MM325M1 Part 2 When trying to draw conclusions about a particular population, such as adults in North America, it is important to collect data from a sample which adequately represents that population. Once you have the data, you can examine the variables to ensure the sample was, in essence, broad and representative enough of that population to serve your purpose. For example, in evaluating data you may use to answer questions about North American adults, you would want to check the data for whether there is an adequate proportion of people across all 18+ age groups and from each of the countries within North America. Assessment: Suppose you are conducting a preliminary analysis for a project at a global non-profit organization. Leading members of your team have identified the World Values Survey as a potentially useful data source to leverage a broad range of cultural insights for the project. Visit the World Values Survey website and select Wave 7. You have several choices of statistical data files to download from the website depending on your choice of statistical analysis tool. Download the Wave 7 dataset in the correct format for the tool you will use, and review the dataset codebook for an explanation of what each variable represents. (Tip: Organize and save your data for efficient retrieval and use in another discussion). Examine at least four variables of interest. Three of these variables must be demographic, such as age, citizenship, education level, or socioeconomic status (codes Q260-Q290 in the codebook). Construct a memo to the head of cultural affairs in which you address the following: 1. What you are studying and why. 2. List the four variables, including the column name for each, as is shown in the data, and a brief description indicating what each variable represents. 3. How can you those variables to assess the value of multiculturalism and diversity in a global environment? What types of visualizations can be used to assist with that assessment? Review guidance of a part 2 for this competency assessment.

The importance of religion to people. Some of the data is not available for a holistic analysis of the data, this is due to many of the responses being “not valid” or “not recorded”. This is approximately 1/6 th of the data in the # of children in a household and approximately 80% of the data is unanswered in the # of family members in a household. Also, approximately 14% of it is not asked or interviewed on the importance of having both parents in the upbringing of the child. The importance of religion in people’s lives is the most available data set. While conducting analysis of these variables, I had to format the non-response entries to reach a conclusion. There are several benefits of using this data. It helps one understand the # of people in a household, the # of children in a household, the opinion of having both parents involved in the development of a child, and finally the importance of religion to people. We can understand the correlation between the # of members in a household and the # of children. Also, what families define parenting as having both parents, and what role religion plays in someone’s life. The # of children in a household and the importance of religion are two data sets that are very well represented. In these surveys the majority of people answered, and the data is very approachable to draw conclusions from. The majority of people have 3 or less kids at home and more than half of people believe religion plays a major role in their life. Demographically, I found the data very insightful when comparing it to my home country: India. In India, religion is an extremely important part of most people’s lives, and the # of kids per household is a close second. Ultimately, I find that data helps to understand how nations differ in a cultural context, and it can also be used to draw conclusions on trends in both first world and developing nations.
