Data Update #3

 Chart


Unanswered Question

A question that I cannot answer with my data is sexual violence against women in Canada in previous years. It would be great to compare the difference of at least the last five years. The data from Statistics Canada that I used for my visualization provides information for the years 2019 and 2020 but not for years before that. It would be interesting to compare the data for sexual assault on female over the years. 

How would you get the data?

I would reach out to Statistics Canada to find out if they have any data available for previous years. I will also request for a research data and questions, which they used before getting the final data. I will make sure to request a data that includes Canada and not B.C. as my data is about all over Canada and not one province. Even if I get a data that includes all genders, I could filter it and find the data for females.

    I like that you realize it would benefit your dataset by having data from previous years to compare. One thing you could do different is changing the colours for each bar on your chart. Overall, great job.

    I like how you mentioned bringing up data that isnt included in previous years and comparing it to newer data and the title of your chart is straight to the point too! You cold elaborate more on how to reach out to statscan though? because im not aware how at all! do they have a public email or social media where they connect with people?

    Hi Ahanya, I like the concise and clear presentation of your chart. I think that it would have been better if you had included a more specific number for the statistic in your lead.

    Hi Ahanya, I liked how you included and thought of a good and engaging title, it is informative as well and lets the audience know right away what your chart is about. I agree with you on how it would be interesting to see the data for sexual assault on females over the years. Maybe a suggestion could be to change up your lead sentence a bit and rewriting it so it can be different than your title but engaging at the same time. Nice job, thanks for sharing!

    Hi Ahanya Your chart is really clear and I do agree that it would be interesting to have more years to compare. I think that having a statistical number in the lead would provide more of an effect. Such as "12 to 17 year old females are x% more likely to be sexually assaulted Canada". Also is there more data you could add to this to increase your ability to dig deeper? Just a thought but still a really great job!

Is Social Media Good for Mental Health?

Photo by iPredator Social media is a platform that allows people to create or share content and to connect with people all over the world. In today's era, with an increase in population, there is also an increase in the use of social media. Social media platforms can have their benefits but there are many drawbacks as well. There is a connection between excessive use of social media and worsening mental health. Using social media frequently can make a person unhappy and isolated.  There is also a movie named " Airplane Mode " based on excessive phone addiction and how the female lead got rid of her social media addiction.  A study has found that Facebook makes people unhappy and depressed. Facebook also makes the user think that their friend's lives are more interesting than theirs's which is termed as "Facebook Envy". When we spend too much time on our phone, we tend to forget things in our day to day life and as we get involved in the ...
