There are some people who steer clear of the v}orld and keep to themselves. Indeed apaucity of them may wrap up their self-desired recluse with some admirableattainment, as evidenced by John Nash whose self-absorption into his own businesswitnessed his success. However, for the rest of them, the ones toeing the line ofmediocrity, cannot afford the absence of world affairs. Hence, it is plausible to arguethat people needs to keep them informed of the world events, regardless of thelikelihood of any influence thereof. My stance can be substantiated by the argumentsas follows. Being aware of the world events can serve to better prepare people to deal withpersonal life. Consisted of social beings who are gregarious, the society, on the farstretch of pacific rim or in the clan off beaten track, is inextricably entangled. This is ascenario that can be readily attested by butterfly effect. Therefore, every person willbe influenced by matters happening around or even beyond the proximity of his life.Only by equipping himself with a certain amount of knowledge of world events canone acquire a relative higher perspective in deciding what to do with his personalaffairs.Apart from the intricate effect of world events on our personal life, the otherdimension that the awareness of the world event would add to us is thecommunicative effect. For a person only with a shattering knowledge of matters of hisimmediate surroundings, he would encounter the difficulties in communication for histendency of render the conversation monotonous. Had he known something ofeverything, he could lighten up the verbal exchanges with others with particularinformation that caters to the particular interests of particular person.With the points mentioned above, one can never emphasize the significance ofknowledge of world affairs too much. As the saying goes that something is better thannothing, it is highly recommended to keep us informed.
