QUESTION 1 Travel is said to increase cultural understanding. When you travel a lot and come across peoples from different cultures your ability to accept their ideas increases. This is because of many reasons. ● First of all when you become surrounded by people that act differently from what you normally see in your culture it helps you to reflect more and understand the reasons behind these acts. QUESTION 1 Traveling also allows you to develop a sense of empathy. This is because you put yourself in the other person's place and see how he feels about his culture, and what it teaches them.
