Question

It is important to understand the 3 first stages of the creative problem solving process. Problems may be obvious. If they're not, they can often be identified using the trigger questions in each of the problem solving stage. Read the attached memo about Google, the tech giant’s diversity initiatives and “ideological echo chamber,” written by an anonymous Google Engineer. The document was circulated throughout the company’s ranks and became viral this summer. Google Ideological Echo Chamber.pdf. The document cited principles of evolutionary psychology to argue that women make up only 20 percent of Google’s technical staff because they are more interested in people than in ideas, which the author considers an obstacle to being a good engineer. "Women, on average, have more: Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance). This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs." "We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism." "Women on average show a higher interest in people and men in things." Possible questions to ask yourself! Why did this memo strike such a nerve inside and outside Google? What is the true problem here? Is it the way the media characterized the memo? it is because many of the claims are inaccurate? or his point of view was unpopular? or is it because so many people find what he wrote so disrespectful? What happened to the Engineer right of free speech in this case? Is the problem about "political correctness", "gender imbalance".? Please read the memo thoroughly. This is a very complex topic. This week's Discussion; Analyze, Recognize & Identify the Problem with the Google memo. Please focus on content of the memo, not social/news media reactions or what happened to the Google Engineer. State what Analyze the problem - Discuss your thoughts on what is going on inside and outside of the organization the organization Recognize the problem - What do you think is happening? Is there a genuine opportunity to actively address and/or solve the issue? Provide a detailed definition of the problem - With the information in front of you, you're ready to write down a "problem statement" - a comprehensive definition of the problem(Before you do, remember to define the problem in terms of needs, and not solutions) If you define the problem in terms of possible solutions, you're closing the door to other possibly more effective solutions that we will be exploring later in the course). Respond to at least two of your classmates initial posts. Either Agree/disagree and explain why you agree/disagree, or share an insight or expand on their answers.

Answer 1

Answer:According to the researches and the articles which were published we can say that the time a girl reaches puberty until about the age of 50, she is twice as likely to have an anxiety disorder as a man. Anxiety disorders also occur earlier in women than in men. Women are also more likely to have multiple psychiatric disorders during their lifetime than men.But there was no equivalent proves to state in the google terms according to this issue its was just about a probability of the ranges which a person can have or make but we can't trust a being based on there once anxiety or stress levels.It totally depends on one's physical and mental condition.Normally these publishings are viral because of the social inequalities based on the gender differences its upto a being who understands to pursue these levels and to motivate the others by spreading the awareness about these inequalities.Yes,we can say that these levels of articles based on the gender inequalty based on google search are inappropriate and social awareness is much required.
