    There are many different views about whether we should provide information as much as possible. I agree that information should be spread as far as possible.  Sharing information helps to understand things that we would like to put into practice in our daily lives more clearly.

    Knowledge, including scientific and economic, is the heritage of our common ancestors. It’s beneficial to everyone to have enough accurate information when we need to make decisions. Discoveries can correct mistakes in some fields, like biology and medicine. Due to the discovery of viruses and germs in the last century, patients are less likely to die during operations. Emerging inventions can be applied to the practice of manufacturing products, like steamed engines and electrical motors.

    On the other hand, some people aren’t in favour of making information public. These actions damage the creativity of people who cannot profit adequately from their discoveries and inventions. Apart from the side effects to the individuals, some information is crucial for the public. In national security, for example, no country shares military information, because exposing that information to the world also means a threat to itself.

    From a personal perspective, I agree that sharing information is a good thing for us. With more information, things can be objective and judgements can become more sensible. Medical departments in China were able to successfully control the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of the pandemic thanks to information given concerning doctors’ initial exposure in Wuhan, the first outbreak city.

    There are many different views about whether we should share information as often as possible. I agree that information should be shared as much as possible. [Try to avoid repeating the question by using the same words…It is not necessary to respond immediately to the question with a yes or no answer.] Sharing information helps to understand things that we would like to put into practice in our daily lives more clearly.

    Knowledge, including scientific and economic, is the heritage of beings/our common ancestor. It’s beneficial to all/everyone to have enough accurate information when we need to make decisions. Discoveries can correct mistakes in some fields, like biology and medicine. Due to the discovery of viruses and germs in the last century, patients are less likely to die during operations. Emerging inventions can be applied to the practice of manufacturing products, like steam powered and electrical machines.

    On the other hand, some people aren’t in favour/US ‘favor’…[but UK spelling is also okay as long as the usage is consistent] of making information public. These actions damage the creativity of people who cannot get/earn/make/receive enough profit from their discoveries and inventions. Apart from the side effects to the individuals, some information is crucial for the public. In national security, for example, no country shares military information, because exposing that information to the world also means a threat to itself.

    From a personal perspective, I agree that sharing information is a good thing for us. Having enough information can make things more objective, and decisions can be more rational. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical departments in China were able to control the pandemic due to information shared about doctors’ immediate exposure in Wuhan, the first outbreak city.
