Culture has a great impact on individual performance and is formed by language, beliefs and society that are specific to the environment. Some people argue that individual cultural identity is influenced by the culture of the country where one was born and grew up. While others believe that the origin has less impact on a person’s cultural identity.
An individual’s culture can be defined by one’s country of origin because we are very susceptible to the environment we live in. The culture in which one is born and brought up forms one’s cultural identity. A study shows that once an individual acquires a sense of cultural identity, it becomes a rigid part of their identity, and stays the same throughout their life course. It is feasible to believe that an individual’s culture is defined by the country of their origin. Individuals easily accept things from the target environment where he/she lives in. For example, in nation people capture the traditions, beliefs, and language easily and do not need to learn special because from origin they are liable to accept the environment. On the other hand, there are many reasons to agree with the second view. First of all, for many visitors, it is difficult to follow the culture of that country because that would be different from their own culture and in some cases they may be incompatible with their beliefs. For instance, Indian who go to foreign countries may find it difficult to get the same food and taste they have in their food. In conclusion, it seems that both points have their own advantages and disadvantages. But I think that a balanced exchange of culture and behaviours will benefit both countries and individuals. Also, this may have a positive impact on the economy of both countries.
