I will admit I did not have a favorite chart until I found this one, but I thought it was fitting for that reason and also because I work at Passport Cafe and have to stare at all that delicious food for my whole shift. Moreover, I am glad that critical thinking gives us the skills to analyze arguments in this quantitative form because, as Dr. Bezio mentioned in the podcast, that is often how people choose to back up their humanities-based arguments. I had also never really though about it before how data and statistics are often used to support evidence of demographics, but on second thought even the giving games paper that we just turned in that had sections just about ethics had some numerical forms of evidence. Overall, I will now look at numbers in a much different light when thinking about arguments. More specifically, I will think about how they are used within the argument and if it makes sense or aims to be deceiving, rather than just glancing at them and pretending I understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I am a humanities major mostly due to my inability to work with numbers and statistics, i thought this chart was really funny.
