Include at least two graphs, charts, or tables that visually represent data about the current issue or trend in your field. You may use the visuals from your Week 3 assignment and revise them as needed. Use your visuals to answer the following ques”ons:
What is the impact of this issue or trend to your field? What do you recommend to either resolve the issue or end the trend (if nega”ve) or keep the trend going (if posi”ve)?
