Few people would deny the validity of the 6. ABOVE saying. 4. In fact, in all areas of life, the power of knowledge exerts a considerable force.
10.A very good example is the field of politics. As some politicians have access to many sources of information, they possess a formidable weapon: power. 14. With this power, they are able to control the lives of the general public. 3. For example, when politicians want public support for a particular cause, all they have to do is put forward the positive aspects of their
proposals and hide the negative. The public, 8. thus, ignorant of the whole picture, 13. are more likely to lend their support to the politicians' cause. 2. In a similar way, other politicians are also controlled. 5.Looking at the matter from another angle, the general public and other politicians, 13. are then more likely to through lack of knowledge, are at the mercy of the politician who possesses knowledge, and 8.,thus, power.
1. Work is another obvious area where knowledge bestows power. When someone applies for a job 12.,FOR INSTANCE, the success of the application depends 17.,among other things, on the knowledge of the person who applies. 15. This knowledge involves skills, 16. such as knowing how best to complete the application form; using the correct language; or how to write the accompanying letter. 7.When the successful candidate finally starts working, 11.At the interview itself, the success of the application will depend on the applicant's display of knlwledge about the post applied for. 7. When the successful candidate finally starts working, success or failure will largely be dependent on his/her accumulation of knowledge, 9.so that he/she can deal effectively with others and not be manipulated by them, too much.
