Interpretation of Data [Two Datas]

Data 1.

The following、from Parade magazine、is the figures which shows the percent of U.S. adults who want to know about each type of news. From the figures it can be inferred that crime news、gets 95%、 is the most popular type for people in choosing information. Other kinds of news such as that of local (94%) and the environment (92%) 、in reality、have a similar level with the crime news. As you can see、the national government and news from around the world are also in the near percentage: 88% and 87% while being selected . However、the arts news、to our surprising、takes only 67%; on the other word、this kind of news、compared with the crime、the local、or the environment news、is just the minority among them. From this results it may be concluded that people prefer to know aspects of the society than something related to spirit ways.


Data 2.

Here are a chart that estimates the music sales in the United State from The Recording Industry Association of America. There are so many sorts of music: Rock、Rap/Urban、Country、Pop、Classical、Jazz、Gospel、and others. According to the chart、Gospel and Jazz has the same percentage--3%、 in sale markets. Classical music 、4%、can be regarded as the same level with them. But compared with these three types above、Pop is almost treble even more the number of them which takes 13%. The interesting thing is that Country and Rap/Urban music get the same statistic (18%) and are the half of Rock (33%)、which is the majority of any other types. Perhaps this kind of music could release more stresses and furnish more pleasure、who knows!
