Ignorance is Bliss
Have you been paying
attention to the news recently?
No, I haven’t. I hate
watching the news. All they talk about is death and destruction. It’s always so depressing!
You are right, but I
think it’s important to be aware
of what’s happening in the world around you. If you’re aware of current events, you’ll be more knowledgeable.
Which is better? To be
knowledgeable about bad news and feel sad, or to be ignorant about it and not feel sad?
So, you believe ignorance is bliss?
Don’t you?
- What kind of
destruction do you hear about on the news?
- Do you think it’s
important to be aware of current events? Why or why not?
- What are some current
events that are happening right now?

“Ignorance” means that
you are not aware of something, and “bliss” means “happiness.” So
“ignorance is bliss” means that you are happier if you are not aware of
the bad things in the world around you.
Do you believe that
“ignorance is bliss?” Write a paragraph to explain how you feel. (In
the title, circle either “is” or “isn’t.”)
