10. In some schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects (e.g. literature), and boys tend to choose science subjects (e.g. physics). Why do you think this is so? Should this tendency be changed? Do you agree or disagree?

It's no brainer that girls are more creative and boys have comparatively higher IQ. Creativity is always reflected in some form of art and IQ comes with analytics and logical reasoning.
This
 is one of the reasons why women prefer arts and men go with science.
Although
 it's not mandatory to go with the traditional approach,
instead
 both genders should be allowed to choose the course according to their interests. In the below thesis, I will justify my argument. We come from a patriarchal society, where males were allowed to do all the work to earn income to support family needs,
on the other hand
, females were only allowed to do household chores.
This
 upbringing resulted in girls selecting creative subjects which are only restricted to working on the four walls like painting, sketching, cooking, drawing, etc.
On the other hand
, boys selected science and mathematics subjects to build their career path in order to secure a good job; in their senior secondary and during their graduation period. Equal opportunities should be given to both genders to prove their skills and based on that they should be allowed to select the respective curriculum. We no longer live in a male-dominated society and everyone should be given a fair opportunity to present themselves and to showcase the skills they have. Teachers and parents should provide proper mentorship and guidance to their students and children respectively and
also
 give them a plethora of options to choose from.
However
, in my opinion, the trends need to be changed and girls should be allowed to explore more options
instead
 of just selecting arts in their school or in their graduation.
This
 won't only provide more opportunities but would
also
 give fair competition to the boys.
