Does the ordered array or the stem-and-leaf display provide more information? Discuss.

Discussion Board Assignment: Search online for an example of data presented in a visual format (table, chart, plot, graph, etc.), that creates a false impression that would lead to misleading or unproductive analysis. Post the graphic in the Discussion Board labeled “Misleading Graphics.” Be sure to provide any context that is needed to demonstrate what is incorrect concerning the graphic. Be sure to include the online link to the location of the graphic.

Then choose one classmate’s post. Using the pitfalls described in Chapter 2.9, in a sentence, describe one reason why this would be considered misleading. IF someone has already listed the reason, then you MUST choose another graphic.  One post has only one reply!

How does this verse impact you in matters of faith in the workplace?

Resource: 

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans 12:2 (New International Version)

So often, we are quick to judge our neighbors and others around us. Today’s society has allowed us to forget what Christ has taught us: to love thy neighbor. Romans 12:2 is a blueprint that is set forth to show us how each one of us should transform our character and renew our mind. The biblical perspective recognizes the active opposition of a personal adversary. In the business world, we diversify ourselves with others from all walks of life, not knowing that God has placed each of us together for the common good. Thinking back on your workplace, how do you engage with others from other backgrounds? Do you place judgment on others? Do you reflect your views on social media and other blogging components? Is this right?

Instructions: 

1. Take time to reflect on Romans 12:2. 
2. Consider the following question:
   1. How does this verse impact you in matters of faith in the workplace?
3. Post your answer in the discussion thread in 150-200 words.
