REFLECTION

Reflections

            So at first when I first developed my research question I was a little skeptical to say the least, to be honest I just picked it out of nowhere without really thinking about if they were actual information out there regarding unpopularity in computer science, but when I started digging up information about it, I started to shy away from the generalization of computer science to a specific category which was girls, and then I started having more information, but the articles that I have found were useless, not bad, but no the information I was looking for.

            When I did the project on social pressures with my team I started to do some critical thinking on my question again, and I said to myself “Let’s try again” and I got back to researching, and I found way more stuff and much concrete explanations’, not only that I watched the movie “Jobs” and that movie also made me figure out why girls were not into computer science and the number one reason was because of social pressures in school, but not so much in family. So the movie and the articles I found when I was doing my unit 2 essay helped me understand that there were a lot of factors in why there were no girls in computer science is because its not popular to  be a geek in high school.
