In some schools and universities, girls tend to choose art (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?

We can tell a lot about a student by the

subject

they choose in their university.

While

girls are believed to have opted for an art

subject

(e.g. literature), boys are believed to have a liking for

science

subjects (e.g. physics). In

this

essay, I will give some reasons as to why

this

happens and explain my view with examples.

Firstly

, each and every individual has a liking of their own. There might be a possibility

criteria

to choose from.

On the other hand

, family pressure plays an essential role in the

subject

that boys choose.

For instance

, a survey presented by BBC revealed that around 75% of male students opted for

science

as their

course

under peer pressure.

Secondly

, I believe parents should allow their children to pursue any

subject

of their choice.

In addition

For example

that girls are more likely to choose arts and boys have a liking for

, I believe it should be left upon the individuals to choose a stream which they like.

This

would not only make them confident, but they would gain expertise in their primary profession.
