UPDATE: The link listed below is currently not working. I've talked to Ariana Giorgi about this, and she is working to get her graph up and running again via Bloomberg. She was kind enough to provide me with a provide me with alternate URLs to the interactive scatter plot  as well as a link to the original text of the story . Ariana is doing a lot of interesting work with data visualizations, follow her on Twitter or hit up her website . _______________________________________________________________________________ This scatter plot (and accompanying news story from Bloomberg News)  demonstrates what a non-existent linear relationship looks like. The data plots CEO pay on the x-axis and stock market return for that CEO's organization on the y-axis. I could see where this graph would also be useful in an I/O course in discussions of (wildly unfair) compensation, organizational justice, etc. http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-07-22/for-ceos-correlation...

Do you follow  Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal  on  Facebook  or  Twitter ? Zach Weinersmith's hilarious web comic series frequently touches upon science, research methods, data collection, and statistics. Here are some such comics. Good for spiffing up a power point, spiffing up an office door (the first comic adorns mine) or ( per this post ) testing understanding of statistical concepts. http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2080...also a good example of the availability bias! http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3129 http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3435 http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=1744 http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2980 http://smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=4084 http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-08-05 https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=4127 http://smbc-comics.com/comic/false-positives https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/relax

Pew Research went around the globe and asked folks in 40 different countries if a variety of different behaviors qualified as "Unacceptable", "Acceptable", or "Not a moral issue". See below for a broad summary of the findings. Summary of international morality data from Pew The data on this website is highly interactive...you can break down the data by specific behavior, by country, and also look at different regions of the world. This data is a good demonstration of why graphs are useful and engaging when presenting data to an audience. Here is a summary of the data from Pew.  It nicely describes global trends (extramarital affairs are largely viewed as unacceptable, and contraception is widely viewed as acceptable). How you could use this in class. 1) Comparison of different countries and beliefs about what is right, and what is wrong. Good for discussions about multiculturalism, social norms, normative behaviors, the influence of religion ...
