It is often said that in these days, people have skilled at many fields because they do many activities. However, I believe people have fewer fields that they are skilled at for two reasons: they don't have enough time to develop other skills, and society needs people with few strong skills.
To begin with, shortage of time plays a significant role in reducing specialized skills. This is because people have so many activities to do that one can be exhausted, and tries to rest when they have free time. Thus, people are less likely to get new skills. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2007, people are suffered from too much work load, and activities. The result showed that 92 percent of adult who are actively working, work more than 12 hours a day. It also suggested that those people have only about an hour a day for their free time. This implies that people don't have time for self-development, but rest.
In addition, today's society promotes people with one strong specialized field. This is due to the fact that most of companies want to hire professionals who possess specialty. Thus, people are more likely to focus on developing one skill, than to be well-rounded. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2009, researchers compared the number of major-related class taken by students graduated in 2000, and in 2009. The result showed that students who graduated in 2000 had taken 16 major-related classes, while students who graduated in 2009 had taken 18.8 major-related classes. This implies that students of nowadays focus more on their majors, not their elective courses.
In brief, lack of free time, and social pressure result in people having fewer skills. All in all, 마무리를 못하겠어요.ㅠ,,ㅠ | |
