	Opinion essay about the article "Some Garbage I Used to Believe About Equality" by Johnathan Nightingale

	I used to believe that gender inequalities wasn’t a generalized problem in the XXI century, that with globalization we all
	were mingled and cool with each other, all feeling part of the Humankind. However, a friend of mine who identifies as Latina
	was telling me recently how going to an interview for a tech position, she was stopped by the security guard of the building.
	When she asked where she was going and she told the reason why she was there, the guard start laughing at her in a grotesque
	manner. That made me realize how naive I was, I had been living in a mental utopia all this time.

	I strongly believe that inequality is a conversation where we all should participate. Often times we make it look that this
	is a situation that white men are causing with their attitude but in fact, it is a problem that we all are causing with our

	Cheating in computer science can be a little tricky in terms of moral perception. On the one hand there are so many open
	sources and shared code in places like GitHub that can create a feeling that it's ok to borrow solutions for problems that
	other people previously encountered. However, I see a clear distinction between googling seeking for inspiration/advice about
	how to solve a specific small challenge in your project and copying an entire project code and make it looks you produced it.
	I can understand how stressful can be the tought that you will be graded for a project and that you passing or failing the
	course might depend on it. However, if you are studying a subject, the final goal is not to get an A+ but to learn a skill and
	be good doing that job so more serious than cheating your teachers is cheating yourself and jeopardizing your future for
	stealing that learning. For me taking somebody's code plus not understanding what it does is like taking somebody's pills
	without having been prescribed no

	##Comment of the article "My Year in Startup Hell" by Dan Lyons

	Tech companies are always surrounded by a special halo that everybody admire. However, as the article states working there
	is not made for everybody. Most of them have defined what they call "company culture" that is basically a series of rituals,
	behavior and even mindset that feels more like joining a cult than starting in a new workplace. These companies provide all
	sorts of free services and internal social activities to create a playground atmosphere and make your workmates become your
	best friends. Who wouldn't like to work in a place like that? If you are a person who likes to express your honest opinion
	and have a life outside work these type of companies might not be the right ones for you to work for. Free thinkers can be a
	threat to this Truman Show paradise so they will be quickly invited to graduate, as HubSpot call it, from that artificially
	ideal experience.

	The tech industry, especially in Silicon Valley is very competitive and alienated of the rest of the world. Fortunately this
	cult for figures/business and hostile environment doesn't happen everywhere in the sector. For example, in the local scenes
	tech communities are extremely supportive, welcoming, inclusive and considerate. On the other hand, technology definitely has
	big effects in society and is modeling it such as people trusting what's published on social media, businesses like Uber,
	Airbnb or Amazon threatening the existance of local businesses or self-driven trucks taking jobs from people. Because as the
	article mentions, when people become numbers and reality data, you can't expect humain behaviors plus in general companies'goals
	(especially big ones) are always profit and growth. For this reason, it's important that staff working at them, developers in
	general and users demand that people should always go first and denounce any different behavior/strategy that can harm them.
	Everybody should

	##Review about article "At Harvey Mudd College, the Ratio of Women in Computer Science Increased from 10% to 40% in 5 Years"

	I think that it's a great idea to do things to bring more members of minorities to the tech industry. The only effective way
	to do it is to make it more attractive and provide a welcoming atmosphere for whoever we want to open it to. In the case of
	women, promoving more team work as they are more gregarious in general, creating a female friendly community and showing the
	social value of the project can definitely work. Another factor that is a great tool offering mentor opportunities with other
	females as a role model and a person to reach that can better describe and understand how it feels being a woman in a
	predominant male sector. Supporting groups such as "Women Who Code" or "Girl Develop It" are also crucial to build the sense
	that women in tech is not an exception anymore but the norm.
