In schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts while boys like science. What are the reasons for this trend and do you think this tendency should be changed?

Many argue that

arts

are only suitable for

girls

,

while

science

is an option for

boys

in schools and universities. I think that there exist several obvious reasons behind

this

tendency and I believe some of them should be altered. There are several reasons why female students tend to choose

arts

and male students prefer

science

.

Firstly

, they choose these

subjects

because they are interested in them.

For example

,

girls

enjoy cute and romantic things, so they often choose art. Another reason for

this

trend is that our community still holds gender prejudices toward guys and ladies from birth. Females are thought to be skilled in activities related to the

arts

,

such

as cooking or painting.

On the other hand

, parents may believe that if their son is a "real man," he needs to excel in

science

and perform well on exams in school and university.

As a result

,

boys

and schoolgirl may choose their

subjects

based on gender stereotypes and their parents' wishes rather than their interests or passions.

However

, I suppose students have the right choice of which ability they are willing to develop at school and university by registering

subjects

that they know about their strengths and interests so that they are more likely to become successful in the future.

Furthermore

, society should have an open view about what careers is for female and what is for male, not lean on those backward gender prejudices. In conclusion,

although

girls

frequently want to learn

arts

and

boys

favour

science

more, both

boys

and

girls

should equally have the chance to take their options about

subjects

at school and universities.
