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 valuable or too important to be shared freely. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is often argued that in scientific the corporate and academic world, sharing
information
is good while others think the
information
is too important to be shared freely. In my opinion,
this
essay would agree with the notion that sharing valuable
information
freely is essential
To begin
with, useful
information
shared among people had been proven to improve research, business and academics.
For instance
, research done by doctors about a particular disease condition can help in the long term treatment of
this
condition which could
consequently
reduce the mortality rate of the disease. It is
therefore
important to note that without sharing adequate
information
, the effective management of the disease condition would not be possible.
Although
, it is often suggested that some
information
is too important to be shared as the innovators of these ideas are not given credit for their work, I believe that the societal rather than personal benefits should be considered.
For example
, an individual trying to develop a business idea shouldn't only think of the profit he would make presently but
also
the long term benefit of
such
an idea.
This
would limit the selfish thinking of people and stimulate more innovations and ideas, which could result in an increase in productivity in the society at large. In conclusion, despite some popular beliefs that some ideas shouldn't be shared freely in the research,corporate or educational sector,
this
essay has proven that imperative that the societal rather than personal rewards be greatly considered.Sharing of adequate
information
could result in increased productivity and advancement in the society as a whole
