is one world, and if humans are messing it as bad as AL Gore says, than you better do it quick. |

Yes then they could see other cultures. |
| |
|

Who could argue against this?
Ignorance of other cultures and their customs leads to unfounded prejudices and misunderstandings.
Everyone should go to the Third World at least once, to see that live is indeed possible without
“modern conveniences,” like running water, electricity, phone service, even proper roads. Yes,
folks, it is!
I never go into a drugstore and see its 40 brands of toothpaste without remembering the Andean
Indian women I’ve seen selling tiny bruised apples on dirty blankets. Travel to underdeveloped
nations gives one a sense of perspective; 40 brands of toothpaste are an absurd luxury that we have
come to view as essential. Get real!
There are selfish reasons to travel -- to see pretty and historic places, lie on beaches,
participate in fun ecotourism activities, relax with loved ones -- but, to me, learning about and
being forced to join into “lesser” cultures is the primary one. |

Traveling is one such activity which widens some one's knowledge and idea about the different
cultures that we have in this world. If someone is having the chance then he or she must make a move
outside the country as and when possible. Thus someone can get to know how people in other countries
live, what their lifestyles are, how they developed their culture, what business and other economic
matters prevail in that country. Besides this someone will also get the idea about the scenic beauty
and other natural elements in that land. When going to some other country one must keep in mind that
he or she may see absolutely diverse cultures or religious beliefs in that country but they should
not disagree with those ideas because every country is having the freedom to think and make their
own choices about everything. |

I agree with you. |

If they want to and it is not wrong; sure. Seeing different "worlds" is usually good. |

They should travel outside the country at least once, if finances permit. |

Traveling can be very educating whether it is traveling within your country or outside of it.
Distances have been deemed insignificant by the fast and convenient transportation modes that
prevail in the world today.
Experiencing different cultures and meeting people with different beliefs lets you have an open mind
towards life and its realities. By limiting yourself to one region you are deprived of the beauties
that are spread all around the world in different forms. |

Travel definitely broadens the horizons. And brings you into contact with different, cultures,
peoples and languages you might not otherwise encounter. There’s nothing like travel to enable a
person to appreciate and see new outlooks and ways of looking at things.
Staying in the one place can all too easily lead to your world and horizons, in all senses, becoming
very narrow and insular. It’s only by going away, too, that you often find a renewed appreciation
for aspects of your daily life you had become blasé about or simply took for granted. Being exposed
to new ideas can only be a good thing. |

I think that it's really a great Idea to go to different and learn about their culture history and
background. When you say "As often as possible" I'm guessing you mean whenever you get the money and
i agree1 |

Well I don't know about "as often as possible" or about "traveling" but living abroad has been a
great character building experience for me. I find simply traveling, ie. Staying at hotels and
seeing tourist stuff, doesn't cut it in comparison. However something is better than nothing. |

Actually no! Exploring is fun but there are much, much more things that NEED to be done not Want to
be done such as exploring! :)

People should learn about their own country first. We have the shortest history of any country. It
is a shame how little people know about our history and geography. I wish I had the finances to
travel the US. There is so much to see. The Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, Gettysberg, Washington D.C.,
etc. |
