When looking at my graphs together, I realized how they all intersect with one another. When we did the second lab that had the graph of where our tweets were coming from, I originally thought it was not really showing me anything. Now I am able to find new information with it when I compare it to my pie graph of all my languages. My map graph had dots from all around the world not just in America and my pie chart graph had many different languages the second most common language being Dutch. When comparing these graphs together, I am able to see how Islamophobia really is a global issue and one that is being talked about around the world. These two graphs also connect to my social network analysis graph because I am able to look at the Twitter accounts and see where they originate from and who they are talking to. The second biggest bubble from the graph is an account that is from the UK.
After having looked all my graphs in correlation with one another, I am able to determine that my strongest argument is to show how this is a global topic. When looking at Katherine and Danny’s graphs, mine are different from theirs because it shows tweets coming from outside of the US.

Caroline,
I agree that your topic is more global while my topic, as well as Katherine’s topic, pertains more to the United States. I’m excited to see how you compare the pie chart and map of geolocations and learning what each tells us about your Islamophobia. 🙂
Hi Caroline,
I completely agree with you about all of the graphs being connected. It was one thing to see that the dots were showing up around the world on the map chart, but the story got so much more detailed when we found our language percentage. It is interesting to compare our different results, because your second most common language was Dutch.
Danny and I each have more American issues than global issues so it is interesting to see how you found your data to be so speed out around the world.
Islamaphobia is definitely a global issue but two major languages are not “global”–why these two places? What’s going on there and what’s your evidence for saying you are “global” which is truly everywhere or in US and other non-US places? What does the US have in common with other folks in other countries who use this hashtag? Dig in. Finally, what is the class reading will you use to dig further into your work?
