4. "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."
Although it sounds extreme when author claims that ant field of study can make progress “only” with the help of outsiders of the field, for the most part, I agree with the author in that professionals from outside the field can make a significant contribution to the progress of a field of study such as business, politics and arts. First, in the realm of business, it is very common to observe many professionals outside of business are brought into business field. For instance, in an effort to increase the sales revenue, many companies assiduously finds a way to understand minds of consumers by employing psychologists for their marketing research departments. Through the study of the psychology of consumers, the advancement of study of marketing strategy can significantly improve. Additionally, in preparation to protect companies from various liability issues, many companies hire their own company attorneys so that attorneys can study the ways to protect the company from possible loss through any lawsuits. The involvement of these outside professionals made it possible to advance not only practical progress but also academic progress in marketing strategy or commercial legal aspects. The realm of politics is the area that involves the most professionals outside this field because public leaders have to deal with a diverse issues and problems domestically and internationally. In order to be an effective policy maker and to exercise great leadership, the leader has to have a thorough understanding of the needs of the people in the country. However, as leader is not omniscient, he will need a help from many professionals such as environmentalists, scientists, experts of international relationships, Asia or Europe and even translators so that he could communicate with the leaders from other countries. One might claim that certain field such as art is not in need of help of outsiders. For examples, musicians, painters or photographers can easily advance the field of arts only with their own expertise and skills. However, it is inevitable for even the artists to rely on other professionals at times. For instance, in the study of ancient arts or the arts where the origin of which are ambiguous, it is inevitable to resort to archeologists or other professionals that can scientifically examine the materials or condition of the arts to detect their origin. In sum, as complicated as world is, one problem or one aspect of field cannot be studied by excluding other factors that affect the field. For this reason, involvement of professionals outside the field will not only contribute to the expansion of the views on a subject but also bring a synergy effect in further advancing the growth of the field. |

Hi Hauser,
please evaluate my essay 4. "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study." The speaker, here, asserted that outside field expertise and knowledge is must for the advancement of any field of study. Undoubtedly, I support the statement of the speaker just because of the fact that we, human being, have categorized our field of study to attain certain goals of our life. For example, ‘science’ is used basically to decipher the mystery of the universe or beyond and for the technological advancement; ‘art’ is used to cultivate our culture and to know our topography and history of our evolution. However, none of these can exist without the help of other. Again, if we think about intra categorization like physics mathematics as a sub part of science and history and literature as of arts, then inter dependency is also required to go forward. With the above mentioned examples I will elaborate my views in detail to support my opinion. First, in support of our views on intra subject relationship, we are considering a scientific research organization, doing basic nuclear physics research using accelerators. The basic objective of the organization is to accelerate charged particles to bombard a target, made of say gold, to study the after effect of the phenomenon, by which the characteristics of certain unknown elements can be studied. The knowledge of nuclear physics will not suffice to achieve it without designing of an accelerator, which itself demand the involvement of several domain like mechanical, civil, cryogenics, electronics etc.. Moreover, the involvement of electronics to design a data acquisition system, which provides raw information of the phenomenon, is inevitable and furthermore the knowledge about computer science is also necessary to develop a software, which shows a realistic presentation of the event. Now, with the same example, if we proceed to discuss about inter relationship of two broad domains like ‘art’ and ‘science’, we will see that the study of different languages could not be avoided to do collaborative research, without which advancement of research is impossible. There are many examples where an entirely different field has been reached in very advanced stage during the study of a main field. The concept of internet is one of the examples which evolved during the collaborative research of European defense scientists, needed to interact amongst themselves using a virtual medium. Nowadays, the use of technology is everywhere in the field of arts. Video and audio technology is used extensively in film, music and theatre to make it more realistic. The knowledge of fields like history and geography are not limited in the text book, but can easily be available in the internet with proper graphical representation which interests many to study those subjects and henceforth helps the advancement. However, in contrast, there are certain fields do not require the involvement of outsiders for its advancements. As an example a painter shows the mastery of painting by his own skill. But, this is very narrow domain, compared to other. To conclude, I must say that all existed field somehow overlaps with each other because they are essentially converging to a main field which is mankind and the universe. |
