NASA and Engineers

During movie night, I watched a film called “Hidden Figures” which was mainly about black, female engineers working at NASA and the discrimination they faced. It was an interesting watch overall on how they were treated out NASA and what we didn’t know what was happening at the time. The main focus point I saw in the film was when people’s names weren’t being on the reports that they made. It stood out to me mainly as I never really saw a film or show that actually took something like that seriously. In like other moves or shows it was mainly a small piece of plot where the boss eventually finds out that the person who wrote the report did it. In this movie however, everyone knows she wrote the report but no one really cared. That’s a significant part of a movie and part of it connects to some arguments today. People say that work discrimination is still a thing and people argue that there is none, but this movie brings to light that 50 years ago that there was some discrimination at some of the most respected parts of the government. No matter how the argument is shown today, it can’t be argued that there wasn’t any discrimination in that period of time
