I'm a business major, so that's my focus. Other countries have great buying power, and great business opportunities for importing and exporting even direct investment. To be successful you have to be aware of how the countries' governments operate and what their cultural practices are.

I agree with all of the above.
It makes for a well rounded person.. which many americans lack.
We are a very introverted country .. and viewed as narrow minded.
This is one thing we are criticized for.
Learning about other cultures.. you learn about yourself.. as a person.. and you learn more about your own country.

I could name so many but for now I'll stick to these:
to understand and communicate better with people from all over
to discover other ways of living
to discover new customs, food, traditions...
to experience the multiplicity of people ...
to see how specific weather, economy, geography ... can shape a people
and to change yourself for the better based on this knowledge!

I think learning other cultures is one of the answers to racial tolerance and breaking the cycle of stereotyping.

Because you may have ancestors there; because there are some really great places to visit; because it's good to be educated...
Lots of reasons.
