The news
I chose was about the U.S. deployment of special operations forces to Syria. But
I could not understand the whole news because of my poor English comprehension
skill and background knowledge. So, summing up the content of this news simply
as far as I could understand, it is like following.
The United States is going to send forces to Syria
to support revels against Islamic State. U.S. officials are
insisting that American forces are not going to fight at the forefront, so they
would not be exposed to danger. However, everyone knows that there is no saying
there would be no danger and some person says that this scheme would not
succeed and not make situation in Middle East better as long as there is no
consistent and firm plan.
Though it is not related to this news itself,
I thought when I read some article in English, not only English reading skills
but also background knowledge is very necessary. Language is different from
country to country or from nation to nation, however, knowledge is common all
over the world.
I had a question that why the United States was
always involved in almost all major war. I knew that the U.S was said like the
police of the world, but I did not know why. So I searched about this.
In the first time of American history, it had
taken a policy not to interfere with other countries. However, thorough the
First World War and the Second World War, the U.K. defeated and there was no
country other than the U.S. which could lead world politics. And many European countries
were thinking the U.S. could prevent communism to spread and wanted the U.S. to
have relations with them. In this way, the U.S. was becoming to have big power
in the world. It is kind of duty of the U.S. to interfere with many issues.
However, recently president Obama said the
U.S. was not any more the police of the world. It means America will give up
world issues. If it will be really so, the balance of the world would collapse.
Anyway, I want to and have to be able to have
more deep thought and opinion about world news. So I should be more careful
about what is occurring in the world. I will use time to check news instead of
twitter, instagram or other SNS.
