Cultural immersion broadens one's perspective from "summary" of Travels with Myself and Another by Martha Gellhorn

Immersing oneself in a different culture is like stepping into a whole new world. Suddenly, everything you thought you knew is turned upside down. The way people dress, eat, speak - it's all so different from what you're used to. And yet, as strange as it may seem at first, there is something truly enlightening about experiencing a different way of life. When you immerse yourself in a foreign culture, you start to see things from a new perspective. You begin to question your own beliefs and values, and you realize that there is more than one way to live a fulfilling life. It's humbling, really, to see how diverse the world truly is. But cultural immersion is not just about broadening your perspective - it's also about deepening your understanding of the world around you. By living among people who are different from you, you start to see the common threads that connect us all. You realize that, despite our differences, we are all human beings with the same basic needs and desires. And perhaps most importantly, cultural immersion teaches you empathy. When you see the world through someone else's eyes, you can't help but feel compassion for their struggles and triumphs. You learn to appreciate the beauty of diversity and the richness it brings to our lives. In the end, cultural immersion is not just a journey to a foreign land - it's a journey into the depths of your own soul. It challenges you to confront your own biases and prejudices, and it forces you to grow in ways you never thought possible. It's a transformative experience that will stay with you long after you've returned home.
