Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject.
To what extent do you agree of disagree?
The gap between the total number of male students and its counterpart of female students in certain majors gets increasingly big in universities throughout the world. This provokes the suggestion on balancing numbers of different gender freshmen while enrolling.
Several arguments are put forward to support this viewpoint. First of all, accepting equal number of male and female students in every subject can provide greater opportunities to each individuals for working and studying with the opposite gender which is rather beneficial for young generation's mental growth. Besides, it is necessary for students to get know of the living and working ways of the other gender. This is one of the vital steps before they get into the society. Therefore, the number of male and female students in every subject should be balanced.
However, there are several adverse opinions voiced by people who do not think balancing the number is a good idea. To begin with, students choose their majors, some are easier for boys to learn while some for girls, mainly according to their preferences. The preferences are mainly generated by students' characteristics and features of provided subjects and they cannot be easily changed by human force. In addition, the imbalance of men and women in general population indicated the imbalance of male and female students when going to colleges. If the fixed number was given to every major, it indirectly means the deprivation of the right to choose what students want to learn and study. It is against people's pursuit of freedom and right. So the so-called "balance" should not be implemented.
As far as I am concerned, equalizing the number of different gender students in universities' admission cannot benefit either students or colleges. Except the above reasons, I hold that there is no need to give more chances to students for learning from the opposite gender after their hanging out together over 10 years. They need to get used to the natural study atmosphere in campus and be well prepared for their future work life after their graduation. Only when the lack of talents in one certain field is too obvious, should the balance be taken into effect.
