Cool Hand Luke is a film that portrays a large variety of Americans who love to go against authorities and do what they think is right. This is a very big problem with our society. Yes it does make sense to go against laws that you think are unjust, peacefully, but we can not start going against little rules just because we don't agree with them. Most likely my group members won't read this and let me know their own opinion on this issue but if you guys have the time to actually comment on this then thanks. Anyways, I would like to hear if either of you have had any experiences of people around you breaking rules, or even laws, that just should not be broken.
Visual data is much more interesting to look at than reading an article. You can see much more from a colored graph that isn't a typical X,Y axis graph. In this graph that I found, it shows how Leo Messi shoots while on FC Barcelona and his national club of Argentina. From this visual data you can clearly notice where he shot from and the outcome of that exact shot. Numbers and tables would never be able to communicate this type of information. Numbers can't show exactly where he shot the ball from on the field and what was the outcome. It would be very hard to show the places that the ball was shot in a table (it would have to show where exactly on the field with length and width of the field). This graph is a great example of how much easier visual date can be read compared to the old-fashioned table data.

columbine was a terrible thing. if the NRA would take sub-machine gun out of factories and stop selling them in stores then people would be much safer. thousands would be alive and safer without them. only military needs massive guns not civilians. how could the gun problem be ended? how would you go about it?
