You could tell that there was a huge difference between the two graphs that you did. The first was very detailed graph and it showed that it was ethical. The other graph was confusing and you could tell it wasn't ethical by the way it was made.

The data you represented is greatly contrasting. The first graph was a simple representation of the percentage of marriages by month. The second graph was extremely hard to decipher lacking any good information even located in the index or legend. This was one of the easier representations to be able to easily see a clear discrepancy between the ethical and unethical representations.

The first graph is definitely an ethical interpretation of alcohol related deaths. I also agree that Nancy Allen is correct, in that people seem to trust what they see even though sometimes they are not seeing the information correctly. Your second graph also gives a good representation of an unethical graph. It is very tough to read, and at first look, I'd probably just skim past it because i wouldn't want to try to interpret it.
I thought it was little difficult to work in groups in a small amount of time. It took a while for our group to get started because we didn't know who would fill the roles the best. We needed someone to research data, make graphs in excel, and write about the graphs. We eventually split these roles up to get the ball rolling. The graphs you have created are great. The first graph doesn't trick the viewer at all. It is plain and simple. The second graph looks very confusing. I would say the second graph is very unethical.

I really like these two examples. The ethical chart is very easy to understand and you can see quickly how many weddings are in a month. I also think that a key factor in this graph is that the percents are added into the chart. If they were not in there to show what the exact percentage is it would end up being confusing. The unethical graph defiantly is a perfect example of a confusing graph. There are just bubbles everywhere! And, there is no information to explain the chart either. I think that these are both really good examples!
