Friendship across Cultures Vol. 1 | Page 50

The world is a mixture of various cultures. Making friends from other countries and cultures can change the way we view the world.

What is the importance of friendship in different cultures?

Having new friends from other countries and cultures promotes multiculturalism. It makes us understand how other parts of the world are and see the differences and similarities between our country and other countries. And many times we learn to be more receptive and more aware of the characteristics of others.

When we make friends with people from different cultural backgrounds we also learn about the other cultures and their traditions. There are many things in the culture of other countries that are completely different from ours. And sometimes we can see problems in other countries that don’t always happen in ours. We get to know the culture better and many more aspects about other countries.

What is Friendship?

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people marked by feelings of care, respect, admiration, concern and love.
