It is easy for us to learn about pther people in other countries as well through the internet. It is easy to learn and find knowledge on the internet now about almost anything. Thus, we do not really need to live in a country to understand people who live there.]]> 2020-07-07 06:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648931365 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648931759 By physically being in that country,we are more prone to acknowledging the locals there (e.g for directions) , we get to personally ask these people things. & what’s interesting is getting to know their way of interacting , even the way of saying simple hello may be different to our way of saying it.We are able to familarise ourselves to their culture, in turn, understanding them.]]> 2020-07-07 06:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648931759 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648931785 Yes, as we may go into the country with a perspective that may differ from what we actually experience. Also, the fact that living in the country would be able to allow you to integrate into the country with the people, is something that can happen once in a lifetime. This, hence, would give you the opportunity to actually be able to talk to people once being able to understand the language and culture, especially speaking and behavioral.]]> 2020-07-07 06:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648931785 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932402 emotions can never be portrayed through a simple text post about daily life, and in an event, you can never experience the same feelings a local might feel during that time. not just that, but learning a language with the locals can be significantly easier as compared to learning it overseas, as you’ll pick up internet slangs much faster and easier in the country itself. ]]> 2020-07-07 06:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932402 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932411 2020-07-07 06:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932411 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932438 It is indeed useful to understand the people residing in that country by living there. Sure you could search up what are cultures and practices the people have. (Ignoring the fact that the internet could be wrong as anyone can say anything with no consequences or fact checking) But that is nothing compared with being physically present, to immerse yourself in the culture and heritage of the country ]]> 2020-07-07 06:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932438 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932495 as we all have different cultures and religions , there is a need to understand people who love there as we all have different teachings and need to understand each other and their practices so as to avoid misunderstandings and unhappiness which could cause fights.]]> 2020-07-07 06:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932495 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932601 Yes. Due to different circumstances after another. The situation in other country is alot different. We tend to assume other country situation in comparison to our own country. But, we know nothing of such.]]> 2020-07-07 06:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932601 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932644 Being able to learn about the people who live in a certain country sounds like a rash decision. When in foreign land, it can be a very hard move to navigate through a country in which you haven’t been in for a long period of time. Furthermore, we have the internet to aid us in our search for any information out there that is very relevant to the people who live in a certain country.]]> 2020-07-07 06:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932644 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932966 there are many platforms out there that we can use to learn your desired languages ranging from websites to mobile applications. in this era, it is easier to learn a new language and you can learn it on your own pace. although it may be easier to learn the language in a community where people are speaking it, it is still possible for one to stay in your birth land but pick up a language from another country. ]]> 2020-07-07 06:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932966 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932986 The internet is full of fake stuff and we can’t just assume ways of people from different countries just by looking through the internet]]> 2020-07-07 06:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648932986 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648933087 Yes. We can only understand a country's situation by living and experiencing the challenges they go through every single day. It is very easy for us the make assumptions of people living in other countries through reading news articles or social media posts without understanding the full context. This then leads to stereotypes being created which at times are very negative or judgemental. Only after experiencing what is it like in other countries, we can then make an unbaised judgement. Which is why I feel that we should not make comments or support a movement without really understanding and just trying to join the bandwagon.]]> 2020-07-07 06:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648933087 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648933953 Yes we can only know so much from the information by different people living in the country . For us to know and learn better about them , we have to go there and experience it ourselves as different people has different opinios]]> 2020-07-07 06:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648933953 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934352 With the popularity of technology these days, many people will resort to social media for example, in reaching out to the world. There are a countless number of documentaries which go in depth about certain things, even relating to this topic.We are able to get interesting insights of these very detailed documentaries through the interviews of the documentary, or statements by the people themselves. Thus , we don’t necessarily need to be present in that country.]]> 2020-07-07 06:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934352 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934499 Yes this is because by living in their country,we are able to get first hand experiences on their cultures,habits and food.While this may also be found on the internet,it can not be compared to learning from them and their practices]]> 2020-07-07 06:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934499 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934575 The opportunity to understand certain types of people in a different country by going to that country is an oppurtinity that I’d like to take. For starters, it is a very engaging experience when you get to meet people face to face in that country. Having a local teach you is very effective, as that local is very knowledgeable, since he had lived in that country his whole life. It is a very "hands-on" decision, which makes it a very effective way to learn about the people in a certain country.]]> 2020-07-07 06:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934575 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934995 No i dont agree with this statement , as there are many other forms of education about people from other countries like for example , geography , social studies,  even citizenship and character education teaches us to be aware of not only of our country , but externally as well. Hence i feel that we need not live in that country to understand the people there]]> 2020-07-07 06:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648934995 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648935112 Yes, as we learn about peoples live from other countries from the internet and sometimes things we hear or see in the internet may not be true as some recordings are not being film fully. Therefore we just assume their lifestyle by seeing it in the internet but sometimes their lifes are much worse as it seems and we would not understand their situation unless we are in their shoes. ]]> 2020-07-07 06:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648935112 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648935536 No, living in a country doesn't mean that you will be able to fully understand their culture. Per say, you are living in america due to academic studies. If you soend your whole time in America cooped up in the dorms studying, obviously you will not be able to experience the true nature and atmosphere of being in america because you aren't looking and exploring. Taking time to understand a culture takes effort and motivation. One could live in a country and be ignorant of all their political and cultural issues due to the fact that they simoly do not care.]]> 2020-07-07 06:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648935536 https://padlet.com/tham_wai_mun_evonne/country/wish/648935940 no, that's why documentaries and other sources exist .. experiencing it would just enhance your perspective.
