My Infographic Topic was GDP Per Capita on average for every continent. I put every country in the world’s GDP per capita and found the average for each continent as well as the world average which I put in a graph + or – the world average of 10 925$. Europe, Asia, North America, and Oceania were over the average and South America and Africa were below the world average. Africa’s GDP per capita was about half of the world’s average.

Next, I decided to look at what happens if I remove the top 10% of countries by GDP per capita for each continent. I started with Asia and make an infographic for every continent removing the top 10% for each continent.

Asia GDP Per Capita by steven

Final Project Reflection.

A: My overall goal for this project was to understand the wealth distribution throughout the world and to understand how wealth is concentrated at the top and how much the numbers decrease when I remove the top 10%.

B: I used Canva

To build my infographics I used Canva. I have used Canva since middle school but I had never used templates to start my design or used an infographic. Usually, I just used a blank poster for my designs but I used a template this time.

C: Technology can change the world by making it easier to understand and display data to the general public to teach them about problems by using numbers not just using empty assumptions. Technology can show problems in an easier way to understand and can be used to showcase problems to the world. If knowbody knows about the problems nothing will be done. If a problem is mainstream there will be more media coverage and more will be done. technology can help get problems into the mainstream.

Western Sahara

The largest piece of land not an independent country and ruled by an independent country.

Western Sahara is located on the northwest coast of Africa. Bordered by Morocco to the north, Alegria to the east and Mauritania to the south the region is not ruled by any country and is not an independent country. The largest type in the world. (excluding Antarctica). Western Sahara is not good for farming, relatively remote and the climate is harsh. The region has some resources, phosphates and other natural materials plus much coast line for fishing and other marine activities.

The territory was initially claimed by Spain in the 1500’s, Morocco captured the region and held it until 1884, Spain ruled and in 1955 united the north and the south together into Spanish Sahara. Nationalists in Spanish Sahara sought to control the region and Spain decided to grant the territory to Morocco and Mauritania. Rebels pressure forced to Mauritanians to withdraw their claim, but Morocco has fought a 25-year war over the territory. The Sahrawi democratic Arab party governs the part of western Sahara controlled by the Sahrawis.  Much of western Sahara is controlled by Morocco but the people are not Moroccan and want independence.

I love dried fruit. Mango, cranberries, and apples. I will eat any fruit thrown my way. I also thought what I was eating was good for me. However, most videos online seem to say dried fruit is bad for you. This video shows how much sugar there is in dried fruit and why dried fruit is one of the worst snacks. He is it isn’t much better than other unhealthy food.

The Video:

The source of this video.

Dr. Eric Berg

He has 6.01 million subs on youtube.

He gets lots of views on Youtube, and his topics are about a wide range of health-related topics.

On Dr.Berg personal website

https://www.drberg.com/

There is an about me page

His about me page shows his life and accomplishments

He is not a real doctor but a chiropractor.

Giving him the right to talk about the topic

Is Dr. Berg who he really says he is?

Every source I found says Dr. Berg was a chiropractor specializing in weight loss. He was never a doctor but he runs a Health and Wellness center in Virginia and on google maps the owner is Eric Berg. Many different youtube channels, websites, and google maps show that Dr. Eric Berg is indeed a chiropractor.

He is who he said he is.

There are many videos saying he is fake or not trustworthy.

Dr. Berg may not be trustworthy on many topics, but even a stopped clock is right once a day

Is this argument backed up?

Is dried fruit good for you?

A youtube search for is dried fruit and for you brings up many results.

But a search for dried fruit good for you brings up nothing

No video says “the health benefits for eating dried fruit”

There is one on apricot but that is not what I am trying to prove.

A google search brings the same results

Other articles show debates whether dried fruit is good or not

Fruit in general has nutrients and is healthy for you.

Some sugar-free dried fruit is good, but mostly the food industries add  way too much sugar to make consumers buy

By researching this topic I realized Dr. Berg was too against dried fruit. They are a good source of carbohydrates and other nutrients but be wary of the sugar levels as that is important. You shouldn’t eat what is basically candied fruit as a regular snack.

Dr. Berg was wrong in saying dried fruit is to be avoided, but limited quantities and looking at the sugar content is a must when looking at dried fruit.

This video was not right as it was against eating dried fruit at all. However he was not wrong, but dried fruit in small quantities is still a good snack not a healthy food
