Now days, the
information is one of the most valuable property in everywhere. As many people
already put it, knowledge is power. The people who know a lot, get money,
reputation and so to speak, power. When
it comes to importance of information, we must also talk about ongoing
discussions about piracy laws and patents which are the proves of big influence
to the society. Of course, as these kinds of laws already prove it, we should
respect the somebody’s endeavors and hardships to achieve some kind of
information. However, even though I agree with the concept of intellectual
property, I don’t want people to stick to it so desperately. I understand that
we have no other ways but to do so in the world ruled by market system. But personally,
I think knowledge, thoughts and ideas only can grow while we sharing it.
Knowledge is just like a child so they cannot grow bigger if we just put them
inside and cherish. We should boast of it and try to show to others.
Strictly speaking, we are all misunderstanding the nature of knowledge
fundamentally, based on our learning from capitalism. So summarizing
my opinions. I agree with both arguments, the importance of information and
sharing it. But I regard the sharing of information has much more values when
it comes to growth of society.
