Climate Change:

Climate change is a very serious problem, it's when the temperatures of the planet rise due to various factors such as humans burning fossil fuels in factories or from their cars, the gases from the burning of fossil fuels get trapped in the Earth's atmosphere causing the rise in temperatures. There have been many methods to try and mitigate this ongoing issue such as legislation being passed most notably the Paris Climate Accords.

Racial Discrimination:

Racial discrimination is another critical issue, it can happen with anyone no matter if you're Hispanic, Black, Asian, or Indigenous. The US has had the most problems with racial discrimination such as Jim Crow Laws in the southern states stripping Black people of their rights that they just gained with the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, or Asian people being attacked for "spreading COVID" even though any human being can spread a virus, Many movements have pushed for legislation to end discrimination not only in the US but around the world as well.

Gender:

Gender discrimination is common in various places around the world, Even the US. Before 1920 with the 19th Amendment, Woman couldn't vote as they were considered "property". Before the Rwandan Genocide, Wives couldn't open a bank account without the consent of their husbands, after the genocide Rwanda passed many new laws reversing these types of discrimination due to the huge loss of men in the country.


Even though all of these are very important issues, I've settled on the Climate Change as I have many thoughts about it and the ways to address it such as when the MTA introduced Congestion pricing in the City a few days ago in order to reduce pollution in Manhattan. and when California passed a law that would ban petrol powered cars by 2030 or something

Data Visualization at the Designing Peace Exhibition

What is the goal of data visualization? The main goal of Data visualization is to present an idea, in a way that is easy to grasp and understand. Data visualization is supposed to be a creative way to present data, such as showing data for poverty as shopping carts Conflict's Root Causes Description This exhibition is supposed to display the man-made objects sent to various points in space such as Earth's orbits, the moon, and even Mars. The purpose of this illustration is to show us how much space exploration we have done ever since the space race between the USSR and the USA back in the 1960s, this information is supposed to be easily digestible, otherwise we would've had a boring dotted graph. How can you use your skills in graphic design to visualize your data? I can use the skills I've gathered throughout my graphic design career to display in an easy to digest, ADHD-friendly manner similar to how it was done in the exhibition, but instead presenting data about cli...
