The
first article I found is from DotDiva.com, and what their article is about is
why girls are so turned off by computer science. Even though girls are doing
really well in math and science, they see Computer science as “Nerdy”, “Boring”,
and “Antisocial”. For teen girls this career does not deliver, they want a
career that is fulfilling and bring a better change in the world, and to them
being in a computer creating a program does not bring change in the world.
This
article’s argument is strong, because Computer Science does not seem as a girl
major, at all. From an early age girls are depicted as a gender who likes
dolls, make-up, books, and being in touch with themselves, while guys are more
rowdy, loud, and stubborn. Also they see computer science as hard, as
programmers have to solve problems in programs, and find bugs for hours and
hours.
