Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is important to know events happening around the world, though sometimes they are unlikely to affect your daily life. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.(04/29/07)
With the technology developed, we live in an information-explosion society. Some people claim that the more events we know the more benefit to us, others have an opposite view. As far as I concern that we should not care about everything that they are unlikely to affect our daily life.
First of all, like I mentioned before today we live in an information-explosion society, so we can access a lot of information in a day, but the energy we have is limited, so the less things we have the better we do it. Take students for example, the society we live is more competitive and advanced than before so we students have more things to learn and after school we always spend hours to do our homework and go to the bed in midnight. So we have no time and energy to care the things that unlikely to affect our daily life. If back then, we want to care all the things happened in the world, I am afraid we definitely have no time in our study. I think it is unnecessary.
Moreover, information that happened in the world sometimes is more violence and horrible such as the terrorists, suicide, kidnap and so on, I think that they have bad effect on children. A study in the university showed that the more times children exposed in the bad information the worse effect on their behaviors, because children are less sensitive to the world and they can’t judge the things in right way. Sometimes they will mimic the things that happened in the world once they heard it.
Finally, I think we can know the things happened around the world even they have no effect on our daily, but it is not important to know that, and the prerequisite is you can treat them as for fun during the leisure time. As for me, during my spare time I will surf the internet to find some funny news which make me laugh around world. Laughing can help me relax and relief the pressure from work and study, it is good for my health.
As the things mentioned above, we can know the things happened around the world, but it is not important for us. |
