no.. but they should respect the laws of the new country and make an effort to understand the culture/s of the new country.
I love it that Australia is this fantastic land of multiculturalism. You can go to one home and be treated to the wonderful tastes, smells and sounds of the Persian culture and right next door you could find a family sitting around a picnic table having a BBQ playing Barnes flat out on the stereo and drinking beer, and then beside them you could find the wonderful sights, sounds and tastes of Egypt... What a wonderland we live in....
I have travelled throughout Australia and visited Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, been good friends with a delightful Persian woman, worked shoulder to shoulder with lively italian farmers, and spent a month one day at Mt Isa Rodeo....
I would hate for all the cultures to melt into one.... that would would be nothing short of a tragic loss...

As much as is possible, You don't have to lose morality as some would have you believe, as with most countries there are laws that apply throughout the world. Why relocate if you don't want some difference to your present life?

Yes, but not to the extent they lose their own customs if they wish to remember them. One can maintain their homeland way of life but effort ought to made not to 'jam' any of the home lifestyle on anyone. Language and food are good examples. Language is almost always a sore spot with most natives - if you live here, speak my country's language. As for food, trying something different is usually good. It's one thing to share and educate and quite another to pound it into the heads of others! Especially if you have obtained a 'new' freedom to do that.

yes, but to what extent is the real question...
if it means to forego all your beliefs, then no.. but those ways of life that you're born with should be limited to your own home - not something that you should try and impose on otehrs around you.
i would say, it should be a 50-50 balance.. take the best living practices of both and adopt them!

They should at least accept that they are in another country and learn about whats different (if any). Then they should respect that. Johan.
