I might be over-exaggerating it at the moment, but I think Visual Capitalist is going to be an amazing site for me to use. I love graphs and charts and I feel like this site showcases a variety of these things that all relate to my topic. I've already cited two specific articles from this site that are accompanied by infographics, charts, and numbers that are organized so nicely. They also included information necessary to my research; the first article ranks the social mobility of 82 different countries and gives reasons as to why, while the second article I found includes a chart that shows the energy consumption (from non-renewable to renewable sources) of 64 different countries from 1969 to 2018. In general, I find that this site provides a variety of articles that don't limit themselves to one topic. This could help exclude bias but at the same time, the title of this website does include the word "capitalist" so bias will most definitely be present. That's why I'll be using multiple websites to support my research. However, I believe that this website is a good starting point because I can analyze already-made charts and infographics and pull the information I need.
