It is important to be concerned about international events, even if those events have no direct impact on our lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is widely believed that people do not necessarily need to pay attention to international
events
unless they have direct impacts on them.
However
, in my opinion, it is significant to be aware of
events
happening around the globe because we can still have indirect effects and we can come up with reliable measures when we are faced with similar issues.
To begin
with, even indirect implications from other
countries
'
events
can engender pernicious outcomes.
For example
, due to careless and reckless economic development by advanced
countries
, developing
countries
are now faced with climate change. Even though efforts to develop economies have no direct effects on other
countries
, their indirect implication is fatal: the threat to the humanity on earth.
As a result
, people around the globe are struggling with unprecedentedly high sea levels, extreme heat or cold, or depletion of the ozone layer.
This
climate change issue clearly represents how indirect effects can have lethal results on people in other
countries
. On top of
this
, by taking heed to international
events
, we can come up with reliable policies to deal with our own issues.
For instance
, when we witnessed how the United States and European
countries
coped with the Covid-19, we could learn lessons from them and were able to remove unsuccessful measures. As a consequence, we were successfully able to prevent significant virus spread into our communities around Australia.
This
example shows us why it is so important to pay attention to international
events
even though it does not have direct ramifications. To sum up, it is very important to be concerned about
events
occurring around the world as we can still have indirect but pernicious implications and
also
as we can come up with practical solutions to our own problems by learning from other
countries
' practices.
