f we inspect only our toe-nails, we may conclude that the whole body is hard and white. Useful conclusions and thus perhaps useful inventions must come by sharing among specialists. Simply throwing out various discovieries means we have a pile of useless discoveries, it is only when one can make with them a mosaic that we can see that they may form a picture.

Not only may over-specialization be dangerous in terms of the truth, purity and cohesion of knowledge, but it can also serve to drown moral or universall issues. Generalists and only generalists can see a broad enough picture to realize and introduce to the world the problems of the environment. With specialization, each person focusses on their research and their goals. Thus, industrialization, expansion, and new technologies are driven ahead. Meanwhile no individual can see the wholisitc view of our global existence in which true advancement may mean stifling individual specialists for the greater good of all. Finally, over-specialization in a people's daily lives and jobs has meant personal and psychological compartmentalization. People are forced into pigeon holes early in life (at least by university) and must conciously attempt to consume external forms of stimuli and information in order not to be lost in their small and isolated universe. Not only does this make for narrowly focussed and generally pooprly-educated individuals, but it guarantees a sense of loss of community, often followed by a feeling of psychological displacement and personal dissatisfaction.

Without generalists, society becomes inward-looking and eventually inefficient. Without a society that recongnizes the impotance of braod-mindedness and fora for sharing generalities, individuals become isolated. Thus, while our form of society necessitates specialists, generalists are equally important. Specialists drive us forward in a series of thrusts while generalists make sure we are still on the jousting field and know what the stakes are.

阅卷人评语——6分
    这是对本话题非常优秀的分析——有思想，推理严谨，使用语言高效 。引言段提出了作者对这个问题的看法，并提出了作者将要展开的观点的背景：“在这个社会和技术快速变化的时代，生活变得越来越复杂，人们的心理状态也在转换……”

    论证过程本身包含了两个部分。第一个部分提出了专业化方面，主要是医学领域，有说服力的例子。第二个部分基于如下三个主要理由提出了同样有说服力的、组织严谨的例子来反驳过分专业化：
?    | 逻辑的角度（只精通某些知识的专家通常难以从宏观上理解）
?    | 道德的角度（通常“杂家”知道如何做到“上上善道”）
?    | 个人的角度（过早的专业化/分类会造成心理缺陷）
    本文严谨的论证线索还被有效地使用专家意见（来自于一位顶级医学研究着的引言）和生动的隐喻（仅仅看到一个人的脚趾甲会忽略整个身体）进一步加强。

    本文的特点还不仅仅是它的推理，它的语言准确并且经常使用比喻 （“深陷信息过载的马尾藻海中”，“一堆没用的发现，”以及“专家用一系列‘火箭推动力’迫使我们进步，而杂家让我们确信我们仍在‘格斗场’上”）。论证中的连接短语和观点使得观点有效组织并且向前推进论证，它们也不断引导读者继续阅读。这是一篇极其优秀的考试作文。
