Some netizens asked, who is more open, "generalist" or "specialist"?

I believe that society needs not only "specialists", but also "generalists". From a certain point of view, "generalists" are more open than "specialists".

"Specialists", as the name suggests, refer to people with deep professional knowledge and skills in a certain field. They have an outstanding performance in their field and can make an important contribution to the development of society.

"Generalists" refer to those who have comprehensive quality, comprehensive knowledge and multiple skills. They also use their knowledge and skills to contribute to society. "Specialists" and "generalists" have their own strengths and uses. However, "specialists" often struggle to excel in other fields, despite having excellent knowledge and skills in their own field. When faced with cross-domain and interdisciplinary problems, they may feel overwhelmed and difficult to cope. As a result, it is no longer possible for professionals with a single skill and knowledge to meet the diverse needs of society. For example, it is impossible for the current grassroots hospitals to be equipped with specialists in various departments. Even if there are one or two highly skilled specialists, it is difficult to meet the medical needs of the people. Because most of the patients in primary hospitals are chronic diseases and underlying diseases, they do not need too many specialists, but on the contrary, they need many interdisciplinary general practitioners to provide patients with continuous and comprehensive medical services.

Abroad, general practitioners account for more than 30% to 60% of the total number of doctors, and health services account for more than half. At present, primary hospitals encourage doctors to develop into general practitioners. The state also attaches great importance to the construction of the team of general practitioners, and many provinces and cities have issued implementation plans to reform and improve the incentive mechanism for the training and use of general practitioners. This fully shows that interdisciplinary "generalists" are also welcomed and expected by society.

From the perspective of each individual, "generalist" is also very important. For example, a university graduate majoring in Chinese language and literature goes to school to apply for a job. However, the school needs to be supplemented not by a language teacher, but by a history teacher. If the student is also accomplished in history, he may be hired.

From this, we can see that "specialists" and "generalists" are both important talents needed by society. From a certain point of view, "generalists" may be more open than "specialists".
