Why should we care about what happens in places far away from where we live in general?
Well I do tend to pay attention to these events, and care about what is happening around the world.
I think that these events affects my daily life as the impact caused by other parts of the world may cause us to suffer severely. As you should know, the recent earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan affects our economy in many ways. The tsunami destroyed countless number of homes, and caused many companies to stop production. This would cause Singapore's economy to drop as Singapore would have less overseas partners to co-operate, and thus business would turn bad. Moreover, the damaged nuclear plant in Fukoshima may cause a radioactive leak, contaminating animals and plants near the 20-30km radius from the plant. When this happens, we would not eat the contaminated food from Japan, and Singapore's import and export trade would suffer heavy losses.
This is why I tend to pay attention to these events, so as to keep myself updated and aware of the situation and events that are happening around the world.
