Tuesday and Wednesday 21 and 22 April

The class used the following guidelines to examine a set of data on income and wealth inequality collated by a left leaning group.

What is the graph about? (define terms as needed)
     Who is represented?
      What measurements are shown?

What does the graph show is /was happening (and to whom)?

Who /what seems to be being valued  and / or supported? Not supported?

How do you / ya'll feel about who / what is being valued and / or supported?

Do any of the suggested policies seem to apply? Which? Why?

Predictions? Recommendations?


The class was cautioned not to draw specific conclusions about a person or person from general statistics. The class reviewed the difference between correlation and causation.

The class was divided into groups and each group prepared a presentation of their analysis of one of the graphs.
