Why is it important to be aware of all types of Current Events as a Christian? As a citizen? How is your daily life specifically impacted by your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, on Current Events? PLz help

Keeping up with current events lets you know what is going on around the world, and therefore lets you learn about different cultures. News stories teach you what is acceptable in some cultures and what is not. They also teach you how different daily life in other cultures can be.

Today’s students need an understanding of the world’s economy, politics, social structures, and environment in order to make the best decisions about how to live their own lives after high school and beyond. At the same time, consuming domestic news with a critical eye is vital to enhancing democracy and defeating intolerance. More than ever, an appreciation for news and our civic institutions is a key step toward self-empowerment and advancement.

The Benefits of Current Event Programs::

They cover a wide range of subjects and connect to all areas of the curriculum.

They build language, vocabulary, reading comprehension, critical thinking, problem solving, oral expression, and listening skills.

They develop into informed citizens and lifelong news readers. Studying current events helps students understand the importance of people, events, and issues in the news; it stimulates students to explore and learn more about the news, and to pay attention to the news they see and hear outside of school.

They provide a “writing model.” Students can learn by imitating the clear, concise style of news writing.

They help teachers teach media literacy skills, which are as important today as any of the three R’s.

They can open up communication between students and parents. Students are often eager to emulate their parents’ news-citing behaviors, and talking about the news is one way for parents to engage kids in adult conversation.

They offer ideal opportunities for cooperative-group instruction, classroom discussions and debates, purposeful follow-up writing, and much more.

explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”
