I really liked the comparisons made in this graph. For example, while the United States gave the most amount of money, we were not even close to the generosity of other nations. We donated less than a dollar per individual, and practically no percentage of our earnings. What I took away from this is that, although the amount of money we gave was the most, we still are not a generous population when compared to what others gave. I also found the Pledged vs. Delivered section of the graph: only four countries have actually given everything they've pledged. Also, this was such a tragic natural disaster, but its aid was significantly less that aid given to other disasters of the same effect.
