In the movie “Hidden Figures” people were just beginning to accept African-Americans into the world and workplace, keeping in mind that there was still a lot of segregation taking place. By accepting and allowing more diverse work environments, work progress along with new ideas, are done more efficiently and effectively. Diversity helps get the best ideas to the top with the use of progressive knowledge, creativity, to overall advance the working ability by working together.
The knowledge that the movie “Hidden Figures” contains is absolutely essential in the pursuit of getting a man into orbiting the Earth. Before Katherine Johnson arrived at Space Task Group, the engineers there didn’t know what to do, and were all confused, not knowing how to proceed on with the current knowledge they had. …show more content…
A variety people with contrasting upbringings helps to create various perspectives and has people “thinking outside the box”. In the movie “Hidden Figures” with Johnson, the team was inspired by her to think more critically and analytically. “Maybe we don’t need a new type of math, maybe it’s old math” ,“We can use Euler's Method!” By having Johnson in the working environment the team was able to come up with a well thought out, creative solution to their problem. Having a creative mind also helped to save John Glenn’s life, an astronaut orbiting Earth. During his descent back down to Earth, his capsule was overheating, because it’s heat shield was coming loose, and he would’ve died if it weren’t for Johnson, who suggested to use the retro straps to hold it in place. If it weren't for diversity, no one else would’ve thought of this and Glenn would have surely been burnt to a
