“Using Data Ethically: Improving Representation and Accuracy in the Modern World” Introduction In today’s data-driven society, we are constantly bombarded with information and statistics from various sources, including scientists, researchers, the media, and social media users

You will write a position paper addressing the following questions: How can we better use data to represent the world around us accurately? What should scientists, researchers, the media, and social media users do to present a more accurate picture of the truth?  
Your paper will summarize and analyze what you have learned about how data is used and misused this quarter. Complete a critical analysis of some of the challenges with data that we have covered in this class and suggest improvements. 
You are welcome and encouraged to address the points brought up in Chapters 12 and 13 of The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data. If you use the class textbook as a source in your paper, list the book on the reference page and cite it properly using an in-text citation (Spiegehalter, 2019).  
Lastly (and this is the most essential part of this paper), you should include three recommendations about presenting data ethically in the workplace and beyond. Outside sources must support each recommendation.
You must include at least five sources, three of which support your recommendations. Ensure each source listed on your reference page has at least one corresponding in-text citation within the paper.
The paper should be 5-8 pages and follow APA 7th edition Student format. The page count does NOT include the title, abstract, or reference pages.
