The power of information!

in Hive Learners11 months ago

I strongly believe that ignorance sometimes, could be bliss, sometimes we don’t need to know about all our problems in order not to worry too much about them. For the record, most people die of Depression and high blood pressure (HBP), The majority of such cases are caused by overthinking, maybe for traces and obvious reasons, that might be due to having too many problems.

Just as knowing our problems and too much information is important, as regards this topic, knowing them most times, can be weigh dangerous than we can manage or control. There are certain factors that I’ll list and explain below to consider when everybody gets informed about the front and back pages of the country.

Quality of information
It is important to know that the quality of information that is carried across all classes of people in a country, differs in quality and judgment. Information is power, if it’s not properly managed, it can cause chaos. As though it can make, it can also break. So there are people who deliberate on certain information and get results while there are others who will deliberate and cause problems. Furthermore, if information is not properly guided and managed, it could lead to unmanageable consequences.

Reaction of the receiver
People can be unpredictable, certain knowledge about certain things has its reaction and effect on the receiver, that is the receiver of information can also be a victim of the consequence. For example, when breaking information about death comes to the ears of a particular family, imagine the reaction of the family members. Some might have health challenges and maybe hear the info and then it escalates to other serious issues. It’s directly relative to the Information of a country.

Let's look at another instance insurgent groups, coups, fellow citizens, and other associates. Imagine a group of assassins getting information that the president of a country is going to a particular place to have a vacation as a public announcement for instance, the awareness of those assassins might be sharp and bent on making means to attack to get what they want. So, receivers of certain knowledge might be detrimental in terms of the devastating consequences of such knowledge.

Mindset/ reasoning/ psychological capacity
Wisdom they say, is profitable to direct. Information is a valuable commodity that can also be traded into the wrong hands. Things like information can be very expensive tools, people differ and the mindsets of the people aren’t the same, so that’s the reason certain information that are meant to be private and public.

The thereafter actions
In every country, the citizens have the power to be chaotic when it comes to certain information of the state. So, to prevent war and fracas, it is ideal for certain information or knowledge to be contained, scrutinized, accessed, and treated with caution because in such cases, people within the discussion may be victimized.

In conclusion, every piece of information and knowledge of a country shouldn’t be publicized, but instead, it should be filtered in to properly govern the activities of the state/ country.

Thanks for reading🌹

Sort:  

Filtered for the general public, yet available and transparent to those wanting to know.
I think that’s the ideal situation.

Yeah!! It's better filtered than getting the actual information out

Too much info can be stifling for a lot of people. But it’s not an excuse to not give any info at all of course

Yeah!!! You are correct!!!

There is certain information that shouldn't be revealed to the public, especially when it comes to national security and I love the example you gave about the group of assassins and this is very true because revealing information about the president's movement will give them the power to properly plan their attack. In such a case, it's better to withhold such info

Yeah!! Not all information should be made public for our own safety
