In some schools and universities, girls tend to choose arts subjects (e.g., literature, history), and boys tend to choose science subjects (e.g., physics, mathematics). Why do you think this is so? Should this tendency be changed?
There is a noticeable dissimilarity between girls and boys in choosing majors at universities. More boys participate in scientific majors, while more girls prefer art subjects. This tendency is influenced by the unique biological functions of each gender and outdated societal prejudices. I firmly believe that society can benefit if more girls participate in scientific classes.
