Unit 4: Enriching Exchanges (1ère AMC)
Opening the door of science to Girls
The document under study is an extract of a speech pronounced/delivered
by the chief of the United Nations in February 2020. He speaks about the importance
of educating young girls. More precisely, he thinks that it is paramount to reach gender
parity in STEM studies (STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics). In fact, according to him, it is
important to reach gender parity in this filed in order
to move forward because girls can also bring a lot to this field. It is
a necessity to suppress
the male-dominated culture in science
in order to give the girls an opportunity to build these new skills to take an
active part in tomorrow’s society. It is a good thing to have a right balance
in this field in order for everyone to have a chance to succeed in life. Moreover, girls can be a real benefit for the society.
Therefore, it is important to fight against the
existing barriers that prevent girls from choosing careers based on STEM.
Homework: Learn the lesson.
