Cluster of My Controversy

In this blog post, I have analysed the web that I created on Google Draw for my QRG about the General Motors Recall Crisis.

Wolf, Laurence "Cluster of My Controversy" created on my computer 9/11/2015

In order to create the above web of my controversy, I began with General Motors and brainstormed everything I could relate to the year of "Total Recall." The top half of the web is based around the ignition switch recalls as that is what most of my research is focused on. I tried to extrapolate that part of the web as much as possible based around the major figures and also the effects. The relations between two items are detailed by the text around the connecting lines if the connection is not otherwise abundantly obvious. The bottom half of the web, on the other hand, regards all of the other recalls that have affected General Motors this year. Finally, the middle bubbles are items and figures and entities that effect the whole issue rather than particular facets of it.

I read and commented on Issak's and Elliot's post about their clusters. They both used Coggle which seems like a very well thought out program as it created beautiful webs for them. Ultimately I think we all used a similar method for organization (in which we began with the biggest topics and broke down each topic into sub-topics until we ran out of topics and then could branch off people and individual events). Reading theirs, however, helped me realize that I could break my topics down even further in some cases (Claire MacCatskill in particular is important from Congress).
