No. I'd like to think we've moved beyond that level of societal behaviour. We understand a lot more about other cultures today, and realise that all cultures have many things they can share and offer each other. Alternative foods is a good example as well as energy production. The underlining message being that we can learn from each other.

Thats a very broad question. If by reject you mean completely and totally reject their culture against their will then no of course they shouldnt.
However if people move into areas (geographical and/or cultural) where other cultures prevail then it doesnt hurt to take some aspects of those cultures onboard, if you wish.
A refusal to take some aspects of other sultures onboard can also been seen as disrespectful (refusing to learn the langauge of a new adopted country for example), and then of course there are some cultures where you may have little choice but to adapt to societys norms (a western woman moving to Saudia Arabia perhaps).
So thats a broad question you asked, but all things being equal the answer is no.

Nobody should be forced to, but if you make the decision to go live in another country and leave your culture behind, that was your choice, you were not forced. If you do not want be part of the new culture then go back home to yours.

ask any Iraqi if they want to be "westernized" or Americanized.. who gave Bush the right to try to create a little america there.. Sure maybe Saddam was bad, but they have their age old biblical culture which has worked for 3000 or more years.. They certainly dont want to change now..

this does depend on where you are talking about...for instance I live in the USA but am not from here BUT as I came here by choice them I can hardly expect everyone around me to start celebrating Guy Fawkes Night or Boxing Day etc etc.......just cos those days mean something to me, but I just go about my business on the days that you celebrate that truly do not mean anything to me...............

no, no one should be "forced" to do anything against their will.
