Chart 1:
Chart 2:
The two charts posted are of the same information but give off two very different impressions to viewers. Chart 1 has shorter range of values represented on the chart, which gives off the impression that the growth in percentage is large. Being that the purpose of charts and graphs is to demonstrate the difference or growth from one point to another, this graph would benefit someone who was trying to make small growth seem larger than it really is. The 2nd chart does just the opposite. It shows the same set of data but on a larger scale that shows the difference from one point to another on a larger scale. This type of chart makes the data change appear to be minimal compared to that of the 1st chart. The owner of chart 2 would not want to display it because it would emphasize minimal growth of their product, for example.
