Freedom of getting information


In Jo Twist’s (2005) article “Controversy blights UN net summit,” the author explains about giving the freedom to get information. According to the article, she says nowadays lots of countries share their information. But between rich and poor countries these is a gap about getting information. Also she states that if there is barrier for getting information, it brings negative way to countries. In Tunis, there opened a conference for a summit of solutions. So the UN decided to make freedom get information. The UN has a purpose for free sharing of information and creating information.
It shows that information is important in society. If it is difficult to get information, people will get trouble. So I agree with the author’s point. These countries should make information available like other countries. They should prepare for change.

First of all, people should receive freedom to get information. We live a modern technological society. Every day people contact media once a day. It shows we are in a media world. People should prepare and be ready to change. Information brings lots of advice so people are entitled to know.

Next, people should have freedom to say what they want, when people get information, they have opinions about the information. Some people agree, but some do not want information to be free. We should talks about what we want and think about it. It will make us better than before. If we don’t allow this, people can’t be developed.

Finally, people should have opportunity for sharing information. I suppose that if some country develops new technology, it is good for the environments. But they don’t share it with other countries so their get an environment problem. It is kind of silly. We all live in the earth and are human. So people can require sharing information.

In conclusion, we have the power for knowing information. It helps make our lives more comfortable. We should prepare to change. Information makes it easier to change. There are three ways, such as freedom to get information, say what you want, and share information; those ways are important points in social society.
