نقشه دنیا از دید آمریکایی ها!+ عکس

Maps are not only big confusing objects used to torture us in Geography class. Thanks to having them, we can get a better idea of how big the world is, how historical and economical events influence it… And also, according to some cute women on TV, where it’s going to rain.

Maps can also be used to question random people on the street and laugh about how little they learned in school. In the case of some maps here, we also get idea of how stereotypes mark places we only have the vague idea exist. See what we mean…

6. The World according to an anonymous alcoholic.

7. The world atlals described by somebody who’s never seen an atlas before, but knows that there are different territories?

8. World map of prejudice.
