Some universities require students to take classes in many subjects. Other universities require students to specialize in one subject. Which is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Being expert on one subject is better than knowing one thing about everything.
Universities has very important role in shaping their student's futures. They all have their own ways in teaching and these different technics of teaching sometimes affects the student's lerning. I think trying to teach something about everything is the biggest error in universities. Specialising in one thing brings professionalism and practical use of knowledge to people.
First of all, I think information become beneficial when person is able to use it for his/her own good. We may know a lot of things, but if we are not able to put them into practical use, this knowledge means just a worthless sum . And in order to put in use what you know about one topic, you must know enough about it.
Moreover, learning everything about one thing gives person more pleasure. As we learn more, it becomes more interesting. Hence, it does not bore people. But we should not forget that this is valid when we are studying in our favaurite topic. Determining the best topic to study on is vital for success. For instance, when I was in high school, I used to select books to read spontaneously. I used to go to the library, choose one book and read it. The subject was not important. As the time passed, I understood that it was good to learn about everything but it was purposeless. After that I decided the topics that I was interested in and began to read books about these topics. And now I do reading more motivatedly and I can see it develops me in a way I want.
In conclusion, I believe knowledge is for people's own benefit. It has to serve people. And in order to succeed this, it should be in sufficient amount and usable. Thus, as the main teacher of a person's life, universities should support specialising on one thing. There is no logic in learning unnecessary information. All universities should adopt this principle in teaching.
