▶ Your Answer : There has been an argument regarding the issue of whether people have easily access to a lot of information creating problems or not. Some people maintain that it is good for people to have a lot of information. However, from my perspectives, I would say that having a lot of information is able to make some problems. There are two reason to support my ideas. To begin with, when people get information on the internet such as personal blogs, they would obtain biased information. Individuals have their own views, beliefs, and values. When these knowledges are conveyed to readers, they are likely to form a skewed ideas of certain points. As a case in point, when I was in high school, I had a foreign friend who came from Ethiopia. I often felt uncomfortable with him after seeing that some blogger wrote down the contents that Ethiopian are dirty, lazy, and primitive because of eating meal with bare hands. So I kept some distance from him and sometimes made fun of him. However, after traveling to Africa last year, I exactly got to know their culture. I realized that they just have their own culture, not dirty, and lazy. In fact, they tended to be diligent, passionate, and respect others. Nowadays, I no longer feel awkward and keep in touch with people I met in Africa. If I kept on thinking them based on the Internet, I would not be able to get accurate information about them. In addition, Commercial information on the Internet lures people to buy their product regardless of their necessity. As modern society is becoming competitive, sellers provide a lot of information on the Internet such as cheating, faking, and exaggerating advertisement. Such information tended to prevent people from choosing proper items. For instance, many research team, including the Seoul Research Center, analyzed the data from the two groups of young adults. One group consisted of those who spend more than two hours a day watching various commercial advertisement, and the other group was made up of those who did not access to the bad information. The researchers found that the former was more likely to spend a lot of money on impulse. In fact, the first group showed lower satisfaction, a higher consume propensity and even frequently wanted to refund, while the second group tended to use their products longer, and have a happiness with their decision. This implies that when people expose too much information, they would be able to choose bad items. Such an example clearly depicts that information too much should not be allowed. In a nutshell, my contention is that providing a lot of information have negative effects on people. This is because of getting inaccurate information and choosing bad products. All in all, the importance of contacting moderate information cannot be overestimated. |
