1.) \u201cProviding a more concrete understanding of what a perceived stereotype threat could be allows the intended audience to reflect and comprehend these said threats whether the individual reading experiences them or not.\u201d This quote from a classmates expanding the canon post really caught my attention. Its interesting to me, because it proves that individuals who haven\u2019t experienced any type of discrimination, can still learn about that type of discrimination. This is important, because if more people are educated on a type of discrimination, the more people will take action, and try to do something about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a single company sponsors or promotes one specific kind of religion, this is questionable.\u201d I really like this quote from a classmate\u2019s expanding the cannon post, because it made me aware of a new type of discrimination that is being seen in the work place. This type of discrimination is religious discrimination. The author of this quote explores ways in which a religion, like christianity, could become the typical religion of a work place. If this is so, it creates a hierarchy of religions in the work place. If Christians were at the type of this pyramid structure, lets say that Jews are in the middle, and muslims and hindus are at the bottom. The religions below the popular and typical religion in the work place, may face discrimination for not being the typical religion.<\/p>\n
The following Ted Talk video really stood out to me. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7365IO9l-tw
\nThe speaker identified an example of a law suit between a muslim women and Abercrombie and Fitch. In this example, the women had been denied a position at the clothing shop, because of something as simple as her head scarf. This is outrageous and a clear example of discrimination in the work place, especially religious discrimination within the work place.<\/p>\n
3.) The following is the closing line of a paragraph written by Bogost. \u201cThat makes diversity a necessary but insufficient solution to social equity in computing systems.\u201d The following is the beginning of the next paragraph. \u201cFor years, companies and educators in the tech sector have framed diversity as a \u201cpipeline\u201d problem.\u201d The transition seen in this example by Bogost is smooth. A reason why this is a great transition, is because Bogost ends the paragraph expressing how diversity in the tech industry is a problem. Then, the next paragraph is related to the end of the prior paragraph, because Bogost writes a sentence that will lead into explaining a potential solution for this issue. So, Bogost ends one paragraph by identifying the issue of diversity in the tech industry, and starts the next paragraph by offering a solution for the problem. This makes for a smooth and effective transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
