The next graph is displayed in Figure 3 and appears to be a double bar graph with the title “Afghanistan Population Pyramid.” From this picture, the author is attempting to identify the percentage of males versus females for specific age groups in Afghanistan. By using this graph the author appears to understand how to use visuals, but is not quite perfect yet. The concept is there, but the x-axis is a percentage versus an actual number which is not appropriate for a bar graph. Although the blue does not look unappealing, it could technically be wrong for this graph. Locker and Kienzler (2014), blue can mean strong, trustworthy, authoritative, cold, depressing, or gloomy. A better color scheme for this graph would be pink for females and …show more content…
Therefore, the message is unclear because we have a wonderfully colored map where the meaning is not understood. The other thing that attributes to the confusion is the word subregion. This map is a view of the world separated by each country whereas a region would be better defined as a continent such as Europe or the general geographical area such as the Middle East. The colors make sense, but they could be improved. It can be assumed that the higher percentage in a specific area will be bad therefore a color that resembles a bad thing such as red might be better than orange. The strategy of using lighter colors for lower percentages is clever except for the dark blue in the 0.5-0.9% group. White was a great choice for the lowest grouping because of its meaning of empty or pure (Locker and Kienzler, 2014. According to Stengel, Calori, and Giannoudis (2008), this graph is almost graphically excellent because it lacks chart junk, but the smaller clusters are difficult to see in some cases and the data could be misleading. Once again we see the example of leaving data out from Misleading Graphs: Real Life Example’s (2014) since some geographical space is larger than others to include the number of people that live there. For example, the reader should expect Russia to have a higher percentage versus Cuba because of the
I would use a bar graph because it would be easy to follow and understand the information presented.
The state can present some of the circumstances in which Dr. Mander drew the map. Since he did not have access to racial data, he cannot have known with any certainty that he was increasing or decreasing the percentage of any racial group. However, he did have access to
When looking at the data I see that the structure of the area is leaving some groups below others and having opportunities that others don’t. Especially when looking at the area of education people of the White race are attaining degrees and a much higher rate than individuals of Hispanic or African American races. This lack of educational attainment is giving the two races that are achieving degrees’ higher chances of advancing further in the social structure. This could be because people of those races not are bringing in the income that the others are. The very reason of education could be the cause of these people not bringing in the income they need to attain the degrees or jobs they wish to hold. Another area of inequality is the issue with housing in the area. Individuals are renting at a greater percent meaning with lack of income they are not able to purchase a house, in turn renting
The graph that is the most appropriate for this type of data is a histogram because it is used to compare things between contrasting groups.
If statistics are based on the population, they might not be fair. For example, people in LA, 90210 have a small number of population and many of those people have good jobs and a good education and statistics cannot be based on only those people because might want to live there, but do not have money and go to a city that is poorer and population rises. Also, in the LA Times “Mapping LA” interactive website, the counties in the right tend to have a lower education percentage of residents of 25 and older with a four year degree, it seems that those counties who have a low education percentage are close to each other and are separated from counties who have a higher education percentage.
Course Description: The new college-level social studies course provides students with the opportunity to identify and analyze contemporary concerns and problems from local, national, and global perspectives in Human Geography. Using geographical tools and skills, we will explore issues such as population distribution and composition, cultural patterns and processes, political organization, land use, industrialization and economic development, and urbanization. The AP Human Geography student will take the World Geography Standards of Learning test (SOL) and is eligible to take the AP Human Geography exam. Attendance is
An education- qualification divide can also be seen in the city’s map. Residents with a bachelor’s degree or more live in West Portland, while the less educated parts of the population live in the West and Southwest parts of the city. Central Portland has the highest education levels in the city, with over 90 percent of the population having a bachelor’s degree or more. Correlating this map with the “Living in Poverty” map, we can surmise that residents with higher education are not poor. This can be attributed to their opportunities in tertiary or quaternary activities, that make more income per capita, which could create a class divide, thus explaining the darker colors separated from the lighter shades on the education map. Furthermore, populations that are less educated may not have the ability to migrate to a wealthier region, as explained by NYU sociologist Patrick Sharkey. Therefore, mapping the population’s achievement in obtaining a bachelor’s degree, one can notice the relationship between education of poverty: the more educated you are, the less likely you are to live in a poor
Indicates that Caucasian have a higher percentage when it comes to the popularity of diverse culture in Brooklyn New York which is approximately 50% according to the pie chart here but unfortunately the least population next to them would be African American which is approximately 24% the least percentage with the lowest ranking is anyone who is considered to be another nationality. Each color represents the number of people who reside in Brooklyn New York. In figure2 it shows how culture is adaptive to our everyday lives such as language is dynamic and changes over time, however it is found to be a profound influence on how we think about and act toward people by giving a sense of belonging to a group. Whereas can be used also as spark of
First of all, National Geography took statistic from consumers. The statistic is explain the consumers between 18 countries to change lifestyle. Moreover, they are many people fell
The Economic structure that I see on the map it is that U.S is great because they trade with country has been good and know the economic Is been decreases gradually. Well since America has good Economic cause it gets its goods like clothes, food etc. form other rich country that has high level of DTM. Friction of distance is the comparison of distance and the interaction between two places so I think that Friction of distance is good also cause in the definition it says that the communication between two places and since there is internet everywhere could talk to any else in the world and at any time. Age Structure of the population is how many people are show based in the graph or picture about different ages and U.S has a lot of facilities

Q7: Create a bar graph or pie chart of the data you have collected. For example, you could create a bar graph that shows the employee turnover rate in organizations that do offer flexible work arrangement compared to organizations that do not. Alternately, you could create a pie chart that shows which types of flexible work arrangement workers want the most.
I collected my data for my visualization by using a google survey created by me teacher. The survey was not anonymous. It was a survey of general information for the students of the class to describe their day. It also requested information about how the students spent their previous nights, including work, relaxing and free time. The students filled out the survey in there respective periods. All data was collected around the same time. The data was collected from 10/26/16 - 11/3/16.
Since the computer is not intelligent enough to understand all the different ways people answered a survey question I used the filter data feature. For example, people expressed a number in so many different ways, if someone was trying to say 5 hours, they wrote 5, 5 hours, 5ish, maybe 5, or five which is hard for the computer to understand. By using the filter data feature I was able to change all the words to a number only so the data is easy for the computer to understand. Also because there is a lot of data the graph will look very confusing. The only way to solve that problem was for me to make the visualization more simple and concise by calculating the average number of hours slept and the average hours of work for each day of the survey. After finding the average hours of sleep and work, I went into insert chart and chart types and selected the line chart because it represents the trend of my graph accurately. I presented my finding by converting the graph and essay I wrote into one separate PDF file and I emailed it as an
Through watching other performances, and our own, we all had the distinctive 3p’s plot. This creates the effect of the audience and the performers knowing the basic storyline of any melodrama and that means that anyone can follow along. In the beginning of our performance, we made the hero and the heroine have a fight that started to set the action into motion because they were lovers about to get married, and she’s the princess… so what would happen to the kingdom without a king by her side? This was the provocation taking place that us, as actors could see and sense, and the audience who was watching. Then, the heroine and her maidservant went out for a walk into the woods. And after a while, Bobby (the maidservant) started to get really
