Making informed decisions in today’s age is getting harder and harder. More often than not, historical precedence sets the status quo. But if that’s the case, than why do we struggle so much with today’s issues. Are today’s issues so different from the past that there is no precedent? For our scientific troubles? Maybe. For our social troubles? Most definitely not. The data from the past tell us this.
In this repo, in the data folder, you’ll find the analyses done in R and python that created some of the images you’ll find in our presentation, which can be found in the Presentation folder.
This also has the skeleton of a Rails app. There was potential, but 7 hours didn’t give us that chance when we were working with such massive data.
We grabbed data from the [Global Terrorism Database](www.start.umd.edu/gtd/), and from HDX for [Refugee arrival and departure](data.hdx.rwlabs.org/dataset/unhcr-refugee-pop-stats/resource/fbacbba3-1b20-4331-931b-6a21a4cb80f5).
