2. What is the basic problem with the soap dispenser in the video (in your own words)?

3. Based on your reading of the article, do you think that the development teams for the cars and the soap dispensers had any people of color on them?  

4. Explain your reasoning for #3.

5. How could companies or educators (pick one) attract more people of color to STEM fields (Science, Technology, Math or Engineering), so that these sorts of things don't happen any more?

How much is something worth?



5 questions:



1) Would you have been as (easily) fooled? Why or why not?
2) Are these people just reacting to the atmosphere they are shown?
3) How can marketing lead us to think things are worth a lot of money?
4) What do you own that you think is a lot of money? Be detailed in your answer.
5) If money was no problem, what would you pay a lot for, and why?
