  1. The first rhetorical move that I noticed in Bogost\u2019s article \u201cThe Problem with Diversity in Computing\u201d was in the first few paragraphs.\u00a0 It begins with a personal anecdote and the fifth paragraph sums it up nicely when it quotes Webb, the storyteller, stating that \u201cher airport experience can be traced back to the fact that \u201csomeone like me wasn\u2019t in the room\u201d when the system was designed, or when it was trained on images of human forms, or when it was tested before rollout\u201d.\u00a0 This experience sets up the focus of the article and leads into the main argument.<\/li>
  2. Another rhetorical move that I noticed was that Bogost uses the device logos frequently throughout his article, but specifically when he states, \u201cAt Google, for example, more that 95 percent of technical workers are white or Asian\u201d.\u00a0 This quote helps solidify the argument that the reader has seen so far.<\/li>
  3. \u201cIt will also give more people of color access to the economic opportunities the tech industry offers.\u00a0 But there\u2019s a risk of tokenization; inviting a black man or a curly haired woman into the room could make a difference in the design of the systems that produced Webb\u2019s experience at airport security\u201d.\u00a0 This quote from the article shows the Bogost started off with a sentence that helps his argument, but in the next sentence we see that he actually contradicts his previous statement.<\/li>
  4. When Bogost quoted Isbell, he made me rethink the article thus far and contemplate what the argument in now trying to prove. \u201cDiversity is just membership,\u201d Isbell said. \u201cIntegration is influence, power, and partnership.\u201d<\/li>
  5. The final rhetorical move that I noticed was when, in the last paragraph, Bogost goes back to Webb\u2019s anecdote in the beginning stating \u201cFor Webb, the underrepresentation of women, black people, and others is a real problem, but it\u2019s not the fundamental one. \u201cWe\u2019re all discriminated against by computing.\u201d\u201d Bogost reaches his final argument the computing discriminates against everyone which leads him to wrap it up in the last paragraph.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
