This visual is a histogram. This histogram is used by an agency to prevent and educate on young adult smoking. According to this graph, out of those in the 18 to 24 age group, 28 percent of males smoke compared to 25 percent of females. Both male and female smoking peaks at 25 to 34 age group. It is also evident that the smallest group of smokers for both male and female is the 65 and older group.

Propaganda Map



"The World According to Ronald Reagan" is a Propaganda Map. This map tends to be humorous in nature as it interprets Ronald Reagan's supposed view of  the world during the Cold War era. The map depicts two fierce adversaries, the United States and the U.S.S.R., as well as the rest of the world in regards to what role different countries played during this time, at least according to the interpretation. The map is obviously not drawn to scale, with certain countries seeming to dwarf other in relation to their actual size.
