On the one hand, endeavoring to integrate with totally new and different customs will give you a comfortable life. It can not be denied that the first step that is troublesome, each place has its language and ritual, which might be drastic differences from your original culture, but if they have been through culture shock, they would not only make friends but also enjoy its festivals as indigenous people. Moreover, when they are getting used to the cuisine of that place, they would avoid some diseases, which relate to the digestive system. According to research by WHO in 2010, 10% of people who have not been acquainted with eating sushi suffered severe abdominal pain due to eating sushi in the wrong way.

On the other hand, the culture will be preserved if people bring their own customs to other regions. It is obvious that immigrants have to integrate without assimilating. Passing down their custom from generation to generation, remembering where they belong to and what their identity is, all of which indicates great gratitude to their predecessors. Furthermore, it also contributes to the cultural diversity of that country, in which the citizens are tolerant of each other with different cultural values. For example, there are many Vietnamese immigrants settling down in California, the USA, where Little Saigon - a small mall that sells products resembling Ben Thanh market in Viet Nam.

In conclusion, when you become familiar with the new condition, you will live comfortably by creating new relationships and avoiding some diseases. Nevertheless, preserving their own customs is not only showing gratitude to their ancestors but also creating a cultural variety for the new area they live in. 

First and foremost, adopting society’s traditions can bring people a source of manners lessons, or moral values. It is considered that people are products of the values and norms of the society they lived in. Tradition can influence every part of an individual's life as it affects the way they dress, eat, express their daily routine, and interact with others. Therefore, when youngsters follow traditional values, they can become more self-disciplined and well-behaved in every way of life. For instance, Vietnamese children are always taught to be deferential to their older family members, which will make a strong connection in their family and also in their social life. We cannot deny the importance of traditional beliefs provided when children and adolescents concur in following them.

Despite the above-mentioned view, I would side with those who choose to behave independently as they can arrive at their way of life. There are some traditions in the form of social biases that are detrimental to people, especially women. Gender inequality happens widely in Vietnam’s remote and inaccessible areas due to the antiquated ideas of ethnic traditions by their ancestors; for example, most of the Vietnamese ethnic minority women are responsible only for child-bearing and child-rearing, they cannot have the right to choose what they do to their bodies and their lives. As a human, I think everyone should have the chance to make decisions by themselves without the assessment of their society’s traditional beliefs. Furthermore, people can express the characteristics that make them one of a kind in society by having freedom in their behaviors. To illustrate, the young can wear dresses based on their interests without carefully considering that traditional customs are necessary for specific events such as the Tet holiday. This may lead to the opportunity of developing their own styles at their discretion, which will contribute to their unique identity.

In conclusion, while pursuing traditions brings us many moral values, I believe that youngsters should act upon their own spirits as long as they would behave rationally and appropriately.
