<p>Knowledge is power. In agriculture, medicine and industry, for example, knowledge has liberated us from hunger, disease, and tedious labor. Today, however, our knowledge has become so powerful that it is beyond our control. We know how to do many things but we do not know where, when , or even whether this know-how should be used.</p>
<p>Assignment : Can knowledge be a burden rather than a benefit ? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience or observations.
MY ESSAY
Because of the information explosion, it seems that people are continuously getting new knowledge. Therefore, many people would argue that knowledge does few things practical for human beings. However, in the view of persuasive examples, I consider that knowledge brings brings more benefits.
To start with, people could only understand this world by gaining enough knowledge. For example, everyone knows that human beings are involved, instead of being created due to the theory of evolution. What's more, people are able to explain the sunset and sunrise thanks to the movement of earth. However, in the past days, people were not able to lift the mysterious veil of universe. As a result, it is the knowledge that brings us the recognization of the whole world.
What's more, people could change the living environments into more suitable places for human beings with knowledge. According to the fact that people have to defend the harsh climate and animals' attack, they began to use their knowledge to build dams, weapons and so on. In the end, people survived and became highly intelligent. In contrast, without knowledge, people would be probably living in the forest, hunting and collecting food. In a conclusion, knowledge is so vital that it allows people to stand out of all the living creatures in the world and change it.
In the end, people could create new things in order to save time and work effeciently. No one could deny that the invention of computer greatly save us from tremendous work by culculating and organizing the data because people put their knowledge of physics and mathematics into the creation of computer. By the same token, the smart phones, cars, and airplanes are all the masterpieces. On the contrary, without the knowledge, people would have to sacrifice hours of time in dealing with arduous tasks and ride horses or a carriage to get back from workplace.Hence, people could create and think with their knowledge in order to have a better life.
All these examples above convince us that knowledge saves us from ignorance, motivates us to move forward and assists us to make a watershed change. In a word, people should never question the significance of knowledge for it brings us many more benefits.</p>
<p>THANKS!! Good luck to everyone.</p>
