For the final version, I've only made one minor change, which is to add a legend for the timeline of extreme poverty by region. The rest of the changes are merely colour/design changes. The legend would help readers know that those items in grey are global campaigns.
I've thought that this assignment gave us an idea on how to do confirmative analysis. From what I know, confirmative analysis has to do with time, and a given set of information. Using the information that I had found online, I compared the level of poverty with global poverty campaigns.
While we are able to see the campaigns versus the level of poverty, it is not exactly indicative of the campaign's work. It does not mean that the campaigns are effective, or if the campaign had a large impact on poverty. This would leave out other factors, including philanthropy and inflation.
While the level of extreme poverty has gone down, this does not take into account the cost of goods, which may be increasing. This also does not take in any form of taxation, or other kind of tariffs that producers may face.
The purpose was to show social mapping according to Charles Booth, and it was done using the world map. The timeline was in addition to the world map, to help readers see the level of poverty, as the world map alone may not provide sufficient information.
Overall, I thought that this assignment helped me to understand more about the use of data that is freely available in the public domain. It has also allowed me to be able to perform confirmation analysis on the subject of extreme poverty. While I am unable to show other causes and issues with regards to poverty, I believed that I have maximized the space to provide a clear and concise infographic on poverty.
