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 you own opinion.

People

have two contradictive arguments about sharing

information

: share as much as possible

information

to the world, and keep some crucial

data

from free access. Both opinions have a positive and negative impact on the world and

data

owners.

Firstly

, the positive effect of sharing knowledge as much as possible generously without taking any advantage may significantly impact the improvement of academic

research

and

people

's lives.

However

, several

data

are very costly to collect, and with the limitation of the

research

budget, much

research

will be abandon and could not take a leap for a new finding and improving science and technologies.

Nevertheless

, if the

data

is available for free, researchers could utilize it as much as possible for their project or

research

.

Therefore

there will be a great development, especially in the academic aspect, to enhance human quality of life.

However

, following

this

, there will be a negative impact of sharing the

information

freely. It might cause harm in terms of privacy and confidentiality, mainly if the

data

belong to specific

people

or respondents and the

data

is too personal. The other opinion believes that some

information

is too valuable to be shared freely. The reason for

this

argument might be because it needs a considerable amount of money to collect the

data

and careful planning. The effort is too big;

therefore

, it will be wasteful and cause a disadvantage for

people

doing the

data

collection.

Thus

, they need to gain benefits because collecting

data

is not easy, and they need the money to improve their subsequent

research

or project. In my perspective, the general

data

, not detailed

data

that does not contain any personal

information

, should be available for

people

to access freely, e.g., the number of population, the proportion of something, or the location of the maps.

Nonetheless

, the

data

containing confidential

information

should not be shared, and it is not a problem and reasonable if someone wants to keep the

data

and to have the

data

, we must pay a certain of money because we have to value the effort behind the

data

.
