Hi,

Please review my 2nd issue.Thanks in advance!

In our time, specialists of all kinds are highly overrated. We need more generalist – people who can provide broad perspectives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In today’s modern world everything is viewed through the eyes of a specialist. Be it in the field of science, medicine or engineering, things are specialized to an incommensurable degree. We tend to believe or perceive that anything that has specialized features has more efficacy than its generalized counterpart, eventually the former being overrated.

Specialization as the word implies is meant to cater to specific needs, improving the quality, enabling faster root cause analysis and eventually attaining precision, reliability and efficacy. In every walks of our lives we see this in different forms. From our household gadget to our profession we encounter specialization. For instance, an oculist specialized in identifying eye diseases are preferred over a general physician when it comes to problems related to the eye. Specialists in various fields have contributed immensely to its development, made many intricacies soluble and slaked the dubious minds of scientists .One best example that can be cited is the revelations of DNA study, that has helped the world in many different ways. Researchers have come up with various results that have shocked the world. Cloning that seemed specious once is possible now. This can be attributed to the specialized researches and studies of DNA, its structures and various operations that can be performed on it.

The effects of specialization are progressive and specialists are essential. But, specialists cannot completely usurp the generalists –people who can provide broader perspectives. They should co-exist. Specialization emerges from crude but a powerful general concept. For instance, when Benjamin Franklin first identified electricity or charge, It was just a theory or concept. Now, it has emerged in to a branch of study with various bifurcations within it such as power systems, electronics, instrumentation etc...Without a generic study of what electricity is, can we specialize and understand the intricacies of the subject? Likewise, generalists are our most reliable guides, or pointers to specialist. Let me illustrate this. Illness is first consulted with a general physician, who analysis symptoms and if required directs us to a specialist. Though the specialist finally assuages our needs, general physical has contributed much in identifying the specialization required.

The importance of specialists and generalists in any field cannot be ignored. However, specialists of all kinds are overrated. The nature of specialization, remuneration, complexity level of the field, qualification required for the specialization, paucity of specialists may be reasons for specialists being looked upon with great esteem. For instance a surgeon who performs plastic surgery, liposuction and all other cosmetic enhancements would be held with high esteem because of the elite clients whom he serves. Similarly, a heart surgeon would be esteemed for his extensive ability to identify intricate heart problems and save lives.

While now it may be clear that Specialists and generalists are equally important , it should also be apparent that both groups should co-exist, eventually contributing for the betterment their fields. Also, the symbiosis relationship would further enhance quality and efficacy.
