▶ Your Answer :
Some people might think that people do not have to know about the events happening around the world, since it seems not to affect their daily life. However, in my opinion, it is important to know the events happening around the world, although it is unlikely that they have an effect on your daily life. This is because any events can affect your life directly at any times and knowing about the world events can broaden the horizon of life.
To begin with, people tend to think that events happening in opposite side of the Earth from their country is not related to their daily life. They are little interested in the events as well as never worry about them. However, nobody can be sure that some events of opposite side of the Earth never happen on their country. Actually, some of the big events have happened on lots of nations at each time. For example, in 18th century, there was a big event, French Revolution, in France. This was a kind of democratic activity. At that time, nobody in Korea that was then named Choseon Dynasty though that this could be happen in Korea. After more than 200 years, Korean people went through democratic revolutions and activities such as 4.19, 5.18 and candle protest in 2016. Korean have suffered a lot to set up democracy in this country. If Korean could learn from French Revolution that happened in opposite side of the Earth from Korea about 200 years ago, they would not needed to suffer so much as they did.
Moreover, being interested in and knowing about the world events can broaden people’s horizon of life. This is an attitude as a world citizen. It can teach people how human lives and how societies grow. By learning about social phenomenon, they can gain a variety of and broader view points. For example, 6 years ago, I have watched an documentary about the serious poverty in Africa on TV. This experience made me interested in taking care of the poor in my nation. Since then, I have volunteered more than a day a week. Had it not been for watching and knowing about the social problem that is happening in too far away from me, I would never have been interested in volunteering.
To sum up, taking potential to happen in their nations at any time and broadening people’s horizon of life into account, I totally believe that people need to know about the events happening around the world, even though it is unlikely that they affects their daily life.
