Prompt: in the tutorial, we calculated the average trust in others for France and visualized it. Using instead the variable ‘Trust in Parliament’ (trstplt) and the country of Spain (country file provided on course website), visualize the average trust by survey year. You can truncate the y-axis if you wish. Provide appropriate titles and labels given the changes. What are your main takeaways based on the visual (e.g., signs of increase, decrease, or stall)?

My main takeaways based on the visual are that there was a slight increase in the trust in parliament in Spain between 2002 and 2004, 2004 being the year that trust was the highest, however from 2004 to 2012 trust kept decreasing each year. In 2012, trust was reported as the lowest, but it began to increase slightly till 2018 and then after dropped once again in 2020.

Prompt and question: Based on the figure we produced above called task2_plot, tell us: what are your main takeaways regarding France relative to Italy and Norway? Make sure to be concrete and highlight at least two important comparative trends visualized in the graph.
Based on the figure produced, it is evident that France has always remained in the middle relative to Italy which has relatively lower proportions of saying ‘yes’ to feeling close to a party by cohort and Norway which has demonstarted relatively higher proportions of saying ‘yes’ to feeling close to a party by cohort. The first important trend to note is that between 1920 and 1950, France’s proportions slightly increased while Norway’s slightly decreased illustarting that both countries had very similar proportions during those years. The second important trend to note is that after the 1950s, France’s proportions continued to decrease. Around the 1960s, Italy’s proportions were increasing, therefore illustrating very similar proportions between France and Italy, especially during the 1980’s and onward.

Therefore,the marginal percentage of Italian men who feel close to a particular political party is about 20.5%.
