Ignorance is known to be a term that is used to describe that there is something that cannot be done because people lack the knowledge to do it. Apathy means that a person may know what needs to be done to make a change, but the person has no desire to apply the knowledge that he has because he does not care.

Some say that to become ignorant is blissful, but people cannot help but learn more about the world as they continue to live in it. When a person is “apathetic,” the person does not have any emotion towards something that needs to be done.
