It is important to be concerned about international events, even if those events have no direct impact on our lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
There are many international issues being happened every day, and people around the world are concerned about issues although these are not related to their lives directly. I firmly believed that it is essential for citizens have attention on global issues nowadays.
To begin with, many people believe that we should help our global neighbours who appeal for aid. This is because the world has sometimes damaged by natural disasters, conflicts, terrors and so on, and citizens in damaged countries lose their workplaces, homes, and are threatened to survive. Sometimes, these countries might be destroyed to not overcome damages by themselves. For example, Haiti in South America had damaged by a huge earthquake, so a number of Haitian was dead and lost their habitations. To help citizens in Haiti, people in the world delivered resources, donated financial assets and even volunteered as medical staffs. All of countries might face these similar issues so they have to help global neighbours to overcome difficulties.
In addition, the governments and citizens in the world can give and take advice for how to deal with political or social issues. This is because many nations in the world have similar conflicts in societies nowadays, such as the wealth gap, race and sex discrimination, inequality and so on. For instance, the world has divergent opinions about taking refugees. Also, it is commonly known that some countries in Europe have suffered from conflicts between residents and refugees. However, other continental citizens know that their societies may face similar social issues in the near future. Thus, the governments could prepare appropriate suggestions or policies to prevent social conflicts with considering of countries’ situations. It is clear that people can learn better ideas or policies for their own countries.
In conclusion, it is clear that citizens in the world have to cooperate together since all nations face common natural disasters, political and social issues. Thus, when people have attention to international event, they could support each other or follow better policies as precedents.
