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

These days, there is a lot of
information
around our life and all over the world. For sure, some of them are really useful but others could be very harmful so we would better not to know.
For instance
, the rotten governments’ secrets, something that can cause disaster in one country and so on. In
this
essay, I would like to discuss both kinds of
information
. On the one hand, there is something we should know.
For example
, COVID-19, which is a
virus
that can bring
people
disease to their lung is a serious problem all around the world.
This
virus
is spreading so fast through

human saliva and makes a person ill. Tons of
people
already died because of the
virus
and
also
dying now. In
this
situation, we have to know the path of the person who is infected to prevent more infection.
Therefore
the government should let citizen know where they visited and make
people
who contacted them get tested.
On the other hand
, there is
also
so much
information
that we don’t need to know.
For instance
, something private,
such
as infectee’s name, age or where they live. Because these are not really important to stop the spreading
virus
. If the government reveal all these personal
information
, many other citizens could be scared or put infected
people
in danger. In conclusion, of course, we have a curiosity about things that happen in our country or in the world and
also
we have the right to know.
However
, sometimes, it is not healthy for us to know everything.
In addition
, we got to learn how to distinguish what is useful and what is useless.
