In many schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects (eg. languages) and boys choose science subjects (eg. Physics). What do you think are the reasons? Do you think that this tendency should be changed?

In many schools and universities, girls tend to enrol on art disciplines

such

as language, whereas boys often show an inclination to

study

science

such

as physics. From my perspective, gender-specific abilities and personalities are instrumental in

this

, and

this

tendency is unnecessary to be changed. To start with, It is true that male and female are different in terms of intellectual abilities and

this

plays a key role in determining the subjects they choose to

study

. Recent research concluded that girls often show an aptitude for verbal and manual skills and they tend to be more patient, while boys often gravitate towards subjects required logical and lateral thinking skills

such

as math or physics.

Therefore

art

s they suit their innate abilities and personalities which is the same reason why boys choose to

study

science

. I think

this

tendency is unnecessary to be changed for two reasons.

First

, women are often considered to be homemakers of the family.

Hence

, working in the art industry might be less stressful than that in the

science

field, allowing women to have more time for household needs.

For example

, Vietnamese female scientists are usually under considerable pressure. Indeed, they have an extremely limited time for family and

this

results in broken families.

In contrast

, as men are stereotyped as a breadwinner in the family, so they should be encouraged to

study

science

as

this

is a lucrative industry which can help them support their families. In conclusion, I believe that gender differences in intellectual abilities lead to

this

tendency, and

this

trend is unnecessary to be changed as it helps men and women to keep their special roles in the family.
