Yes, but I must admit when I was an adolescent world news and contemporary events meant nothing to me. I know now that it was very important for my life in the future. If I knew then what I know now I would have paid more attention to world events. It's important for you to keep up on world events, but you won't realize or understand why until you're much older. What's happening in the Middle East now is affecting your life in the future whether you believe it or not. You should understand now what's going on over there so when it's all over you'll know why it all happened.

yes, everyone should know whats going on in the world, im 17 and i watch the news every night that i dont have too much home work. ignorce doesnt need to spread any further than it already has. its important for teens to get a view of the real world and have his/her own opinion and not just take their friends views.

I think they should be informed so they know whats going on in this world. Second it would be nice if they could discuss current events with there teacher or someone else. i do think its important, they need to be informed. They have opinions also and the only way we can respect them is if they are knowledgeable.

I think it's important.
1) People can learn from past mistakes and think about ways to solve these problems in the news so when they get older, they can help solve the problems.
2) People will know exactly who to vote for and we will have well informed and educated voters who know what's going on and why they will vote for someone.

Definitely.... but how are you going to persuade MTV to show it?!
The news has never been more live and immediate than it is now, so there should be no excuses about 'old news'.
Plus, when you get sent off to invade another country, you might be in with a chance of at least knowing where it is!

The future is theirs. They will be there longer than most of us.
being literate on the things in the world. It is culture to be able to talk about something that has been discovered in France or the lastes thing that has happened in London

Yes
1-Because it makes them more educated about events that are happening around the world, and not just their own town or city
and
2-It teaches you to be appreciative of what you have...because in many other places around the world life isn't so easy...

yes
1) so they know what to expect for future instances that occur during the world and
2) so that what they learn from the news is a plus so they don't learn to repeat the same mistakes as the leaders of the earlier times had.
G'Luck with your survery!

it's important for everyone (not just teens) to be aware of the world around them and beyond
it's definately helpful to read, watch and learn current events as a means of sharpening your wit and knowledge.
