Seeing Is Believing: The Power Of Visualization

Improved Essays
What my thoughts gathered while reading through this article is the difficulty or attempt of translating an idea or a situation to a group of people with different mindsets as efficient and engaging as possible so as to generate more thought and progressive work through visual simplistic images rather than creating more doubt and chaos which would in turn result into doubt, insecurity and eventually the death of a possible great idea which equals “going nowhere fast”. The hope is that presenting data in this way will make data presentation more engaging and easier to understand, so it’s particularly helpful in terms of speaking to clients or internal stakeholders. According to the article “Seeing Is Believing: The Power of Visualization”

    Although I haven’t gotten feedback on the essay I believe it better fulfills the meaning of rhetorical analysis as it is defined in this class. Part of the problem with my previous essays was that I was using the same formatting as in my high school rhetorical analysis papers which have a more broad definition of rhetoric. So, I tried to shape my essay for what I believe is expected of rhetorical analysis in here. The paper took quite a bit less work and effort to make using the other definition so I am interested in seeing how the results turn out.…
