The selection of
science
-related modules is currently trending downward. Adolescents are more interested in fields like finance, marketing, IT and so on, rather than courses like microbiology and marine
science
. People avoid
science
for a variety of reasons, some of which will be covered in
this
essay
along with
the impacts it is having on society.
To begin
, more young people choose to major in fields associated with economics, accounting, and information technology than in
science
. Recent changes have been applied to
this
trend.
Due to
the COVID situation, working from home and distance learning gained more popularity.
Therefore
, it would be much easier to teach business-related courses online than
science
-related ones. To illustrate an example, Sri Lankans were very interested in microbiology, and the milk sector had an immense demand for
this
.
However
, the
students
must participate in practical sessions and field training,
while
software engineering gives all knowledge and simplifies the instruction online.
Additionally
, in the past, people who studied
science
were respected by society and seen to be literate, which is not the case anymore. Engineers are less prominent in the public eye than other career choices
such
as YouTubers and Tik-Tokers. Apart from recognition, you can make more money than
science
students
in above mentioned professions by working less harder or not at all on your studies.
The declining number of
science
graduates is an alarming situation for everyone. The world we live in was constructed with the contribution of
science
, and now, because of climate change, is the perfect time for
science
to help us solve
this
issue. Because fewer scientific
students
equal fewer innovations in technology, the quantity of
science
students
will have a direct impact on how quickly and how hard we fight
this
war against climate change.
Furthermore
, despite the decrease in population in some scientific disciplines, work is still being done by qualified experts.
For instance
, in the event of COVID, researchers from around the globe are devotedly working to develop a vaccine.
As a result
, plenty of vaccinations were being invented at that time.
This
still does not mean that we shall not face consequences in the longer term regarding the shortage of
science
experts.
In conclusion, youngsters avoid
science
due to
various factors,
such
as convenience, hard work, respect and so on. Unfortunately, the effects on the community will be apparent through a range of forms soon.
