Accountability 1

A friend of mine found a very intersting site for visual people like me. Unfortunately, the data in this form hurts my heart. Today is World AIDS Day, Decemeber 1st. The theme this year is accountabilty. I belive there is no better theme considering which nations have massive resources and which nations have a destructive pandemic.

Worldmapper inflates countries by the statistical data collected. Take a look at some of these maps and use your sway and influence to make these maps look a little different next year.

Purchasing Power

Public Health Spending

HIV prevalence

    My comments as I looked at each image:

    Image 1 – “Poor Africa.” Image 2 – “Poor Africa.” Image 3 – seeing Africa finally large, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to say “poor Africa”. Then I noticed the Image was for HIV prevalence. Poor Africa.
