This line graph illustrates the percentage of the world's population living under democratic governments from 1816 to 2015. In 1816, only 1% of humanity lived in democracies. The share remained relatively low until a noticeable increase starting around 1900. Significant growth in global democracy began around 1950 and continued to rise sharply through the late 20th century. The trend reached its peak in 2015, with 56% of the global population living in democratic nations. The chart highlights major gains in democracy post-World War II and through the end of the Cold War.

This pie chart from the Pew Research Center presents data from a survey conducted in January 2024, detailing how U.S. adults have adhered to their New Year's resolutions. Among respondents who made at least one resolution, 59% reported that they have kept all of their resolutions, while 28% have kept some of them. Conversely, 13% admitted to not keeping any of their resolutions. This data illustrates a relatively high rate of commitment to New Year's resolutions among the surveyed group.

This line graph displays skin cancer incidence rates per 100,000 people, broken down by age and gender in the United States. The data covers 99.1% of the US population, so it is impressively comprehensive. The graph shows that rates increase with age for both males and females. Male cancer rates are consistently higher than female rates, particularly noticeable in older age groups. The graph highlights that the incidence rates for males start to significantly diverge from females beginning in the 55-59 age group and continue to increase steeply as age progresses.

This line graph presents the amount of oil spilled from tanker ships in thousands of tons, spanning from sometime before 1980 to 2016. The graph shows a dramatic peak in 1979 with 636,000 tons spilled, marking the highest point of oil spills. Following this peak, there are several significant spikes, particularly noticeable through the 1980s. From the 1990s onward, the frequency and volume of oil spills sharply decline, reaching a low of just 6,000 tons in 2016, indicating a substantial reduction in major oil spills from tanker ships over the decades.

This bar chart from the Pew Research Center shows the percentage of U.S. adults' feelings toward the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life, surveyed from 2021 to 2023. In 2021, 18% felt more excited than concerned, decreasing to 10% by 2023. Those equally excited and concerned remained stable at 45% in 2021 and 46% in 2022, then dropped to 36% in 2023. Meanwhile, the proportion more concerned than excited rose from 37% in 2021 to 52% in 2023, indicating growing apprehension about AI among U.S. adults over these years.

This stacked bar chart displays the percentages of U.S. adults who believe science has had a mostly positive, equal positive and negative, or mostly negative effect on society, across five different surveys from March 2016 to October 2023. The proportion of adults viewing science as mostly positive declined from 67% in March 2016 to 57% in October 2023. The percentage seeing science as equally positive and negative increased slightly over the years, while the view of science as mostly negative grew from 4% in 2016 to 8% in 2023. My broad inference from the chart is that respect for science has been on the decline.

This line graph illustrates the decline in the number of countries where forced labor is legal or practiced by the state from 1800 to 2017. In 1800, 194 out of 195 countries legally or officially practiced forced labor. Over time, this number gradually decreased, showing a significant decline particularly in the 20th century, and reaching a low of 3 countries by 2017. This demonstrates a substantial global reduction in the acceptance and practice of state-sanctioned forced labor over the past two centuries.
