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.
The question of how much
information
should be shared for scientific study, business, and academic research have
sparked off an intense debate. Many believe that it is a spectacular idea to disseminate Change the verb form
has
information
as much as possible, whereas others argue that some data
seems too dangerous to be purveyed. However
, I strongly feel about sharing information
freely except in a few cases where national security
is concerned.
Proponents of sharing information
freely go on to argue that data
ought to be circulated to the full for the sake of sustaining progress. In simple words, sharing knowledge paves the way for discoveries. Covid-19 is a case in point. Many kinds of research are being conducted by scientists across the world, working in collaboration with each other so as to invent a vaccine as soon as possible. This
also
applies to the business world, which can work together to develop new products, as well as academics, who need to put new information
into previous perspectives in order to broaden their knowledge and complete new groundbreaking works.
On the contrary
, people who find sharing data
dangerous, believe that it could pose threats to state security
. They go on to argue that governments should not share classified information
, which may hamper global peace. For example
, classified documents relating to nuclear technology bring our earth to the verge of destruction if any ferocious terrorist group can access these documents. Similarly
, many companies are reluctant to share knowledge. This
is because that information
can stifle their commercial interest. For instance
, if a company discloses its product formula, then
the information
gives the rival company a competitive advantage.
In my opinion, however
, to realize its full advantage data
needs to be shared freely, otherwise
, it only benefits its keepers. To put it another way, shared information
in those fields will be stepping-stones to innovations. Therefore
, the information
should not be constrained if there is no security
concern.
In conclusion, both points of view have their merits. However
, I am of the opinion that information
sharing ought not to be restricted, unless there are overriding security
risks.Submitted by Musaib ul hassan on
