question:  What might the story be trying to point out?
context: And, what was more important, why she couldn't adjust herself to it, now that she was in. It said in the Civil Service Guide to Prison Administration : "Detainees will be permitted to speak in their own behalf in disciplinary proceedings." The direction of evolution is toward specialization and Man is no exception, but with the difference that his is the one species that creates its own environment in which to specialize. From the moment that clans formed, specialization began—the hunters using the weapons made by the flint-chippers, the food cooked in clay pots made by the ceramists, over fire made by the shaman who guarded the sacred flame. The ultimate should be the complete segregation of each specialization—social and genetic measures to make them breed true, because the unspecialized man is an uncivilized man, or at any rate he does not advance civilization. Putting it into law was only the legal enforcement of a demonstrable fact. It was a perfectly good civil-service position—better than post-office clerk, not as good as Congressman, but a job you could be proud to hold. When you're in it, you don't much care what it is called; it is a place for punishment.

The two guards turned to see what was coming in as the three new candidates for the Greensleeves slumped to a stop at the head of the stairs. The outside guard said sourly: "A woman, for God's sake. The outside guard pulled the switch that turned on the tanglefoot electronic fields that swamped the floor of the block corridor and of each individual cell. While the fields were on, you could ignore the prisoners—they simply could not move fast enough, against the electronic drag of the field, to do any harm.
output:  It goes against human nature to try to segregate people, no matter how it's done.
options:  A society of specialized people would be incredibly difficult to manage, and ultimately inefficient.  A society of specialized people would be incredibly difficult to manage, but worth it for the work that would get done.  People will always try to rebel against the system, no matter what form it's in.  It goes against human nature to try to segregate people, no matter how it's done.
