Thanks a lot for your precious comments. :)
Well, to be open to other cultures, we need at least to have lived in two different cultures, or have parents with different languages/culture and even if you can speak two or more languages.
When you lived in two different cultures, you lose your "roots" and you will never have it anymore.
But this makes you a person that will feel less stressed when contacting other cultures.
I found out this because one day one friend asked me what was the solution for a more peaceful world and after thinking for 2 years I got the answer.
If everybody born in this world could have a non-violent family and environment and the solution is to live more than 6 years in a different culture during his/her youth this will reduce in large scale the violence in the world.
People that lose their "roots" in this process, will be much more open to accept other cultures and avoid the conflictual shock of facing different values.

Yes, diving into other cultures has a profound effect on the expansion of one's Awareness. So many misunderstandings and aggression between different cultures are spread and seeded by word of mouth which people adopt without having had the practical experience. As you say 'losing one's roots', this is an important step to look beyond and through superficial values, and instead get a glimpse into a deeper bond which connects all of us. ;)
Thanks for your dedicated reply!
