Science can become a powerful weapon if

countries

use it wisely. Some people think that it is good to share the

information

to

research

, whereas some people believe that some

information

is too important or too valuable to be shared freely. In my opinion,

although

sharing

information

can benefit our society, it is a waste of budget for some

countries

.

First

of all, if all of the

countries

need to share their scientific

research

, other

countries

would choose to wait for the

information

.

This

means that the level of scientific

research

will decelerate since they can just wait for free

information

shared by other

countries

.

For example

, if a

country

can get the latest medicine which can cure Covid-19,

then

why that

country

would spend

by themselves.

Moreover

, if

then

the method of producing nuclear weapons would

be shared equally. To be specific, all

the

countries

would own nuclear weapons.

Therefore

,

this

might cause a disaster to our earth if there is a regional conflict or even a global conflict between

countries

. Once the

country

decides to bombard these weapons, it would cause a catastrophe to people, lands, and water.

Last

would lose their competence at the same time.

Furthermore

, if the main

country

decides not to share the

information

freely, other

countries

would be restricted by the main

country

.

For instance

, since most of the counties in Africa need financial
