TOPIC: ISSUE9 - "Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use."

With the harder and more complex knowledge and technology, what is improbable is everyone understanding academic disciplines. Scholars' purposes of studying academic disciplines are to make profits to wider users not to reach a wider audience.

With the development of science it is not realize to require all people studying all the subjects and doing all the experiences. For many people give up study fundamental courses in an early time in their life, without the knowledge, how could they understand problems in the academic lectures? If we ask a physical professor to teach a person quantum mechanics, who only have the primary education level and only can do some addition and subtraction of mathematic problems, it may be harder than let the professor to solve a real problem without only help by equipments.

There are also huge differences between subjects. Therefore, the scientists also hardly know another domain very well. For example, even if the researchers in economics have outstanding successes in business world and get profits using the material products done by chemists, these businessmen also cannot tell how to get the compounds but only know how to use the result to earn money. No surprising that it is similar in other academic domains.

Although the experts in an academic department need to translate more fundamental knowledge in their domains to wider people but it is hardly for them to clearly explain all the processes in a subject. We can clearly see that medicines can cure more diseases; air conditions can help us not living in the hot or cold weather; cars, train, and air plane help us transit between two different areas far away; computers store and translate information to all over the world and they also help scientists in physics chemistry and other fields to solve the problems which cannot be imagined before. Experts also want to let people know and understand that their works are valuable to the social development, but they lack of time to do all the things, both explaining their work and hard working on their work. Therefore, to efficiently get the best results of researches, people only need use the best results provided by experts to do best works in own jobs. That is the most efficient way to everyone.

The ultima purpose of us is developing our society and making a better living condition for humanity. Therefore, we need try to do the best in our own careers using the latest academic successes.
