it is better to have broad knowledge ofmany academic subjects than to specialize inone specific subject. Use specific reasons and examples tosupport your answer. v. 2
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
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
