   With the more active international exchange and increase of the number of people who live in foreign countries, we are forced to consider how to keep good relationship with foreign people.  Conflicts caused by cultural difference is one of tough problems we have to overcome for keeping amicable relationship. 
  
  Completely following other countryfs culture is the best way to prevent us from involved in cultural conflicts with the nation of the country which we would live.  People in the country will accept us more easily than we show cultural difference by  performing our native cultural life style.  We can learn about the foreign country rapidly and profoundly.  Living in the country is the best way to learn about its culture such as its history, language, artistic things and peoplefs way of thinking .  However refraining from performing our native cultural life style is so stressful that we cannot stay for a long time without touching on our native culture.  It is because most of people are born and brought up in a country and have become used to living  in the country which has unique culture and have fundamental preference of things and establish the way of thinking based on its culture.  Thus, sudden change of our preference with that of living place will become heavy burden on our mind.
  
  Sticking to our native culture is on the other hand might be less stressful.  It is partially true.  However forcing our native cultural things like our opinion, and our countryfs traditional life style also become stressful for the countryfs people.   Ignoring the culture of the foreign country I would live does only contempt the residence but also lose us the precious chance to learn the culture of country.  Aggravation of the relationship with the people caused by mental conflict with them makes our stay will irritating and boring.  In this case, we cannot continue to have long stay.     
 
 With these analysis of these extreme of reaction to foreign culture, I have to conclude that neglecting or ignoring either our culture or the countryfs culture prevent us from establishing successful relationship with foreigners.  Thus, we need to respect the culture of the country as well as try to make our own culture understood and accepted to some extend with explaining our countryfs history, way of thinking and so on.  Introducing our country will be helpful for our mutual understanding and for reducing serious misunderstand with each other .
