Dot Distribution Plot

This map shows the population distribution in the united states. The white "dots" represent 7500 people each. The closer the dots are together the more people there are living there. Dot plots are often used to display population density as well as distribution.

Propaganda Map


Propaganda maps skew data to assist political or social agendas. Like many Propaganda maps this map has no political boundaries, only physical boundaries. You could argue that since Israel was in captivity in all these lands they have the natural right to control these lands. Propaganda Maps are based on opinion.
