The story is linear. It exists not in the vacuum of past events but in the continuum of current and future events, past, present and future actors, and past, present and future results. The environment changes when the times change, but the historical goal is to thoroughly understand the present and reconsider the past to make informed decisions for a better future. In this information age, computational science is included in the background. Computer science is currently an urgent civil rights issue. Software development and other related CS industry practitioners' demographics are very uneven (https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/stem/pg.62-66,69). Also in higher education and K - 12 school system. In such an environment, the expression of women and ethnic minorities is very inappropriate (Google / Gallup Report 2016)

Past, present and future direction culture will pay different attention to past, present and future. Compared with other countries, North American countries tend to pay attention to the present and the future. Most European countries are more balanced about past, present and future concerns. Many Asian countries are extremely worried about the perception of North Americans' distant future. The impact of different priorities on past, present and future can be the most obvious in planning. North American administrators are mainly interested in achieving results within 5 years. Their long-term plan covers five to ten years. In addition, employees employed in North America usually take several weeks to several years to prove to be successful. Employees who failed during this time are usually asked to look for another job or be dismissed. By contrast, Japanese companies tend to hire employees aimed at lifetime employees.
