“It is better to know a little about many subjects than to know a lot about one subject.” To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has been argued that a person who knows a little about many topics will perform better than someone who knows a lot about just

one

specific topic. I partially do agree with

this

statement.

First

of all, just learning a little about a lot of

subjects

is not helpful. Someone with limited skills in a wide variety of fields but without expertise in

one

particular domain can not have a career fact that they are poorly qualified to have an occupation.

For example

, a person with brief experience in medicine and mathematics can neither be a doctor nor an engineer, so they probably should consider mastering

one

of their talents in order to be able to make a profession.

However

, knowing so much just about

one

specific topic is a negative personality trait. An individual should know at least a small amount about various

subjects

to be capable of living in a society. Architects,

for instance

, as much as they should be experts in their own field, should

also

be able to take a loan and buy a house. They

also

should be able to fix minor problems with their computer and prepare their own meals. So it is impossible to live effectively in a society without knowing at least a little skill in different

subjects

. To summarise,

although

it is correct that expertise in a field is required for individuals to get employed and become jobholders, it is crucial for them to have few qualifications in other

subjects

so they will have little trouble living in society.
