what we now live is a considerably complex era. global warming, fierce confliction between nations and lots of other problems happen every day. thus, there is a debate about whether if we should know events happening around the world, even if it unlikely have some influence in our daily life. from my personal perspective, the answer is yes. we do need to care about the current affairs around the world in this information explosion and rapidly developed society. they will benefit us.environmental problem maybe the most important events that people care about. now in China, almost each city are full of haze with terrible air to breathe. therefore, a growing number of people have respiratory disease. and doctors have made their effort to treat the patients, but the number has always been increasing with a surprising rate. government have announced that they would take some policies to deal with it, but in vain. so considering about people's own interest, we must know how the things going and what we should do to prevent ourselves. like me, this term, i start to go to gym to exercise so that i can have a better health and cam prevent bacteria from attacking me. some other events however, like the confliction between nations such as Russia and Ukraine have no direct influence on us. so someone may think: that is nothing to do with me. peace or war, who cares? but i don't think so. if the two nations go to war. it must break the balance now in the world. the position of China is sensitive and important, then the war must influence our motherland. so if China take part in the war, what should we do? even though we cannot change the government's decision, but we can influence the authority. in the past, i don't like discussing this kind of events at all, but now, i like watching news about current affairs like national policy, relationships between countries or economy. what is more, i have my own opinion about them. i can discuss even debate with my father. that's a great improvement for me.even though you think some events have nothing to do with your life. it does no harm to you. you can learn from them and broad your horizon, know about the world situation and improve your quality. think about that, when someone talk to you about something happened these days, you have a outstanding view to express. they will think you are an interesting man and make friends with you. so what do you feel as other's idol? so go to care about events that happen around the world. that will benefit you.
