"No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."








The speaker contents that to make advance significantly, all fields of study should take knowledge and experience from outsiders to them. I concede that with today's fast development knowledge, it seems to be no field area can improve without other fields' help, since many significant discovers are the result of multiple fields exporters’contributions. The boundary of the discipline has become more and more out of focus. However, the speaker overextents the work of the other fields, while the expert knowledge is the basic position of its own area.

First of all, nowadays the interdisciplinary
corporation has become more and more popular which seems to be covered all the conners. The anthropology, whose aim is to research the development of humanity, is a good example for this assertion which does not only depend on archaeologist who unearth the evidence that also need the work of biochemists, geologists and linguistics. Through analyzing the hair, nails, blood, and bones of mummified bodies, biochemists and forensic scientists can determine the life expectancy, general healthy condition and even the cause of death of common populations. By researching the proponent of the earth, tools, weapons or clothes, geologist can identify the period of this mummified lived. Moreover, linguists can decipher the strange words or pictures on the wall or stones to realize that period’s cultural, history and even life styles.

In addition, multidisciplinary investigate can make the research production more flexible and lasting long. The isolation area research may reveal the negative
influence and limitation that proved true in previous context but become wrong in current or future life, which is just like an atrophied muscle suffering from lack of movement that must affect the procedure of the development of the study. In this case outside knowledge can use their advantage to supplement the disadvantage of isolation research, which has produced many interdisciplinary major such as Biochemistry, Mathematics and Economics and Marine Biology

In the contrast, the speaker maybe overlook
the contribution of the expertise knowledge in its own  field. Though the interdisciplinary coorporation can help the scholars to solve problems during the investigation and bring about the isolation research more flexible and lasting long, the expertise knowledge is the basic sturcture which can control the main direction of the study and solve the main steam problems. In short it is unfair to conclude the expertise knowledge and outside knowledge which one is more important than the other. As both two important facts in research, no one can live without the other one, just like the right hands and left hands for human. Thus both researching knowledge should be given equal positions during the investigation as the key meatheads to solve problems.   

In sum, the speaker extends that the outside knowledge makes the essential contributions to one field study even no one can do research without them. I fundamentally agree this assertion, in some degree the multidiscipline investigate indeedly give positive effect into the research to help involve problems and inhibit the negative influence and limitation of the isolation research. Nevertheless the expert knowledge of inside seems to be the same important as the basic fundamental
that can control the main direction and solve the main steam problems.
