Do you agree or disagree with the following statement It is better to have broad knowledge of many academic subjects than to specialize in one specific subject

Comparison of the earlier centuries, society has accepted that knowledge is essentially crucial; thus, governments and communities offer a wide range of opportunities where an individual can expand their knowledge. However, one contentious debate is whether it is better to have in-depth knowledge of a subject or a general understanding of all areas. No one can dispute that each option has both advantages and disadvantages. However, if I had to pick, I would rather have a solid foundation in one area than broad knowledge of everything. I stand by my view for several reasons, which I will develop in the subsequent paragraphs.

To begin with, if one is talented at one subject, one can determine their dreams and goals. Many students have difficulty finding their ambition and interests in school. Hence, many students come to college unprepared and hesitant about what to major in, and in most cases, their life plan stalls since they try to explore. However, if one is good at a particular field from an early age, one does not have to worry about it, and one can set their goal and reach it quickly. I must admit that my experience has significantly impacted how I feel about this issue. You see, at a young age, I was intrigued by magazines and articles since they contained interesting topics and illustrated creativity in diverse ways. I began to work hard in my writing creativity and student media club after that peak of interest, allowing me to decide to study communication and media during my university years.

On top of that, the potential to be a top player in a field allows for respect and recognition. Usually, people talented in many domains care about many departments, so it is challenging to succeed in one specialty. However, if one works hard in a specific major, one can become an expert in that field. Drawing from my sister's experience, although she is average in other subjects like language arts and biology, she is very good at math, so students and professors call her Ms. Albert Eisten. Students always ask her if they have a tricky math problem. Therefore, if one excels in one field like this, people will recognize and respect them.

Based on the reasons mentioned, I firmly believe it is better to grow and excel in one field than in many subjects.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
