Knowledge and Community

This is an era of knowledge and information. As we are living in community, our community is linked tightly with knowledge. Moreover, knowledge benefits the relationship within the community.
Firstly, knowledge is essential. One ought to know some other individuals in the community. If he does not, he is not even in the community. The better they know each other, the more appropriate that they share opinions. Misunderstood often result in conflict or enmity, which negatively affect the community. Knowledge is not always academic; it can be the understanding between one another. It is not a modern factor, throughout the history, all communities has been based on knowledge. So we can easily conclude that a community cannot exist without knowledge, it is essential.
Although knowledge is essential, there’s not enough evidence to prove that it is beneficial to the community. Think of two people talking together, if one is a doctor and the other is an engineer, maybe their talk will only be about daily life. But if they are both doctors, they can share experiences of working, because they have something in common. Naturally, people don’t have the same job, but a lot of them can still talk well. It is because the expanding of their knowledge. Think of two balloons depart from each other. How can they get in touch with each other? One is fly towards each other, which means they have the same aim, just as people with same career. Another one is that they inflate till they are large enough, it is the same case when people’s knowledge increase and at last overlaps. However, there is one more way which is hybrid---they inflate towards the same direction. Referring to real life, this process can be showed as knowing the world that we live in. It is mostly practiced in an easy way. By the term “hot topics”, we can see that people would like to discuss something which is common. For instance, weather. Predicting weather or watch weather broadcasting is a way of learning the world that we are living in. Knowledge not only makes people have something to talk about but also provide them with more to talk about. One more thing that I want to state about learning the world is that it will change attitudes. Some people become atheist after learning science. What’s more is that the changes are depended on the personality of the individuals; sometimes it may bring argument to the community. However, knowledge is considered to be beneficial more than harmful generally.
We always study something about another community, which can be other people in the city or another nation. It is important for us to know other communities because we are not always living within our own community. Nowadays communication is more advanced than ever before. When making decisions, especially a large one, it is objectively better when more reasonable opinions are shared. It is important and beneficial to learn other communities because we can get other mature thoughts or useful information which we cannot get within our community. Studying others makes improvement.
After all, I can confidently draw a conclusion that knowledge has positive effect on community.
