Is innocence just a simple form of ignorance?

Question

hmm? thanks alot*

Answer 1

"Ignorance" is sometimes used to describe people who have sexist, racist or other hateful beliefs, so maybe it's better to say that innocence is similar to a lack of awareness. Ignorance is almost intentionally deciding to ignore something, innocence assumes you haven't gotten the chance to choose to ignore something yet.

Answer 2

yes and no; innocence is never being exposed, while ignorance is a subconcious choice not to learn. while all rules can be broken, look at it like this: children could be called ignorant of the real world, but through no fault of their own. ignorance tends to have a negative connotation. innocence is viewed as a blissful state while ignorance as one that is undesirable.

Answer 3

Kind of....your only innocent for a short time because you are ignorent to whats going on in the world so yeah, I guess it is, thats my opinion
