It's important to know the events that are happening around the world even if they are unlikely affect your daily life ? |
In modern days, we can easily access to information about various events that are occurring around the world through searching on the web or reading a newspaper which is updated everyday. Sometimes it doesn't seem to be relevant to our life in that its event does not has a significant influence on our life as soon as it happened. Of course, it can't be said that it is related to our life directly. However, it is necessary that we should have a great interest in those events for following 2 reasons. First of all, knowing what is happening around our earth is one of the best way to figure out our future. Unlike the past when people's life was not influenced by events in other countries, we are living in a society where our life is dramatically affected by how whole world's current trend is changing. For example, one of my friends, who is fashion designer , always watches various fashion shows held in other countries such as America or Italy leading fashion industry in the world because there is tendency that fashion trend once popular one years ago in those countries tend to get famous from people in korea next year. According to a research conducted by Korea University, more than 80% of CEO responded that they always read a newspaper to predict world market's current. Of course, some people say that it is meaningless to expect our future since our society is changing so rapidly. However, it is better to try to figure what is going on this world than to ignore events in this world. Second, the events happening in another world are more likely to occur in our country or even to me. No matter how far those events are from my country, we should not ignore the possibility of those accident occurring in our life later because everything is connected to each other. For example, korea's stock price is well known to be decided or influenced by America stock since korea's economy is largely dependant on America. Therefore, if the price of stock in America dramatically decreased, our own also goes down so fast. Futhermore, the famous futurist Elbin Toefler claimed that more than 85% of the events happening in some countries are going to happen directly or indirectly in another country. To sum up, collecting the latest information about events in the world would be helpful for us to foresee our future and have some time to prepare for it's change. However, if we neglect on figuring out how our world is changing because of its invisible affect in front of us, we will lose lots of benefits and fall behind in competition. |
