'''Ignorance''' is the [[state]] in which one lacks [[knowledge]], is unaware of something or [[chooses]] to [[subjective]]ly ignore [[information]]. This should not be confused with being unintelligent, as one's level of [[intelligence]] and level of education or general awareness are not the same. The [[word]] "Ignorant" is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware. The term may be used specifically (e.g. "One can be an expert in math, and totally ignorant of [[history]].") or generally (e.g. "an ignorant person.") -- although the second use is used less as a descriptive and more as an imprecise [[personal]] insult. | '''Ignorance''' is the [[state]] in which one lacks [[knowledge]], is unaware of something or [[chooses]] to [[subjective]]ly ignore [[information]].
