In schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects, while boys choose science subjects. What is the reason? Should the trend be changed?

Boys

and

girls

have to divide

subjects

when they are in high school and college and choose their favourite

subjects

for

further

study. Usually, in science classes, the number of

boys

far outnumbers

girls

, but in liberal

arts

classes, the opposite is true; the number of

girls

far outnumbers

boys

.

However

, I think

this

trend should change. On the one hand, there is a general understanding of the division of labour between men and women in society, and

this

stereotype has been solidified. It is believed that

boys

should study science and

girls

should choose liberal

arts

. Under the influence of

this

social atmosphere, young people sometimes do not follow their own hearts in their choice of

arts

and sciences but choose to follow the crowd blindly.

This

leads to the phenomenon that

boys

choose science and

girls

choose liberal

arts

.

On the other hand

,

boys

and

girls

have larger biological differences, and

boys

are generally stronger and have better physical strength than

girls

.

Therefore

, in terms of job choices,

girls

are more inclined to choose lighter jobs,

while

boys

can accept even if they are tired.

This

is an important reason why

boys

and

girls

choose

subjects

differently.

This

trend needs to be changed.

Firstly

,

boys

should not be divided into

subjects

; they should be able to choose the

subjects

they like. We all know that people are more productive when they do things they enjoy rather than things they dislike. Students should choose the

subjects

they like so that they can develop their expertise in the field they are good at and make more contributions to society.

Secondly

, allowing them to choose their favourite

subjects

will enable them to choose their preferred career direction after graduation.

This

will increase their life satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.
