A
My first week in the United States was a cultural shock.Everything felt new to me,
including the style of conversation,the community I lived in and even the type of food
people ate.
In our community back home,people eat mutton and chicken.Pork and beef are also
common among other communities,but eating beef is taken as an illegal act.Unlike Nepal,
%
eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than
Hinduism.
Food is just an example.When people move from one part of the world to another,they
should adapt themselves to the new culture.For example,going to the bars or getting drunk is
not acceptable in my community,but it is common in the US after a certain age.

I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal.We have a conservative opinion towards
数
the marriage.Arranged marriages are common in which families decide whether the two should
get married.Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen.Same-sex marriage is also
considered impossible.
To me,culture is a matter of habit.The culture is so deep-rooted in people's minds that
most people are against changes.It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing
班
throughout their life.It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.However,with
travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people,one always conies across different cultures.
仰
In such cases,one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow.The
world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.
