Northeastern University Ethical and Unethical Data Visualizations Speadsheet

0 comments

For this assignment, find both ethical and unethical data visualizations from businesses and organizations and showcase them in Excel. You must have two of each. For each example visualization, identify the following either in the associated notes:

  • Identify whether or not the data visualization is ethical or inappropriate.
  • Identify the element(s) that indicates its ethicality and appropriateness, or lack of ethicality and inappropriateness.
  • If it is a distorted or inappropriate visualization, explain how to “fix” it or avoid the distortion.
  • If it is not a distorted or inappropriate visualization, explain the aspects that make it a good, quality visualization.
  • Explain how the data visualization impacts the viewer/audience and the business.
  • Rebuild the visualizations you found in Excel, approximating data. If you found the visualization to be unethical, build a version of it that you think is more ethical. If you find the visualization to be ethical, rebuild it following the visualization standards we discussed in Module 1. DO NOT WORRY about getting data to be as it is shown in the original. A rough approximation is good enough.
