Debate Competition: In today's society, generalists are more important than specialists?

Generalists are needed, but there are more generalists, which means that as a generalist, the challenge is greater because you have fewer opportunities. Generalists and specialists play a vital role in the development of society. Which one is more needed than not coming out.

Because professionals can be seen everywhere in comparison, professionals are reused, success cases abound, and the threshold for becoming a specialist is lower than that of generalists. In fact, whether it is a company or a country, many major decisions need a generalist to weigh the pros and cons, because they have a broad vision. For example, a computer professional is proficient in hardware, but he also becomes a computer hardware specialist on the basis of a generalist in certain disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and language.

In his future development, if he wants to make achievements, he also needs to supplement his expertise in software, electronics, etc., and he will become a generalist. Therefore, from the perspective of social needs, it should be equally important, but there will be certain differences in the needs of different periods, such as since the reform and opening up, what China lacks is more professional and skilled talents, that is, professionals. I'm just talking about my own humble opinion.

The debate on whether a generalist or a specialist is needed in today's society is as follows:

Contemporary society is more in need of professionals. The concept comes first. A professional is a person who has a certain understanding of multiple fields and is focused on and proficient in a specific field.

A generalist is someone who is less rooted in a specific field and has a wide range of knowledge and skills. Our criterion for judging is which one can better promote the healthy functioning and sustainable development of society.

We do not deny that contemporary society needs generalists, but compared with specialists, contemporary society needs the latter. We believe there are three reasons for this.

From the perspective of education, we all choose our majors before entering the university, and even if we choose two different majors from the same university, we will receive only one university and one major on the admission letter. Why is this happening?

One of the important factors is nothing more than that the school wants to train you to become a professional. The purpose of education is to train the educated to become the talents needed by society.

Expertise leads the innovation of contemporary society. The healthy operation and sustainable development of society are inseparable from innovation. It's easier for professionals to collaborate with experts in other disciplines to innovate or to make breakthroughs on their own.

Compared with generalists, specialists are more at the forefront of the subject field, master the most advanced technology, specialists have targeted and professional knowledge, it is easier to acquire and absorb new in-depth knowledge in their own fields, and they are good at digging deep into existing products to improve and innovate.

In teamwork, the role of professionals is even more important. With the development of society, contemporary society is paying more and more attention to cooperation. According to the survey, 30 years ago, only 10% of the Nobel Prize winners were teamwork, and now, the proportion of teamwork achievements has reached 60%.

However, cooperation between professionals can avoid this and ensure that a wider range of knowledge is obtained, and the correctness and depth of knowledge can be guaranteed, and professionals treat other experts as repositories of knowledge outside their own field of expertise.

There are more opportunities to integrate the unique knowledge distributed among different members, improve product accuracy, and create conditions for the development of new technologies. Thus, the collaboration between specialists and specialists can produce a 1+1>2 result, but the collaboration between generalists can only produce a 1+1<2 result.

From the three aspects of education, innovation, and cooperation, we have explained the reasons why the contemporary society needs more professionals, and professionals have unique conditions in terms of innovation and cooperation compared with generalists, so we firmly believe that contemporary society needs more professionals.

To be a T-shaped talent. That is, it is necessary to be both knowledgeable and specialized.

Of course, Ph.D. is the foundation, and specialization is the real one"Fishing".

Expert. It refers to having a skill. It is the specialty that distinguishes it from other people. There are countless industries in society, but when you really engage in it, you are only a drop in the ocean. You can't do small things without strong professional knowledge. If you can't do small things well, it's even more difficult to do big things.

Here's an example that I don't know if it's just inappropriate:"The god of stocks"Warren Buffett. The World's Greatest Investor. However, he only has one sentence: I don't vote for unfamiliar areas.

3.The expertise of the professionals is abundant, which is conducive to the research in the professional field, and you can make breakthroughs in innovation.

This debate is divided into three parts: modern society, more, generalist.

I think it can be said in the following aspects.

1.For individuals, generalists are knowledgeable and have a wide range of skills. When solving problems, knowledge can be applied in many ways. Integration, integration of scattered things, and flexibility between multiple methods, is more conducive to innovation.

2.In the case of businesses, generalists are even more needed. Although there are places where there is a need for people with professional skills. But what is more needed is a variety of skills that can be integrated and fragmented, creating greater benefits for the business.

You can talk about it in terms of the reality of employment.
