Answer 1

There are many different ways you can obtain information about the outside world. Among them there are: reading, watching television, using the Internet and many others. But I personally think that traveling is the most effective way to learn about the world you live in because all sensitive parts of our body are involved in this process. I encourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as for pleasure. It's necessary to see other lands and experience other cultures. Traveling increases the perception that the world is populated by people who not only speak differently but whose cultures and philosophies are other than your own. Perhaps travel can't prevent bigotry but by demonstrating that all people cry, eat, worry, die, laugh it can introduce the idea that if we try to understand each other we may even become friends.

To my mind the main purpose of traveling is studying the way of life, cultures of other people, observing people's relationships, different historical monuments and many-many other. Traveling also is a splendid way of communication and making new friends because we are more alike than unalike. Perhaps the great disadvantage of tour-programs is the thing that we are allowed to see only what the organizers want us to see and no more. That makes, somehow, our opinion traditional and narrow. We have no opportunity to formulate our own opinion according to our experience. The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotype. We don't see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been made up to believe they are. We are all similar to each other but at the same time unique.
