What’s more, media influence causes people to travel. People often want to immerse into the atmosphere of their favourite book, movie, or TV-program. It excites them to engage in their most-liked characters’ life, walk where they might have been walking, and visit the same places. Besides, a variety of films and programs tells about life abroad. When you watch them, you think they lead an ideal life. And a lot of tours allow you to see places from a film set or the place where the author of your best-loved book was writing it. As for me, I like the program "Heads and tails". The hosts of this program travel around the world and tell about different countries, their advantages and disadvantages. This colourful show of journeys helps people who want to travel. Books, films, different TV-programs, and other kinds of media (magazines, Internet sources, radio) inspire us to

    In the words of John Steinbeck, a famous author known for writing about social and economic issues “A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip: a trip takes us”. Many famous people include the “what” about journeys, but many don’t include the “why”. The objective of a journey is to change or teach something about the character’s morals, connections between people or about the Earth. Some famous examples of these teachings include The Odyssey by Homer, The Good Soldiers by David Finkel and The Cruelest Journey: 600 Miles to Timbuktu a travel narrative by Kira Salak.

    There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.

    The answer to these questions can only be answered by ourselves. But sometimes, we can figure out why other people go on quests and what they learn from them by reading their own story.

    For example, Sasse views travel as, “...an opportunity to help our kids to get out of their comfort zones, learn to see different social and economic arrangements.” (Sasse 18). Ben Sasse views travel simply as a way to get out of one’s own bubble to learn about the various living situations that people, even a neighborhood away, experience. Therefore, although traveling is not the only way for a kid to be made aware of the different circumstances that people around the world experience on a daily basis, it is one of the most effective ways as they will be able to experience them firsthand. This sentiment holds true in my own life as well as for many others.

  • Analysis Of A Small Place By Jamaica Kincaid

    Many people who take trips to other countries use it to escape the boredom of their own life and to have fun in another country. Taking vacations can provide excitement when heading to different locales, give a person the tastes and sights of a new place, and overall provide a sense of pleasure to a tourist. However, there is an aspect of this that many tourists do not get to see. In her essay A Small Place, author Jamaica Kincaid makes this aspect very clear. Kincaid, along with many other natives of foreign islands, believes that tourists are “ugly human being[s]” who seemingly feed off the boredom and desperation of the natives of a certain place, creating a source of pleasure for themselves (Kincaid 262).
