Hi so day one of MTH 522 started off by Gary telling us about his ex and a lot of interesting stories about police shootings and how surprisingly no one had any real data about the police shootings until recently, which was actually a study done by someone from the Guardian Newspaper.
He also introduced to us something called the “Activity Theory” which to me sounds like how people use data and tools together to come up with a solution or conclusion.
In our first class he gave us a dataset of police shootings that happened in the United States which was collected by the Washington Post.
The dataset has details of the victims of the police shootings.
My question is could climate be one of the reasons which made them more prone to violence?
because as you may know that hotter climate does make people prone to more violence.
so maybe I think I need to find out if hotter regions have more fatality count than cooler regions.
