Information
abounds in many
fields
such
as scientific research, business and the academic
world
. Some believe that
information
from these
fields
should be made readily available to all, whereas others believe that
such
essential
information
should be held back from the masses. I strongly agree with the former school of thought.
This
essay will discuss the two views and zoom into why the former view holds true.
Firstly
, the
world
of scientific research, business and academia have so much to offer. A lot of studies are undertaken in these
fields
and new outcomes are available with each passing day. Some people

therefore
believe that it only makes sense that once acquired,
information
from these
fields
should be disseminated to the masses in order to improve their quality of life.
On the other hand
, others believe that some
information
should be the preserve of the experts that belong to the stated
fields
.
This
is because their careers are based solely on
this
specialized
information
and their relevance would be lost if they let out some vital secrets of the trade. In my view, the former argument is stronger.
In today's
world
, it is very easy for anyone to log onto the internet to retrieve
information
on any topic at all. It would
therefore
be an arduous yet fruitless task to try and hide some seemingly valuable
information
from the general public. It may seem as though an expert's relevance may be lost in that case, but
this
could not be
further
from the truth. There are very few people who can be the jack of all trades and master of them all. People may be privy to the deepest secrets of these
fields
but they would still need the input of an expert to fully comprehend the content they have been gifted with.
For example
, there is a plethora of knowledge on researches on diseases and their remedies on the internet
such
that one would expect to see few to no patients in any hospital.
However
, the hospital is always buzzing with clients as knowledge on the subject matter is never equal to expertise.
Moreover
, no matter how well educated any parent is, it is a rare case to see them educate their children to the highest level of education without help from the academic
world
.
In conclusion, though there may be fears that sharing vital
information
in one's field may render experts irrelevant, these fears are unfounded as many individuals still require the understanding of experts of the
fields
of scientific research, business and academia. Without them, the data obtained from whichever source may just be gibberish to the layman.
