  2. So that we all know what is going on in other countries, whether it be good or bad, and so we know if it will affect our country and how.

  3. So we can find the funny stuff that happens in other countries and not think only embarrassing things happen here in the USA but yeah the first two were almost ok answers I guess.

  4. We need to know what's happening around the world so we're not so focused on just ourselves. We do not want to be ignorant to what is happening around us. Also, things around the world can affect us just as easy as it is affecting where it is happening.

  5. Even if something bad happens somewhere in the world it could find its way to America and harm us in a way that could have been avoided.

  6. What problems are in other parts of the world now could be a problem that we could have sometime. If we pay attention to them we would know the easiest, best, and fastest way to fix the problem.

  7. To see what the world is going to. To understand that people want independence just like us and are willing to fight for it. To also know if the country is safe or what is going on.

  9. Problems they have may become problems we have. We also need to make sure nobody needs to be sent to help a situation, or send someone when it's not necessary. Anything that is happening throughout the world could easily come our way.

  10. I think it is important to pay attention because if something is happening in Europe, it could happen to us in the long run. We kind of need to know whether anything is going on that could effect us.

  11. So that we know what things are happening in other countries because it could effect us here as well.

  12. It's not all about us. There are other countries that are affected by what happens in the U.S. and it can affect us that happens world wide as well.

  13. It is good to know what is happening in other countries because without that connection with foreign places, we would be clueless. Like what happened with the gas prices, it wasn't our country that is control of that. We depend greatly on other places other than ourselves.

  14. It's important that we pay attention to those things because they may have an indirect effect on the U.S. For example, if China were to go to war with someone, chances are, we will stop getting a lot of the things that we currently import from China.

  15. So then we can know what is going on in the world and not just in our country. Because we think stuff just happens in our country but it doesn't it happens all over the world.

  16. I think it's important to see what's going on in the world.

  17. We need to be aware of the things that are going on in other countries because it could effect our trade, which could effect or economy. If there are conflicts between different countries, we need to know what is happening so we can make sure we are on good terms with the country so they don't become violent towards us.

  18. The reason technology has progressed so much is to HELP communications, trade, and possible ways to survive in todays world. since technological advances we can look up how not to insult someone from a foreign country.

  19. There could be something happening in another area and it may effect us later.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Things that are happening to us may pertain to us now or in the future. And sometimes it isn't as exciting as a war or a prison break but it still matters in some way, shape, or form

    ReplyDelete
  21. So we know whats going on in the world.

  22. We need to be aware of what is happening around us because it can effect our economy. If there is a strange disease in Europe and we don't know about it, we wouldn't know what it was and how it started. We also want to help other countries so they don't turn on us and cause another war.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Things that happen in other countries will effect our economy if we get things from there. If something bad happens somewhere it may cost a lot more for a product that is mainly from that area.

  24. It is important because whatever is going on in a different country could put an effect on the U.S. We also need to stay updated on those type of things because it could eventually lead over into the United States.

  25. Cause it could be threatining to their country, and we could possibly help them out if we knew about it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. so we now what is happening around us and not just in front of us so we can see what is happening in other places.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think being aware of other countries helps us in a way that we are not effected by other countries problems, wether it be trade, communication, or conflict. All in all, if there is wide spread problems in the world we may encounter the same ones, and learning the problems early on we would be able to better understand and prevent them from happening.

  28. So we know whats happening in the world.

  29. it is always important to know what is going on in the other countries all over the world either it is awful or really good and when I listen to the news on my radio than I listen on my TV at home I will get some information of what is going on all over our nation.

  30. because every thing happening around us could alwas effect us in some way because of the way things work.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Just because they are occurring somewhere else doesnt mean it won't effect us. Things that happen in other countries may end up getting bigger and effecting all countries. thats why we need to know about other countries so we know if something may be coming.

  33. It is important to know what is going on around the world because what other countries do could effect the U.S. in some way, and then we would be prepared for whatever it may be.

  34. It is important to know about all the problems that happen in other countries, because they effect the U.S and other people we might benefit from.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What happens around the world could affect us. Our trade for other countries. For an example: The gas prices have went up because of that carrier getting closer and closer to that one country...(I forgot which country it was)

    ReplyDelete
  36. No matter where we are in the world problems could still effect us! For example - trade and gas prices.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Where ever we travel too, or what part of the world we're in, they are always going to be problems among us. We're going to have troubles with gas or something on that line. It will really effect us, if we don't pay attention to it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We need to pay attention to the news throughout the world because we need to pay attention whats happening around us, so the same things don't happen to us.

    ReplyDelete
  39. We need to pay attention to news around the world because if they are experiencing something devastating, we need to know so that it doesn't happen to us or so that we can prepare if it is eventually going to affect us.

    ReplyDelete
  40. We need to be aware of what's going on in other countries, because they may need our help, and we need to know what's happening other than devastating things.

  41. I think it's important to know about what happens in other countries because what happens around us also effects us, and so we will be prepared for whatever happens. It could eventually effect our economy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. We need to pay attention to news around the world so we will be prepared if anything comes our way and we can learn from the mistakes of other countries.

  43. It is very important to keep track of the stuff that is happening around the world. If something bad happens in a different country and we don't know about it we can't help them. If something happens in a different country we might be able to prevent it from happening in ours.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think it is very important that we pay attention to new that happens around the world because we could possibly help them, we could prevent a war, or we could prepare ourselves for something that is happening because it will effect us in the long run. We tend to be the hero for a lot of things already, so why not continue and keep people a little nicer towards us.

    ReplyDelete
  45. We need to know world news because if there is something that is happening to another country that is bad, we need to try to find some how to prevent it from happening to us or at least try and be ready for it.

    ReplyDelete
  46. We need to focus on news all around the world, and not just on our own news, because it has a universal effect. We may not think that all of these things that are happening in Europe, Africa, or South America could effect us, because they are so far away, but even the slightest thing could end up having a chain reaction and help or harm us here in the U.S.

  47. We need to know because things that happen in other parts of the world can directly affect us in good or bad ways.

    ReplyDelete
  48. The world is interconnected. Trade in one country affects all others, a war in one can result in the other intervening. Though we may not think of it, the rest of the world does affect us, so we need to know what is happening all around the world.

  49. because you dont know what is going on if you dont watch the news

    ReplyDelete
  50. So we know what's happening in our surrounding states and countries. Something that happened in for say Germany could be coming toward the United States and effect us worse. We need to be informed about current and old topics to keep up with the economy and politics and let's not forget sports which is huge in the United States.

  51. So we know whats going on in other states or in our country. Their could be exciting or interesting things that you should know and you wont know them unless you pay attention to the news. We need to be informed about our trade and econmy or something that we are warned for.
