Events in the world can have a powerful impact on people’s emotions, particularly when they occur in places far away. In some cases, these global events can make the world seem less safe and secure, leading to feelings of anxiety, concern, sadness or anger. Using a few tips you can adjust your relationship to the news and reduce its impact on you and your students.
The phenomenon of globalisation has created global events as a natural by-product. These global events can include pandemics, climate change and natural disasters. While there is a great deal of truth in the statement that globalisation and global events impact all places, it is important to recognise that the severity of this impact varies across different locations.
Globalisation has provided the optimum conditions for the spread of outbreaks such as pandemics. This is evident from the way that the Plague of Justinian moved along trade routes, killing communities across Africa, Asia and Europe.
This is also evident in the more recent pandemics such as the Black Death and COVID-19. The widespread media coverage of these pandemics has allowed people to better understand the scale of the crisis, but these events are still affecting all parts of the world.
Another global event that occurs regularly is the eruption of a volcano. These events can have a massive impact on the economy of a country. This is because of the huge number of tourists that come to see these events. This can result in the development of new roads and play stadiums that are crucial for boosting the local economy. However, these events can have their downsides too especially if they are associated with criminal activities. This can make the event to lose popularity among the people hence making it less profitable.
