Specialization - Journal 5

The debate over the problem of specialization is a topic that I found quite interesting. I learned that some scholars’ feel that it is more important to have individuals specialize in and expand a great deal of comprehension in certain areas while others feel that it takes away from the general learning of subjects. There has been specific proposals for curricular reform that Stephen North describes; secession, corporate compromise and fusion. If specialization became too advanced we won’t be able to have any meaningful conversations with colleagues. There has been a debate between linguistics and literary critics because they value either the objective analysis or subjective critique and in this case it has caused much conflict.
