Nowadays, not enough students choose science subjects in university in many countries. What are the reasons for this problem? What are the effects on the society?

It is increasing in some countries that students tend to choose non-

science

subjects

in

university

. There are a variety of reasons for

this

phenomenon, including individual preferences, influences from families and guidance of

society

. The effects of

this

trend have been shown negatively on

society

. Regarding the reasons causing that more and more students are not willing to

study

science

-related

subjects

in

university

, it could be influenced by individuals, families and

society

.

Firstly

, the standard of living in many countries has been increased largely in recent years which gives young

people

access to some fields

such

as art, music and sports and more

people

find out their interests and talents in those fields,

therefore

they would like to

study

deeper and have careers in those directions.

Secondly

, some parents believe that scientists would not earn as much money as other professionals

such

as lawyers, software engineers and financial professionals, which could impact significantly their children’s choices of

subjects

in

university

.

Finally

,

society

lacks promotions about the benefits of studying

science

subjects

which leads to fewer

people

knowing about the importance of

science

to

society

.

For example

, there are fewer public activities online and offline related to

science

education compared to entertainment events like concerts or tv shows. The effects of fewer

people

engaged in the scientific area could be stagnation and regression of development of the

society

. From the history of modern

society

, we know that

science

contributes hugely to the growth of technology, the medical industry and the economy.

For example

, computers were invented based on mathematics and the

study

of genetics empowers doctors to have the ability to cure diseases like cancer.

However

, there are still many things we do not know

such

as the origin of the earth, the space and the intelligence of human beings. If fewer and fewer

people

are involved in the investigation of those questions, it could cause less innovation and revolution to happen and would be a bottleneck for the development of our

society

. In conclusion, different factors from individuals, families and

society

lead to the lack of

people

who would like to

study

in the

science

field in

university

in many nations, and

this

would bring negative effects on the

society

as I have mentioned in

this

essay.
