Well I think that it is important cause all of us need to globalise! In this age of urbanisation and globalisation, we often tend to forget our own roots n cultures. So to understand the world better, to create a niche 4 urself, and to globalise urself, it is very important to learn bout different cultures. Moreover I think it's really fascinating!. I'll give u an example..I'm from India, during my visit to US, I had an encounter with the American culture. This encounter helped me learn the secret of their prosperity and development.In fact, it made me happy too. And I hope that I'll be able to adapt the good points soon. I've travelled to places like Germany n Dubai. Each place has something to teach. Each has their own flaws, cons n pros. So this helps me know the world better! Thanks 4 the question....,
