The Importance of Knowledge in Society

Knowledge is essential for individuals to gain the right to act in society; it provides the basis for engaging in certain activities. For example, lawyers have the right to draft contracts because they possess the necessary knowledge in law. Plumbers, on the other hand, have the knowledge to fix plumbing issues. Society acknowledges their expertise based on the knowledge they have acquired. Having faith or beliefs alone does not grant individuals the right to act in public.
