Curiousity: Click Bait

Curiosity: The Good, the Bad, and the Double-Edged Sword by Christopher Bergland shows examples relating to my topic by showing how click bait can lead to people to false products. Meaning that if you click on the URL it will give you something else then what you were looking for.

"Even when being actively curious is not in your best interest, the quest to discover something new can be like an itch that must be scratched. As an example, we all know the feeling of being snagged by a "clickbait" title that coaxes you down a rabbit hole by clicking on a vapid website link that threatens to turn your brain into mush." (Bergland)

Curiousity: Click Bait

"Unfortunately, clickbait titles often appeal to the lowest common denominator and make you feel like you’ve been duped, when the article fails to deliver any valuable goods. Anytime I'm a sucker for a tawdry clickbait title, I kick myself for wasting time and filling my head with gobbledygook. I'm sure you've experienced this feeling, too." (Bergland)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

In the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time Christopher was curious about how his neighbor's dog died but being curious can lead to bad consequences.

(Haddon 99.) “And then I thought that perhaps the letter was from mother. Perhaps it was a letter to another person called Christopher, from that Christopher’s mother. I was excited. When I started writing my book there was only one mystery I had to solve. Now there were two.”

(Haddon 112.) “Then I stopped reading the letter because I felt sick. Mother had not had a heart attack. Mother had not died. Mother had been alive all the time. And Father had lied about this. I tried really hard to think if there was any other explanation but I couldn’t think of one. And then I couldn’t think of anything at all because my brain wasn’t working properly.”

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park shows examples of how the curiousity of humans thinking that they can control and manipulate DNA to control dinosaurs.

Romeo and Juliet

The Fryer comes up with a plan to make Juliet's parents to think that she is dead so that she can be with Romeo. (Shakesphere)

In the tale of Romeo and Juliet it shows the relationship of two teens and their undying love for each other. But because their families hated each other the couple thought of ways so that they can leave their families without anything happening. Thinking that their plan will go right it went downhill.

Romeo and Juliet

When Juliet executed the plan the messenger could not give Romeo's letter to him making Benvolio tell Romeo that Juliets dead making him go kill himself for her. ( Shakesphere)

Conclusion

So overral being curious is not always a good thing but it is neither a bad thing too. But it can be bad because it can lead to really bad consequences later in life.

So if you are good with your decisions with your curiousity it can lead to new discoveries but they can not be always good.
