Is knowledge always a positive thing? Why or why not?

Knowledge is good but yes it can be bad when you use it to do bad things. Like when you learn of something and exploit it for money. The more you know the better but use it with morality and common sense. Sometimes we learn things we wish we didn’t.

Olivia

9/30/2019 01:13:33 pm

I agree.

Carson

9/30/2019 01:18:13 pm

That’s a good example of bad knowledge.

Olivia

9/30/2019 01:12:56 pm

Knowledge is not always positive. Real world knowledge can be dark, and give knowledge of things that you would have rather not known. That doesn’t mean that all knowledge is that way, though. There is also a lot of positive knowledge, that gives us faith in humanity.

Sienna

9/30/2019 01:13:53 pm

Faith in humanity is good :)

Jonah

Knowledge isn’t necessarily always positive, because sometimes you know things that you didn’t want to know. Also sometimes bad people use knowledge for bad things.

Olivia

9/30/2019 01:15:48 pm

I commemorate that people use knowledge in a bad way.

Kendra

9/30/2019 01:17:08 pm

I totally agree.

Tyler

9/30/2019 01:17:32 pm

Yah they do that

Hailey

9/30/2019 01:17:48 pm

I agree that people can use knowledge or information to do destructive things.

Dakota James

9/30/2019 01:17:59 pm

I feel the same way, sometimes being dumb seems better😂.

Carson

9/30/2019 01:14:25 pm

Knowledge is almost always a good thing. Sometimes you might not want to know something that you do. This might because the knowledge that you know scares you about the future.

Olivia

9/30/2019 01:16:29 pm

I think the perspective of knowledge depends on the person.

Dakota James

9/30/2019 01:21:02 pm

Knowledge is definitely a positive thing that can help you go about your life easier.

Janessa

9/30/2019 01:21:22 pm

And you can always try to change or fix something you don’t like about the world.

Dakota James

9/30/2019 01:14:47 pm

Knowledge can be a good thing because it’s can help you through life with getting a good job and living a nice life. It is also a bad thing because people will try to use you and take advantage of your knowledge to benefit themselves.

Eliza

9/30/2019 01:17:22 pm

Good way to look at it.

Carson

9/30/2019 01:17:40 pm

I agree, great insight.

Kendra

9/30/2019 01:18:52 pm

I think it can really effect what job you get.

Madeline

9/30/2019 01:20:13 pm

Good perspective to have.

Ele

9/30/2019 01:23:49 pm

Yes, I agree with you.

Kendra

9/30/2019 01:15:02 pm

I believe sometimes knowledge can be a bad thing. Like if your in war and your enemy has knowledge of what your doing that can be negative.

Sienna

9/30/2019 01:15:38 pm

That was a good example

Janessa

9/30/2019 01:21:41 pm

GAME OVER

Erik

9/30/2019 01:15:08 pm

Knowledge can be positive if you use it towards a good cause. Knowledge can also be a bad thing if someone uses it to do something bad. Knowledge can be good or bad depending on how you use it.

Tyler

9/30/2019 01:18:19 pm

Yah I think so

Nathan

9/30/2019 01:20:18 pm

I disagree knowledge is always good

Nathan Deschaine

9/30/2019 01:15:33 pm

Knowledge is always a good because it makes us smarter and we have a better ability to make good decisions. Ignorance is the reason we have troubles on this earth.

Hailey

9/30/2019 01:16:54 pm

I disagree, I think that too much knowledge can create problems.

Jonah link

9/30/2019 01:17:17 pm

It smells like smoke in here.

Myah

9/30/2019 01:18:44 pm

I agree about what you said about ignorance.

Keely

9/30/2019 01:22:35 pm

But think of those who acquire to much power. That has been a huge cause of the falling of many nations.

Erik link

9/30/2019 01:25:08 pm

I think knowledge can be a bad thing also.

Hailey

9/30/2019 01:15:58 pm

I think knowledge is very powerful, but I don’t think it’s always positive. Certain knowledge is destructive...to a person, to a society, etc. I think that the lack of knowledge in certain situations is good, but the overall lack of knowledge would cause society to crumble.

Nathan

9/30/2019 01:17:54 pm

How does knowledge become destructive?

Hailey

9/30/2019 01:19:47 pm

Powerful people can use knowledge to do negative things. Too much knowledge is something that I think leads to dystopian societies.

