noname866UID: 3517727

Why asked wether having broad knowledge of many academic subject better than to specialize in one specific subject,different people have different opinion.Some people think only when you specialize in on subject can you have achievement in this feild.However,I insisit broad knowledge can contribute to versitile peoron who is extremely necessary in these days.In order to make myself clear,I will give a couple of reasons.

To start with,broad knowledge help us better solve problems.As we all know,everything in the world interlocks with others.Nobody can survive alone.Thus in order to solve problems we need to analyze the network related to the things we are facing,which obviously require broad knowledge.Chemistry's application in art work is a case in the point.Assume you were a chemistist,you have a friend who is a curator of a museum.She want to buy a portrait which is cliamed as a authetic work of Van gogh for her museum.However,she don't know wether the it is ture or not.She turns  to you for help.You can check pigment used by the painter in the picture and analyze the component of it.Then find some component in the pigment were not found at the Von gogh's time.Obviously,the portrait is fake.Without the knowledge about the character of the time when Vin gogh lived,no way can we find out the authenticity of the portrait.

Dispeite the problem solve ability,broad knowledge also makes students better  prepared for their future career.Broad knowledge will surly give you advantages among the other competitors.Clearly, it can ensure you a better problem-solving ability just as the paragraph mentioned above,what's more it can serve as an effective communication tool as well.You can talk freely with any collegue in your workplace by the virture of the broad knowldge you own.A healthy relationship is extemely important since it determins your work envronment.

On the other hand,there is no doubt that specilaztion also has some advantages.Albert Einstein,the greastest scientist of the 20th century,was poor at daily life.It is not exaggerated to say that he could not live without his wife's care.Energy is so limited that we can only deveto it to the most worthwhile thing.However, the first step of deep exploration in one field is having broad knowledge.Only when we contact with many things can we find out which is the most simulating.

All in all,Granted energy is limited and we are supposed to devetoed one specific subject.But I still insist that broad knowledge is the foundation for specification since broad knowledge improve us a better porblem-solving ability and career opportunity
