  1. It was so nice to read everyone else\u2019s assignments and see all the different directions we chose to pursue even though we were given the same prompts.  I found it really interesting that the majority of us chose very different topics and yet still managed to stay connected under the umbrella of diversity in the workplace.  Personally, I chose to narrow down the larger topic of diversity by concentrating on the smaller issue of women working in the police force, so I also really liked how Joanna did the same thing but with a different group of marginalized people: members of the LGBTQ+ community.  Joanna utilized many images that really helped drive her points home and I found it very moving when she included the quotes from LGBTQ+ people and their real life work experiences.  Another expansion to the canon that comes to mind is Sherri\u2019s.  Her decision to include a trailer to an HBO documentary was very enticing and made me much more interested.  I also liked the direction she took with the prompt because it expanded on the topic of hiring and the troubles that people with autism tend to experience during that process.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    3.The transition that stuck out to me the most occurred between paragraphs twelve and thirteen.  The last line of the twelfth paragraph is \u201c\u201dDiversity is just membership,\u201d Isbell said. \u201cIntegration is influence, power, and partnership.\u201d\u201d  This line leads into the next, \u201cBut integration is much harder than diversity\u201d.  This particular transition was very compelling for me because I believe it is the one that changed the direction of the entire article.  Before paragraph twelve, the article mostly concentrated on representation in computing, but as we can see with this transition, its new focus is now on integration and its importance.  Leading up to this transition, Bogost quotes Isbell saying \u201cAre we interested in diversity, or are we interested in integration?\u201d.  This makes the reader contemplate everything they had previously heard thus far and prepared them for the change in tone for the rest of the article.  After these paragraphs, the article focuses more on bigger companies and how discrimination occurs despite some of their good intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
