Do you agree or disagree with the following
statement?
it is better to have broad knowledge of
many academic subjects than to specialize in
one specific subject.
Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.
To answer this question it seems to be
necessary to make clear, for what aspect of life
the knowledge in general should be good. On
the one hand you might think that knowledge
should be useful for the success in your job
or at school. On the other hand you maybe
understand knowledge as a part of the human
existence, that allows us to think critically and
to reflect about our life which includes the
whole environment surrounding us.
I want to respond the question from the
second point of view. Knowledge has to be
understood as much more than the ability to
function in a special kind of business environment.
Knowledge is the sum of all the
theoretical facts and experiences a human
being collects during his or her whole life.
And from this position a knowledge as broad
as possible must be accepted as the better
alternative.
I think that it will become a very big
problem in our society when we continue to
concentrate the whole educational system —
especially the schools — only on teaching
specific subjects. Of course it is actually is very
important for young people to have the right
preparation for the business world. But as I
already said, life must focus on much more
than the economic aspect.
Even if you think that the preparation
for the business world should be the main
aspect of acquiring knowledge, you should still
agree with the statement, because when you
really analyse the requirements of work that
are typical in our time, you will realize that
the technologies and the methods change so
quickly, that it would be a very big mistake to
concentrate on a specific subject. You would
always have the danger that if you concentrate
on a specialized part of human knowledge,
that part might become completely unimportant
in the nearest future. Nowadays it seems
to be useful to be able to program computers.
Yet in some years computers might have the
ability to program themselves.
When you have a broad knowledge than
you will be able to handle all the new things
that you might get confronted with. And you
will not only be able to handle them — but you
will have the possibility to fully understand
them and take part in their development. Not
only as a passive part but as a creator of your
own future
