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.
Nowadays,
access
to information
plays a key role in the world’s progress
. Some people think that scientific, academic, and business information
should be more accessible freely. However
, other individuals believe that too important information
should not be accessible easily. In my opinion, free sharing of information
can make significant progress
, although
there are many data
that should not share freely due to their importance to the governments
.
On the one hand, free access
to information
causes promotion and development in different aspects of any country. In other words
, if scientists, engineers, doctors, and economists can easily access
previous data
, resulting from previous research, they have an easy way to progress
in their study, and even continue and complete the previous analyses. For example
, students in Iran can start or continue different scientific fields, such
as economic, medical, and engineering topics only with free access
to related information
in other abroad universities. Moreover
, free access
to data
makes a worldwide network of information
. In other words
, any country, from underdeveloped to industrial and developed countries
, can equally access
different data
. So, it causes worldwide progress
on various scales. For example
, some African countries
with poor medical conditions can enhance their medical science only by accessing and using medical knowledge from European countries
, which are known as developed countries
.
On the other hand
, however
, free access
to different data
has many benefits, there are some reasons that make it restrictive about sharing freely data
. Firstly
, some information
is essential for the governments
because they are related to their national security. For example
, military information
about a country or the data
about how the construction of military equipment. Secondly
, some research is extracted after spending much time and high cost on theirs. they have the economic aspect for the governments
and are the resource of revenue. So, these are too important for the governments
. To exemplify it, Germany could produce the Covid-19 vaccine, but they did not release information
about how to construct it.
In conclusion, although
free access
to data
can be effective in different fields of engineering, medicine, and business, there is some information
that has national importance and should not share freely.Submitted by moradkhanighane on
