Some people believe that is good to share as much information as possible in scientific research, business and the academic world. Others believe that is too important to be shared freely. Discuss and give your opinion.

Nowadays information is the most valuable asset in the world market and it represents an unprecedented change in the way relations are established. On the one hand, some argue we should share it freely in order to benefit the whole community.

On the other hand

, others advocate that some data are highly sensitive and must be protected. Historically, advances in science have been related to the accumulation of knowledge and that was possible only because the results of relevant research were available for the scientific community.

For example

, in medicine it is crucial that researchers

are

aware of what kind of diseases are common in certain areas. If

this

kind of data had not been public in the past, we would not have been so successful in the medical area.

However

, it is true that not all kinds of information are equally important for the well being of society. The development of a new product

a company is mostly a private enterprise,

therefore

it must be treated differently.

Furthermore

, when investors decide to put money in a project, they expect to receive back a profit

it is necessary to protect what is being created.

For instance

, the details of a new smartphone or computer are of the utmost importance for the corporation

. In my humble opinion, the publicity of information depends on the specific area that we are discussing. When they are connected with education and health, I believe that all data should be widespread. But, private issues ought to remain secret so as to make it possible the

development of business.