Ele

9/30/2019 01:22:19 pm

I really like how you stated this

Myah

9/30/2019 01:16:10 pm

I think knowledge is a great thing. The more things we know the more that we can accomplish. Someone who is kept in the dark and doesn’t know about the world then we they do get out into the world they won’t be prepared for it.

Cade

9/30/2019 01:18:58 pm

I agree that keeping someone in the dark forces them to be unprepared.

Madeline

9/30/2019 01:23:55 pm

That is a really good way to look at it.

Janessa

9/30/2019 01:25:40 pm

Yeah but you shouldn’t try to teach someone about the world if they aren’t ready or mature enough to understand.

Tyler Hilton

9/30/2019 01:16:24 pm

No because sometimes knowledge can be used against others such as blackmail. Sometimes people choose to use their knowledge against other people.

Lizzie

9/30/2019 01:21:27 pm

This is a really good point.

Eliza

9/30/2019 01:16:42 pm

I think knowledge is important but sometimes you do want to know less. And to not know everything sometimes is okay.

Trishelle

9/30/2019 01:19:56 pm

I love that

Cade

9/30/2019 01:16:48 pm

Knowledge is not always a positive thing. Sometimes knowing too much can put a person in danger. Knowledge can also cause people to rebel against one another.

Lizzie

9/30/2019 01:22:09 pm

I agree with this statement.

Ele

9/30/2019 01:17:59 pm

I believe that knowledge is good to have but in some things you should not always take advantage of it. Some people that have a lot of knowledge but they don’t feel they should expand it. People that have knowledge are good but others that don’t have knowledge to the fullest are still growing. So sometimes the knowledge you have is not positive maybe it’s negative knowledge.

Trishelle

9/30/2019 01:17:59 pm

You mostly need knowledge but you don’t always have to have it. Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing.

Eliza

9/30/2019 01:19:26 pm

Good job that’s smart

Madeline

9/30/2019 01:18:24 pm

No knowledge is not always a good thing. Sometimes knowledge can be used as a weapon to hurt someone else. The only reason knowledge is a bad thing is because of how you use it. The best way to use knowledge is to help someone or to fix a problem.

Cade

9/30/2019 01:20:45 pm

You’re right about how knowledge can be used as a weapon.

Janessa

9/30/2019 01:18:30 pm

Ever heard the phrase “ignorance is bliss”? The world is much more simple and peaceful when your an idiot. Everything depends on perspective. It’s not about how much knowledge you have, but how you use it. You can get some pretty bad news, or learn the most terrible things in the world, and you can still live a happy life. You have to make a conscious decision on how you will let certain knowledge affect you.

Myah

9/30/2019 01:24:11 pm

Making the decision to learn is a big thing.

Boaz

9/30/2019 01:18:36 pm

Knowlage is the key to the shackles of ignorance. These shackles keep us from exploring the varied lanscape of life. The more shackles you unlock the more you are able to explore. The question is not whether the key is positive or negative but if the places you explore induce positive or negative actions. That question is based entirely on the choices of the person.

Jonah link

9/30/2019 01:20:40 pm

You should be a motivational speaker.

Erik

9/30/2019 01:20:56 pm

I’m quoting you on that

Keely

9/30/2019 01:24:26 pm

I didn’t think of the fact that it really is just based on that persons choices

Keely

9/30/2019 01:19:41 pm

Knowledge is not always a positive thing. The knowledge of a death or tragedy is never a postitive thing. While knowledge is power, power can be destructive. Information others have over you can be used against you, putting you in the mindset of self doubt which is unhealthy. Have no fear though knowledge is also positive. Look at the world we live in today, with the knowledge we have, we are getting rid of diseases and building huge environments that keep improving everyday.

Boaz

9/30/2019 01:26:04 pm

I really like how you talk about power. Knowledge gives us the power to be negative or positive. The challenge of loosing someone is making your thoughts and emotions completely selfless; my opinion is that once you do that you are able to think positively about the situation

Beth

9/30/2019 01:20:01 pm

Knowledge is sometimes a burden. That’s by the saying “ ignorance is bliss” is very relatable. It is not always a good thing.

Micah Tolman

9/30/2019 01:20:30 pm

Knowledge isn’t always positive. For example, knowing of people doing drugs. That’s not positive. But we don’t get to know which knowledge we have.

Boaz

9/30/2019 01:26:48 pm

You could help the person though which could make it positive. It is always about action

Lizzie

9/30/2019 01:20:51 pm

Knowledge is usually always good but depends on how use it because it can be used in a good or bad way. Too much knowledge can lead to many problems.
