Increasingly sophisticated technology, explosive information and intricate international relationships all work together to complicate our life, which makes us in a changing world. Knowing about events happening around the world, in my view, is becoming an essential ability to modern people.

First of all, it’s a good means to cope with changing situations in the world. Admittedly, some events are unlikely to affect our daily life. But they may have effect on us in the future. Taking the outbreak of the epidemic as an example, you know, the virus has killed lots of people. However, no one known that this would be a threat to all human beings in the beginning of the epidemic. It’s clear that individuals who learn more about the epidemic are less likely to be infected. Therefore, it’s irrational to conclude easily that some events have no influence on us. Only we listen to the news every day, can we handle the unstable factors in the world and protect ourselves.

Besides, it helps us to learn more about the lives of the poor over the world. Although we live a happy life, there are still lots of people under severe starvation. For instance, some of them lost their home because of wars, or have no enough food due to droughts. After knowing about their living conditions, I cast more and more concern on them. Although I can’t do great things to help them to get rid of poverty, I can help them by denoting some money and clothes. What’s more important, I begin to care about people around us, like helping the elderly with housework. Therefore, this kind of events are good resources to educate young people especially those who live with abundant food and clothes from birth.

To sum up, no one lives in an insulated environment, so no one can live without concerning events around the world.
