for people to be aware of the situation outside in case something bad happens. for example, if an accident happens when landing, you will see if there is an fire before openning the exit door or jumping into the flames.

I fly 2-3 times a month throughout the U.S. and at times out of the country and have never heard of this. I've never been told to open or close the shades during landing/takeoff or any other time - if it's daytime and the plane has an overhead movie screen we are asked to close the shade for clearer viewing - but it's only a suggestion from the flight attendant. :)

In case there is an "issue"-you don't want to be in the dark if the lighting fails and you might want to see where the huge flames or rescue crews are outside!

This is not something that I have ever heard of... and I have been employed by an airline for several years. Guess it depends on the airline.
