Which of the functions seem to be the most important to families today? What do you think are the least important functions performed by the family today? Which are the most important functions in your family? Give an example of how your family has carried out some of these functions.  Which functions seem to have undergone the greatest change over time? Why? If the family is not performing the function, what agency is? Do you think the agency is doing a better, worse, or about the same or as good a job as the family could? Do you feel that the family today is “breaking down” because it is no longer performing specific functions? Why or why not?

Data representation is the act displaying the visual form of your data. The process of identifying the most effective and appropriate solution for representing our data is unquestionably the most important feature of our visualization design. Working on this layer involves making decisions that cut across the artistic and scientific foundations of the field.Here we find ourselves face-to-face with the demands of achieving that ideal harmony of form and function that was outlined in Chapter 6, Data Representation. We need to achieve the elegance of a design that aesthetically suits our intent and the functional behavior required to fulfill the effective imparting of information.According to Kirk 2016, in order to dissect the importance of data representation, we are going to "look at it from both theoretical and pragmatic perspectives." Choose three of the storytelling techniques (Pages 161 - 209) in which data is presented and stories are being interpreted. Discuss the importance and the advantages of using these techniques. Provide an example of each technique.ReferenceKirk, A. (2016). Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Ltd.
