Read the following articles:

Instructions:
Based on the readings and the lectures about gender, race, intersectionality, coloniality, and computing, answer the following questions:

Q1. Considering the “matrix of domination,” how might biases against women, LGBTQ+, and racial minorities occur more frequently in the development and deployment of technology?

Q2. Discuss why it is critical to have literacy in both the technical (scientific and technological methodologies) and the social (globalization, race, gender, etc.) when approaching computing.

Q3. Define the “myth of scale” and discuss the implications that this has for technologies deployed in the Global South
I have included the RUBRIC and LECTURE SLIDES. Information from the lecture slides must be refrencced and used to answer the questions above and follow the rubric given. Each question must be outlined clearly.
