  Last but certainly not least, the ability to visit the past would mean that the world's
 largest, unprecedented mysteries could be solved, the ones that seem impossible to put a   country, we learn that

 to witness the birth of the Earth, or solve the case on the dinosaurs' extinction? What about   national peace

                                  if we learn about different cultures?





                       Our country is like an orchestra, with different instruments string together, harmonising
               the whole piece of music. It has a variety of textures and tones but they intertwine each other
               gracefully, creating a lush sounding symphony.  Even though there could be some jarring
               times where people clash with others, we can still make a difference by learning about
               different cultures. National peace can only be built when the foundation of peace is firm
               and unshaken. By that, we should cement our beliefs that learning about different cultures
               is imperative to achieving national peace.



                       When we learn about different cultures, we can develop our willingness to learn
               about others. When we come across something that is different from what we are used to
               seeing, our initial response to that is feeling strange or uneasy, sometimes even alarmed. If
               we get around that feeling and start to understand it, we are making an effort to learn and
               tolerate other cultures. Living in a multi-racial country, it is not uncommon to experience
               culture shock while learning about other cultures’ quirks. Keep in mind that we should not
               interfere in their way of living, and instead of just tolerating them, we should celebrate our
               differences. We are living in a country of rich cultures; not only will it be easier for us to be
               happy for others but the luminosity of having the willingness to learn can shine through.
