Unquestionably, world event can play a
significant role in people's daily lives where they work, and even recreational
activities. Some people may say that even though it is unlikely that world
event affect your daily life, knowing the event happening around the world is
important, while others do not think. Both have their own reasons to support
their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that it is crucial to
understand the world event, even though it is not likely to affect people's
daily life. This is because this can eventually have effect on people's daily
lives in a socialization and even academic achievement
To begin with, when people have a knowledge
about the world event, they can have better a academic performance. Knowing
about the event happening around the world requires people to be passionate,
diligent, and to have global mind. If people have these personal traits, they
are more likely to bring a better result in school. For example, according to a
study conducted by University of Maryland in 2010, researchers found a huge
difference between two young adult groups. One group consisted of those who
regularly watch world event news everyweek, the other group was made of those
who never watch news about the world. The researchers found that the former
group showed a higher GPA than latter by 20%. The most of first group mentioned
knowing about the world helps them in many ways, such as when writing essay.
This implies that understanding around the world can have impact on one's
college life.
Secondly, in order to socialize with people
from other country, knowing the events occurring around the world is vital in
life. In modern society, since having a friend with different background is
more important than before, people should know around the world to socialize
with them. For instance, when I was traveling with my friend in the United
States, we met a lot of people from different countries in a hostel. We usually
talked about the massive flooding in the Texas. This was because people in the
world recently were surprised at this rare phenomenon. If I did not know about
the world event, I would not have talked a lot with different people.
To sum up, I strongly believe that knowing
about the world event is vital, even though it does not affect on people life
directly for the reasons I have mentioned above. All in all, because
understanding the world can influence on socializing with other person and
college life, this cannot be overestimated in understanding world.
