In Buddhism, there is a doxy claiming that the world is operated by the rule of cause
and effect, for every living organisms are connected with each other. Likewise, every creature in
this planet has been both directly and indirectly related to each other, and people never have
been an exception to that. In this sense, it is now important to know about the events that are
happening around the world, regardless of relationship between the event and the person. The
rationale behind that they cause economic effect, and the rising importance of common
knowledge in society.
To begin with, being noticed about the events of different places in world is crucial for
it can effect people financially. As most countries are sustaining their organization by trading
with other countries, it is inevitable for them to be free from the effect of those other countries.
Owing to this, events that are big enough to influence the place in either social or economic way
will ultimately cause impact to the places regardless of closeness of relationship. To illustrate,
there was economic depression in U.S due to subprime mortgage loan about several years ago.
This caused great fluctuation in the cost of the stocks in South Korea, incurring another
economic hardships in this country. This led many young people experience economic difficulties
for they had problem in being employed by the company. Considering that they had no
relationship with U.S economy, this example vividly shows the importance of knowing the events
regardless of the relationship.
Furthermore, it is critical to know about the events that happened in other parts of the
world, because of the social trend. That is, more companies are requiring their employees and
people who are willing to work for them to be noticed about those events. This is because the
amount of information about those events can help employers to determine their intellectual
inquisitiveness. In addition, having sufficient amount of common knowledge can also help
people to determine about other's ability to successfully cope with similar events that might
happen in the future. Thus, in order to fit oneself to this social trend, it has become essential for
the people to know about the events that are not related to them.
In light of all these circumstances, it is essential to have knowledge about the happenings around the world, because they can affect people financially, and knowing it is a social trend.
