I find these maps pretty interesting, I had to use them both for the assignment to work. I didn't have to do much searching, I remembered seeing these two maps once before on a website and thought about how interesting I found them to be. There is so much information both good and bad contained on these maps it is almost hard to look away. Each state on the first map has listed what it is best at or best known for or what it is most successful at. The bottom map is where it really starts to get interesting when you look at both maps, you can compare what the states are 'best' at and what the 'worst' things are about them.
As I said the information on these maps is both unique and very interesting, some of the comparisons can be pretty amazingly different from each other. Where do we stand as Nebraskans? Well, the positive is that we have the least public corruption, on the downside; we are statistically the worst state when it comes to violence towards females. There are some that you just wouldn't expect when looking at the two maps that took me off guard, like Alaska for example which is listed as the 'most equal' state also has the highest rates of suicide. Overall these maps are incredible tools when trying understand the states that make up our country in a completely new way.
