or Colombia more broadly.

4 Image

addressing the question, this visual should follow Cairo’s principles of truthfulness,
functionality, beauty, and insightfulness.
5 Discussion

You must contribute a short (1-2 paragraph) written justification of how your visualization
addresses your stated research question.

The visualizations show that Colombia is a very conservative country with respect to similar
countries, we can see similar behavior in Brazil, but regarding issues such as gay marriage and
abortion, Colombia maintains a very rigid position, we can conclude that Colombia the region is
a fundamental issue for the thought of society.
