Ag 4010 Paper #2 Worksheet: Ethical Codes and Data Visualization Features

This worksheet is designed to help you get started on Paper #2. You may ultimately change your codes and/or the ethical theories you originally use on this worksheet but keep in mind feedback will be provided based on this submission and should be taken into consideration even if you change components later.

1. Describe your future career objective. If you want to own a business, please describe the type of business.

2. Create and briefly explain the code of conduct you are creating for yourself in this future career or the code of conduct for the company you intend to own and run (should be approximately 5-10 codes with a brief explanation).

3. Which ethical theory categories do the codes in #2 above fall into? Relate/apply each code to at least one of these ethical theories listed below, ensuring that each theory is applied to at least one code:

  • Hedonism
  • Desire Satisfaction Theory
  • Divine Command Theory
  • Natural Law Theory
  • Ethical Egoism
  • Consequentialism or Utilitarianism
  • Kantian Ethics
  • Virtue Ethics
  • Social Contract Theory
  • Ethical Relativism (including Cultural Relativism)

For each ethical theory, specify:

  • i. The specific code(s) it relates to, listed by number.
  • ii. A brief discussion of how this theory relates to one or more of your codes in #2 above.

4. Additionally, write a two-page paper discussing the key features of Data Visualization Interactivity: Events, Control, and Function. Use the tool of your choice to illustrate with examples.

Provide at least five referenced materials, include examples for each feature, and adhere to APA formatting standards.

Paper For Above instruction

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data analytics and visualization, understanding the core features of interactivity—namely events, control, and function—is essential for effective data communication and decision-making. Data visualization tools enable users to not only view data but to engage with it dynamically, thereby gaining deeper insights and fostering more informed actions.

Events in data visualization refer to user-initiated or system-generated actions that trigger specific responses within the visualization interface. These events can include clicking, hovering, selecting, or zooming, each facilitating interactive engagement with the visualized data. For example, in Tableau, clicking on a bar in a bar chart can update other connected visualizations or display detailed data points, allowing users to explore data relationships actively (Feldman & Sanger, 2007). This event-driven interaction enhances the user's ability to analyze complex datasets intuitively.

Control mechanisms allow users to manipulate how data is presented, such as filtering, sorting, or adjusting parameters. These controls provide flexibility and customization, tailoring visualizations to specific analytical needs. For instance, Power BI offers slicers and filters that enable users to select specific time periods or categories, thereby controlling the scope of data displayed (Shneiderman, 2010). Effective control features empower users to perform ad-hoc analyses without requiring technical expertise or additional coding.

Function pertains to the capabilities of the visualization tool to process data and execute complex computations or transformations. This includes functionalities like aggregations, calculations, or generating new data metrics within the visualization environment. An example is QlikView, which allows users to create calculated fields and perform on-the-fly data aggregations, enabling real-time data analysis that responds to user interactions (Few, 2009). The integration of functions within visualization tools ensures that users can derive meaningful insights directly from their interactions.

By integrating these three features—events, control, and function—visualization platforms become powerful tools for data analysis. They support a more interactive, user-centered approach that facilitates exploration, discovery, and communication of complex data narratives. As data continues to proliferate in volume and complexity, the importance of these interactive features becomes increasingly paramount for effective data storytelling and decision-making in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and marketing.
