In the article "NYTimes: Exposing Hidden Biases at Google to Improve Diversity" the topic is about how biased a workplace, like Google, is. However, Google has realized this fact and is beginning to work towards a solution. It is shown by statistics in the article that most technologically based workplaces are 60%, or more, male, and only 40%, or less, female. This problem will take years to solve, as explained in the article, but can have fantastic results. For example, it is scientifically proven that a more diverse office or workplace will be more creative than a office dominated by a single race or sex. This links with racial bias because sexism and racism are based on similar beliefs, discrimination and prejudice, but are about two different things, race and sex.
Racial and sexual discrimination have been a problem for thousands of years, from the first civilizations to now. However, now we are trying to change our ways and become as equal as possible, even if the change may be slow. It is clear that Google as well as other companies and workplaces are trying to develop a more equal environment for both men and women of all races, but their adjustment will take time. However, there is no need to be disappointing in how slow things are moving forward, because even if it is slow, it shows in everyday life. For example, today about 40% of the employees at Google are women, but about 100 to 200 years ago the number only about 10% of women or less worked for large companies like Google. Not to mention the fact that women probably had very few high ranked jobs, but now it is not uncommon for a woman to be a manager, a boss, or another high ranking employee.
Again, the key to success when it comes to almost anything is time. Most illnesses are cured with time, many of the greatest ideas took time to develop, as well as the best books of all time. The point is, equal rights for all people are just as great if not better than the things listed above, so even if these rights take 10 years, 100 years, or even 1000 years to take full effect, the results will be revolutionary. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are perfectly equal rights that
are accepted by the majority, if not all, of people.
