Which is worse ignorance or apathy?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

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 2

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.
