<p>Q) Are all important discoveries the result of focusing on one subject?</p>
<p>While focusing on one subject can often play an important role in discoveries they are not always needed for people to discover and invent new things.The scientific world provides distinct examples where discoveries have been made. Both Alexander Fleming and Gregory Mendel are notable scientists who made extremely significant discoveries even though they were not focussed on that aspect of their field.</p>
<p>Upon inception, penicillin was regarded as a wonder-drug that could cure any illness and this new cure resolved many ailments from gangrene to tuberculosis. However, its discovery was actually a result of a complete accident by Alexander Fleming who was not out to find such a pill, When I woke up...I certainly didnt plan to revolutionise all medicine. But I suppose that was exactly what I did. This quote encapsulates the idea that Flemings discovery of penicillin was completely by chance and that he was not focused on one aspect of life. Fleming was a professor at the University of London as well as serving throughout WWI as a medic illustrating his lack of focus on just one subject. From this we can understand that not all important discoveries are the result of focusing on one facet of science and life.</p>
<p>Another major discovery in the scientific world was made by Gregory Mendel, posthumously credited as the father of genetics. His realisation that traits could be transmitted across generations through his work with peas was completely by accident. Through his mathematical acumen, he was able to sort through thousands of entries about the different colours of the peas he was growing at his monastery and realised that these colours could be predicted through probability. This fortuitous discovery was not the result of his focus upon just one subject as he was involved within his monastery, furthering his amateur mathematics as well as taking care of many bee hives and other plants highlighting that focusing on one subject does not always play an important role in discoveries.</p>
<p>From close analysis of both scientists lives we can see that focusing on one subject does not always lead to discoveries as both Mendel and Fleming made their findings fortuitously. While many figures and discoveries are a result of dedicated focus on one subject many others are not and thus it is incorrect to claim that all important discoveries are the result of focusing on one subject.</p>
