TOEFL Essay Week 9

There has been an ongoing debate over whether or not there should be an equal number of male and female students in every lecture. Some are against this stance, arguing that this policy can discourage students from thinking creatively. However, others firmly believe that male and female students can learn different perspectives from one another. I agree with the former position and present my reasons below.
To begin with, what is the policy of maintaining the equal number of males and females in class intended to accomplish? Even if this is plausible, in my opinion, it sounds possible just in theory, but not in actual practice. This is not only because each person has different tastes, but also because males and females usually have dissimilar interests. One can see this fact, relating to students’ choice of major. To illustrate, there were 34 female and 5 male students in my department (French language and literature), at undergraduate school. This proportion equates to approximately seven to one. In my department, female students demonstrated more interest in French. Many studies have revealed that women possess more abilities connected to humanities, whereas men excel in engineering, or abilities related to math. Accordingly, the policy seems to prevent students from truly enhancing their aptitudes.
Even assuming the scenario above is plausible; people who disagree with my view argue that students can improve themselves by being exposed to a different gender in the classroom. This is attributable, in general, to the notion that women better handle details than men do; yet, men can take care of larger scale ideas easier than women. I still, however, emphasize my idea because there is a more important matter to consider: The policy is not conducive to our individual ingenuity.
If each country’s Ministry of Education establishes this policy, every subject at universities will become a compulsory one. All schools will attempt to control the percentage of males and females in every class. Eventually, this effort will be detrimental to students’ learning. They would be frequently urged to take unwanted classes for the purpose of arriving at the perfect proportion of genders. In stead of this, universities should offer autonomies where students can pursue in-depth knowledge as well as expand their horizons in their fields.
To summarize, although each person may hold a different position on this issue, in my case, after considering all sides I am for the idea of allowing students to determine for themselves what classes they take to fulfill their individual courses of study.. I have two reasons for this. One is that people have different interests. The other is that mandatory curriculums can have a negative impact on students.
