My essay is due tomorrow and I'm like..brain dead. What I have so far is so..crappy. -.- Stupid argumentive essay.

Anyway, could anyone think of a couple ideas or reasons why people should learn other people's cultures instead of just staying to their own? So far, I have that they could learn from each other. And that's it.

Help please!!

While expanding your horizons and views of different cultures, you're developing many skills along the way. You're developing social skills as well because as your mind expands to different ideas and different perspectives, you can correlate those ideas to withstand any given issue. Issues such as discrimination. If you're only set to your own culture, you wouldn't be able to understand this concept clearly, and would be ignorant to the fact that this still precedes to affect our society in many ways. However, with the knowledge of other cultures, the obtained input on these issues can serve for a better basis for our society, while providing you knowledge of current events that have been masked with other issues such as politics.
Issues such as politics have been adapted with different cultures. They get involved with international affairs and politicians [although some more close-minded than others] have to understand the crisis of other countries in their cultural perspective. For example, when the country of Nicaragua was offered aid by the US to overcome a crisis that they had since they were in deficit, this shows that the knowledge of the cultural issues, such that this is a third-world country, helps elevate the important issues that surround us. Without knowledge of these issues, and other cultures, we'd be close-minded and subjected to following a redundant routine of blandness and ignorance.


:]
Hope that helped...whoa I got inspired.
