opinion essay

Is it important that people stay informed?
There are many ways for people to stay informed. You can watch news on television, you can read it in newspapers or in the internet and you can hear on the radio. I think it is very important for people to stay informed.
I think nobody should close his or her eyes from reality and what is happening in the world. Especially when there is so much war and crime in the world it is important that everyone has the possibility to get informed because than we have the chance to change something. I think there are many interesting news like local news about what is happening in your neighborhood and country, also interesting are news which concern the whole world and every person that lives on this world, like the global warming or wars and politic changes.
But I also have to say that there are information’s on television, in newspapers… which are called news turning round stars and “VIP´s” and they have in my opinion nothing to do with news. Sometimes you get information´s about fashion trends from stars or you have some topics for small-talk and so this “news” can also be interesting for some people.
I think news are also important for education, if we think of a world where are no television or internet we would know nothing what would going on and that would be dramatically. In our time everyone have the possibility to inform oneself about he or she wants and that is great.
To conclude, in my opinion it is important to stay informed, but not everything what is called news is necessary for our population.
