Some people believe that it is good to share information - IELTS essay

IELTS SAMPLE ESSAY
CAMBRIDGE IELTS 12 TEST 5 WRITING TASK 2
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 views and give your opinion.
After the completion of the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age, and even after witnessing the industrial revolution in the last century, humankind is now living in “The Information Age”. Heated debates are common between people who suggest that knowledge related to scientific research, business, and education should be shared so that it is beneficial for the human race, and the people who are against this suggestion. I support the latter view as there are risks associated with this type of free information sharing.
Believers in spreading the knowledge free of cost have some strong arguments to present. They state that if the data of former research is available to all then it may be easier for others to access it and do further research. This type of data sharing is making the process of technological advancement faster. Free courses available on the internet are helping many students in acquiring new skills. They also insist on sharing academic and business methods so that everyone can utilize it for the betterment of the human race. However, they forget to notice some important aspects.
Some types of information are too important and sensitive that it is very essential to secure them and hide them. This is true with the data related to science as the procedure of making an atom bomb could not be shared freely. Sharing of educational material for free may harm teachers’ who charge for teaching. Businessmen will also hesitate in publishing their business secrets. Nobody in this world can deny that this could be misused if it ended up in the wrong hands.
I believe that inappropriate use of freely available data may wipe out either nations or humanity itself. So, it should be accessible by only those who are responsible and eligible.

Would you mark this 6.5? People have different views about sharing information to the different kind of areas of work such as research and development facility, business and academic world. I believe these vital informations which may be useful for humankind should be shared without any restrictions. On the one hand, there are several reasons to argue about why should people share information regardless any obstacles. It is clear that, the development of society made a huge progress from the Stone Age to today. This progress would not be possible without sharing information between different kind of areas. For instance, I personally work in a research and development department in defence industry and all papers which I submitted to the department was inspired by other researchers who contributed their valuable work on internet. Moreover, these papers do not only contribute to a specific area of work, but also make people’s lives much more easier by other related fields which inspired by these data. On the other hand, one can also argue that these data should stay in the place where it has been developed. One of the reason is that, scientific centers, companies and universities are the place where important information is being created and they are competing with each other. As a result of that, these institutions reason privacy issues and do not feel to share the data in public. Additionally, scientists put so much effort to create important informations so that they would not want everyone to be informed about these data. To conclude, while there are some reasons not to share information which cause several issues, I believe that, people should always be open for both transmitting and receiving information in places where science is being made.
