Foreign students come from different parts of the world to the universities to gain their education. Most of the international students change their names to English or Western names.
In their opinion, they think that changing their real names is very fair due to which they are easy for others to remember, able to make English friends and have access to many opportunities. e.g., they can get job interviews easily. Some of the students in their own countries are asked or forced to change their real names so that the instructors are able to pronounce their names clearly and easy to remember their names.
But in my opinion, I think changing your real name to an English name is unfair. If you retain your real name, people will know you better. People would be able to know about different cultures. Most of the people are fond of knowing different cultures. So if you retain your real name, you would be recognized and would have a chance to meet new friends. Secondly, instead of changing the full name, you can make it short. e.g., Tameem = Tam but do not change the full name as our name comes from our culture and our grandparents. It is true too that some of the names are too difficult to pronounce but instead of changing the full name it is better to change the spelling of the name so that it is easier to pronounce.
If you change your real name to an English name, it is not 100% guaranteed that you will get the job. There are many students and employees from different parts of the world working in Canada with their real names.

ReplyDeleteThank You!
ReplyDeleteIm tend to agree ur opinion. We can learn more culture from others about different names. However, some names especially Chinese names r quite dard to pronounce. So English name is necessary, more or less :)
ReplyDeletei can agree with your opinion, but not totally agree with you because we have different thinking. In my oppinion, if you think it is necessary to change your name, just change it.
ReplyDeleteanyway, your writing is perfect.
