Nowadays, it is argued, that in some schools and universities there is a high tendency of girls choosing art subjects and boys choosing science subjects and
this

should be changed. I do not agree with the statement above, because of two reasons.
First
Linking Words
of all, girls as much as boys are influenced by external factors when it comes to choosing a subject to study.
Moreover

, they are seeking to pursue what their ancestors did, and most of the time, females prefer the area what their mother studied, and males what their father did. I am an example of
this

myself, and I could never learn science, neither my mother, and
this
Linking Words
is why I have chosen to do what she did, everything related to literature.
Secondly

another reason why I disagree with changing

tendency is, because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to choose what it wants, and in which way would want to live its life.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, everyone has different interests and beliefs, and no one should try to change somebody's mind.
In addition
Linking Words
, girls were always better in social and art subjects than boys, maybe because they are more emotional and art requires
this

kind of calmness and warm. In the meantime, boys will always do better in science,
such

as mechanics, physics, chemistry because

which girls do not have. In conclusion, I do not agree with changing someone's interests, because it could affect in a negative way their future by making it more complicated.
