Assignment two: Unit two

Information gives you power in the sense that the more information you have about something the more time you can take out and think about situations that involve using the information you have gained. In deciding on a future career choice you have more of an understanding about said career and you have something strong to base your decision on the career choice you choose to pursue the more information you have. Information that you would have that would effect someone's decision about this would be what the job entitles and what the basic responsibilities would be along with the future potential of job promotion would be. Information that someone wouldn't have would be who you're working with who your bosses are and what everyday would feel like. Factors that would be unknown would be what the area of work would be like day to day, whether or not you'll like your bosses, or if you'll even enjoy working in that specific position. Information could potentially decrease the negative assumptions you'd have about people, places, things, and ideas but it does have the potential to increase the amount of negative assumptions about the above areas, however assumptions usually come from a person's lack of information. Also it would have the same effect in the assumptions of others. By passing information down to other people it will potentially eliminate someone's assumptions about a particular idea and when people are informed well then you can begin to eliminate biases people have acquired due to lack of proper information. Information allows you to deal with challenges by preparing you for how and what you'll be challenged with. Having information delays your action and increases your thought about problems and anytime you have more time to think about a situation the more productive your response to your problem will be.
