In recent times, we can observe that globalization is at its peak;
so
keeping updates of our
own
surroundings
as well
as at the international level is becoming a need.
Many
people perceive that teaching
current
affairs to high school pupils is wastage of their time; whereas, another group of people supports this notion. In my opinion,
students
must
be aware of and know the importance of happenings in the
world
at the present time in a way
that is
not harmful to them.

Firstly
, learning international affairs at high school level will develop an interest at the young age in
students
,
so
that they can decide if they want to pursue their career in this field or not?
Secondly
,
being informed
with the
current
situation of the
world
; they might take steps at a smaller scale to
reduce
the particular issue.
For example
, global warming is an issue of great importance;
students
can create awareness campaigns in their schools, family, communities etc.
,
to plant more and more trees in their surroundings. When the subject and its content is
properly
reviewed and taught by the tutors; it can have a
positive
influence on the students.

On the other hand
,
many
people do not support the
idea
of teaching global news at the secondary level. According to them,
students
are already burdened; as modern education is getting tougher day by day, due to the competitive environment.
Furthermore
, exposing
students
at an early stage to the harsh and brutal news can impact their thinking and can create a
negative
image of the
world
.
Rather
than revealing the news which is not 100% authentic and has detrimental effects,
students
should
be encouraged
in activities which
helps
them in their education. The news channels most of the times will run any information for the rating without analyzing its effects on society.

To conclude
, in
today
’s modern era where technology and social media has taken over the source of information, teachers should teach in such relevant manner that it’s helpful and has a
positive
impact on
students
.
