Looking through the text, a few cultural keywords that show up throughout are "evolve", "seed", and "education".
"Evolve" is a keyword as it is used to describe the field of computer science and how it is changing our world. One of the many aspects of our world computer science is influencing is our public education systems.
"Seed" is a keyword as it is used to describe how the Hour of Code program (an hour long interactive seminar on computer science) impacts students around the world. Partovi mentioned "planting the seed" in young students several times throughout his text to emphasize the type of education he believes needs to be implemented.
"Education" is the ultimate keyword for this text. Partovi's entire speech is on the importance of our public education system. The way we think about education defines our culture in a very definitive way, and Partovi's constant use of the word education never let's us forget what we're talking about and how important it is.
How do these keywords help support the argument that the author is making?
These keywords support the argument the author is making by expressing exactly how Partovi feels and thinks about education in regards to computer science. Specifically, the words "evolve" and "seed" help the audience gainer a better understanding of exactly how Partovi wants computer science to be taught in schools
Why might an audience be more likely to support this argument if it is connected to these values?
An audience will likely support an argument connected to the education because most people value an optimal education system. Partovi's speech asserts that education needs to be constnatly evolving and growing as computer science does in order to give our future generations the best chance at success.
