What is the meaning difference between "be exposed to" and "be exposure". Especially I can't interpret the meaning of "exposed to". When and how should I use it?
I saw a sentence about it recently. It was:
It just opened up a new world to me. I'd never been exposed to other cultures, and that trip gave me my first taste of the world outside my country
Which word(s) can be used instead of exposed to?
Best Answer
Be exposed to means that someone or something is brought into contact with something else, often with the implication that the contact will cause some kind of change. For example "I want my children to be exposed to a wide variety of cultures and lifestyles", or "Workers at Chernobyl were expected to be exposed to high radiation levels".
Exposure is the state of being exposed or revealed. "Children benefit from exposure to a wide variety of cultures and lifestyles", or "Your product will benefit from wide exposure to the public".
Be exposure cannot be used in place of be exposed to or simple exposure. The only way I can think of it being used would be something like "The only thing I would have to fear would be exposure".
Alternatives for Exposed to could be:
