This first visualization seen above visual explain which resources more labor intensive by the use of a tree map. This map orders the labor intense product by using size and color. The most labor intensive is beef which was not too surprising given that it is a worldly favorite. Then is shows dairy, poultry, pork, and eggs which are all different shades of pink and then it goes into smaller sections of blue and green with fish, roots, pulses, maize, rice, wheat. Also, each section has a number which tells you how many tons are being produced. The reason I thought this specific visualization was interesting is because I have watched films in previous classes that went over the production of foods that are difficult to produce. This made me curious because initially I thought it would have been grains rather than beef but as soon as I saw that it was beef it made sense. It is also very fascinating to see that beef being the most labor intensive also is a very popular product. It makes me wonder how do they produce so much of the beef if it is so difficult to produce. It just goes to show if it is in high demand producers will find a way to produce what is needed.
This visualization shows where Nike products are produced. There is a total of ten countries where production occurs most, China being the largest supplier of manufacturing factories. China has 140 factories that produce Nike products while Italy only has about eighteen. I learned from this visual that Nike produces their product in more than one country which makes sense now that I see it but before I thought it was only China and the United States. I think this is useful because Nike store are all over the world and there are million of people who wear or own their products so, it is logical that we should probably know where the items we own come from. The reason I chose this visual is because Nike recently launched their new campaign that sparked some controversy, and someone had mentioned that it was shocking that people are no longer consumers of Nike because they used Colin Kaepernick in their campaign, but they still wore them even though Nike produces their shoes in sweat shops with horrible conditions and horrible pay. When I saw this, I was curious as to where the factories are located. I also own Nike items and my curiosity is the main reason I was lead to this visualization.
