Problem Statement

There are many things we need to look after before stating answer. For Example.

  1. Life Expectancy
  2. Child Mortality
  3. Human Development Index
  4. Death due to battle
  5. GDP

Load Data for Life Expectancy

       Entity Year Life.expectancy
1 Afghanistan 1950          27.638
2 Afghanistan 1951          27.878
3 Afghanistan 1952          28.361
4 Afghanistan 1953          28.852
5 Afghanistan 1954          29.350
6 Afghanistan 1955          29.854

Simplyfing data to find the useful insight.

Lets take a look at how life expectancy changed in the passed year. Is it improved or not?

1. Plot that illustrate Year to Life Expectancy in the world.

By looking at the graph we can see that as time passes life expectancy increased that means we can say that world is moving towards a long and healthy life.

Load Data for Child Mortality

       Entity Code Year Child.mortality
1 Afghanistan  AFG 1957         381.194
2 Afghanistan  AFG 1958         375.190
3 Afghanistan  AFG 1959         369.361
4 Afghanistan  AFG 1960         363.700
5 Afghanistan  AFG 1961         357.500
6 Afghanistan  AFG 1962         351.500

Simplyfing data to find the useful insight.

As we know a long time ago children died at their early age, so now lets see what change has occurred since then.

2. Plot that illustrate Year to Child Mortality in the world.

We can see clearly from the graph that as we moved towards the 2000’s Child Mortality decreases that means child lives longer than before.

Load Data for Human Development Index

       Entity Code Year
1 Afghanistan  AFG 1950
2 Afghanistan  AFG 1955
3 Afghanistan  AFG 1960
4 Afghanistan  AFG 1965
5 Afghanistan  AFG 1970
6 Afghanistan  AFG 1975

4                                                          0.07
5                                                          0.09
6                                                          0.09

Simplyfing data to find the useful insight.

We are living in the modern era so does it really mean that human development index rises? To answer that lets see following graph.

3. Plot that illustrate Year to Human Development Index in the world.

Yeah its true that As we move to modern era human index go up started from 0.1 and reaches around 0.5.

Load Data for Death due to battle

                      Entity Year Battle.related.deaths
1 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1946                     0
2 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1947                     0
3 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1948                     0
4 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1949                     0
5 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1950                     0
6 Africa (inc. North Africa) 1951                     0

Simplyfing data to find the useful insight.

We all know that in the past time world encounter many wars and many people died because of that, so this situation improved or not? Lets find that out.

4. Plot that illustrate Year to Death in the world because of battle.

As we can see as we moved towards the 20th century number people died because of battle is decreasing.

Load Data for GDP

      country Year GDP
1 Afghanistan 1801   0
2 Afghanistan 1802   0
3 Afghanistan 1803   0
4 Afghanistan 1804   0
5 Afghanistan 1805   0
6 Afghanistan 1806   0

Simplyfing data to find the useful insight.

We have seen several factor that affect our decision, now lets look at the one of the most discussion factor GDP. which means total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period.

5. Plot that illustrate Year to GDP in the world.

Here, a increase with the little fluctuation can be noticed in overall GDP of the World.

Answer

By observing above given visualization of

  1. Life Expectancy
  2. Child Mortality
  3. Human Development Index
  4. Death due to battle
  5. GDP

we can come to a conclusion that the World has become a better place. The validity of the given statement can be proved as the Life Expectancy and GDP is acquired for the person’s life, and both of these factors are steadily increasing, so it can be concluded that World has become a better place.
