In my experience, reading about culture and experiencing culture are completely different. The best way with most things is first hand experience. Socialize with people of said culture, maybe share a meal or a drink. It definitely gives people a different outlook.
If that answers the question.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force them to drink.
Give them the information, let them make the decision. If you force it, the odds are you will only get resentment....

You really can't. They either will or they won't. Some people are open to new ideas, new cultures, new experiences. Others are set in their ways and have their baggage and don't want to drop it.

Agree, especially for those over a certain age. You still might be able to turn around an 18 year old, but good luck with those of us well past 40.
