Which is worse ignorance or apathy?

Question

Which is worse ignorance or apathy?

Answer 1

Apathy.  It's just a simple uncaring.

Ignorance? I'm ignorant about lots of things, but I try to learn.

Answer 2

Good question.

I think apathy is worse.

Ignorance can be due to not being aware of something, whereas apathy is knowing but not caring,

Answer 3

I would say ignorance. If you know about it and don't care, then you've weighed all the information you have and made an intelligent decision. But if you're ignorant, it's like you're not even trying. I'm annoyed by ignorant people.

Answer 4

apathy.

with ignorance, you don't know not to care;

with apathy, you know and you still don't care...

Answer 5

I don't know and I don't care.

Answer 6

i would say ignorance because without it..what are you?

why are YOU important? without education and being aware of yourself makes you soo low.

but at the same time i also think that apathy is also the worse.

so either way..neither is worse because BOTH "are" worse.

Answer 7

Ignorance is something we all "suffer" from. It's simply not having knowledge on a subject, and it is something that we can avoid by studying and being willing to learn. Apathy is indifference. People can choose to be apathic and rude, that makes it quite worse.

Answer 8

apathy. The ability to change what can be changed, but ignored out of selfish reasons is disgusting. Ignorance is not a conscious choice to ignore

Answer 9

ignorance = smb has no knowledge

apathy = smb has no wish to do anything

apathy is worse
