In many schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects (e.g. languages) and boys choose science subjects (e.g. Physics). What do you think are the reasons? Do you think that this tendency should be changed?

Back in history, educational opportunities had been dedicated to males,

while

females were deprived of schooling. These days

although

educational opportunities are equally distributed to both genders,

however

, in choosing a major, there are still some social pressures based on gender. Most of the lasses study vocational subjects,

whereas

lads are more interested in non-vocational

majors

. In

this

,essay I will explore

this

issue, and I firmly believe that

this

trend must be changed. The first and foremost reason for

this

matter is rotten conventional thoughts, which have been carried through years. A proper woman is the one who stays at home and raises their offspring. They do house chores and their spare time could be dedicated to making art.

In contrast

, men were known as breadwinners, who were responsible for handling financial matters. Despite years of battling against gender inequalities,

show examples

this

mindset has been inherited from generation to generation. In

this

stereotype, girls are more sensitive, they are not responsible for making money, so they are the best choice for making art,

while

boys are intelligent with financial responsibilities,

therefore

they ought to master science

majors

.

In addition

, it is believed that science-based potentially gives people a brighter future, as many elegant jobs are associated with a science background. Meaning non-vocational

majors

provide preparation for high-paid jobs in future, in contradiction artists,

such

as Van Gogh, would die in poverty. So, if an individual studies in one of the science

majors

, their career's future would be guaranteed.

To conclude

, since gender stereotypes remain, there will be unbalanced statistics between females and males in choosing university subjects.

This

trend should be changed by raising awareness of

this

matter that there is no difference between a girl and a boy.
