  1. I think the most fascinating commonality that was beaming through everyone\u2019s canons was the focus on improving the diversity within the workplace. Although,\u00a0I found it fascinating how many combatting demographics there are when promoting this said diversity. Even the smallest of differentiators like religion, age, maybe even hair color\/texture can certainly be looked at when addressing the success and diversity of a\u00a0company. One of the most captivating media pieces I found, which had me think about organizational culture in a different way, was classmate Bryan\u2019s TED Talk link focusing on how language changes the way we speak. I find that this was something that I simply overlooked, how the transmission of conversation within a workplace should be diverse and reach\u00a0to many demographics not just focusing on one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    3. The paragraph I decided to focus on was a huge traditional paragraph, in my opinion, that changed the course of the article. The paragraph starting with \u201cWebb says her airport experiences can be\u2026\u201d all the way to \u201c…and they will serve the population better\u201d was a seamless transition. Introducing the article with Webb\u2019s personal experience was a great way to captivate the attention of the reader, hoping that it may be a somewhat relatable experience or one that the reader could place themselves into Webb\u2019s shoes. This paragraph brought together Webb\u2019s personal story and how demographically skewed computer systems are programmed to be in a manner that was almost undetected. Bringing the key points of Webb\u2019s story to mind as they aligned perfectly with the purpose of the article is certainly not easy, but the way Bogost blended these two together is astounding.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
