I watched this video for the first time a couple of months ago and I was shocked. I feel as though I have two very different emotions towards the information that is being portrayed. While part of me is proud of this country and a lot of the advances we have made, the other part is dusgusted by what we have become. We are supposed to be the most advanced and priveledged area in the world, and our children are getting the lowest test scores, and very far behind in school. Although we at one time might have been progressing fast enough to be more successful than the rest of the world, things have changed now and if we are not careful we could be completely destroyed by countries like China. This information really resonated with me, mainly because of the graphics and in the simple was that it was illustrated. It let the words, facts, and statistics speak for themselves but also gave the viewer visual information that helped them to understand the importance of the information being displayed. This is a great example of how a visual representation like this, can be much more powerful than a newspaper. It gives the viewer a more personal and meaningful interpretation.
