Studies Abroad – ‘Pros'perity of the Posterity

As the title indicates, this essay vindicate on the ‘pros' of the studies abroad. Now-a-days, the youth is gong abroad for studies or for employment of for some other thing with an ease of crossing the threshold. This trend is the outcome of globalization.

 

To go abroad for studies is not an easy job. It has its own difficulties and implications like to get through the tests and examinations of international standards, to get pass-port and other allied documents, to hold a fairly boisterous amount in the account and like that. It is all one sided; on the other side, many encouraging details are there to promote the youth for ‘studies abroad', besides a lucrative and well-paid output. For instance, U S Consulate launches Community College Initiative Program, which selects the candidates and would arrange to offer them free education in one of the Community Colleges in the U.S.

In one way or the other, after getting through the eligibility for studying abroad, the real difficulties start, which are but educative and developing personality. The initial hardship is to go successfully through the accent of English language there. No doubt, the English is the global link language. But the different accents and slangs make it difficult to understand it resulting in the bad communication. This hardship is but momentary. In a short period, say one or two months, every one will be able to speak the respective accents or slangs of the language very fluently and be able to manage with the presentations and discourses in college.

 

Mingling in a social group of different languages, cultures and of different values, the candidate will certainly learn how to get on with the people of different languages, cultures and of different values. He is also exposed to a world of knowledge in not just the subjects of his study but also in other areas, especially making living happy and educative in a society of multiple languages, cultures and values.

 

Since, ‘studies abroad' invites candidates from many nations; every incumbent will have an opportunity to meet peoples from varied languages, cultures and values of varied background and learns about them. For instance, an Indian and a Pakistani may be room mates and prove themselves to be the best friends. In the process, they will learn a lot about each other's countries, languages, cultures and values even dispelling the pre-occupied perceptions if any. They learn to honor each one's country, language, culture, faith and values. Thus, a nice thing about studying in a foreign country is that one's outlook will be changed in a way of getting positive despotism.

Apart from speaking and writing skills, the ‘studies abroad' inculcate the leadership skills with an initiative to participate and organize inevitably in some activities relating to align cultures, faiths and values. Thus an over all development of compassion, coordination and co-operation germinate and thereby making a healthy individual possible.

 

No individual supremacies are exhibited due to a feeling of ‘everybody is an equal'. ‘Studies abroad' means not getting a mere foreign certificate or a diploma when stepping out of the country. It is more above.  Being the polished individuals, the individualities also get polished. Mainly concerned, a global outlook is developed paving the way to achieve the real harmony of humanity beyond all the narrow domestic walls of nationalism and regionalism. It makes the races and creeds unite globally, which the age old Upanishads, the Indian philosophic culmination idealized, ‘the vasudhaika kutumbam' – all the globe as a single family, the unison of entire globe just like the unison of entire sky.

 

In a nutshell, the ‘studies abroad' is the prosperity of the posterity in the real sense of harmonious languages, faiths, religions, cultures and values.
