Ali Butt44958Project 1; MapsMarch 19, 2014Project; MapsMaps are considered to be people's views of the world and how they interpret them on maps. They are very individualistic, because each person will draw their maps according to their own vision of the world and the places that are of real importance to them. This view on cartography can be considered biased and subjective because it tells each person's own view of how they see the world and try to draw it on a map and illustrated by the book The Power of Projection: How maps reflect world politics and history as ". Such projection can be manipulated to fit the cartographers' agenda" (Klinghoffer, p.5). Furthermore, these individualistic maps, compared to maps of other cartographers, have similarities and differences between the maps that will be illustrated and the reasons because these similarities and differences will be explained using map 1 and map 2. The similarities between map 1 and map 2 are both studied by cartographers at AUS and love going to the same teahouse; visit the mall, go to MMA (mixed martial arts training), cinema, try new places to eat, new offer in existing food places and go home. These similarities occur between the two maps due to their projection, which can highlight the power of projection: How maps reflect world politics and history because "Psychological projection provides the basis for geographic concepts because the “the interpreter establishes a vision from his own point of reference” (Klinghoffer, p.45). Subsequently the reasons for these similarities between the two maps are that the two cartographers are registered at the same university which is the AUS. Both of them also enjoy having a cup of tea to relax after the daily grind of university life. Likewise, both...... middle of paper ......e instead of a goal and when you compare two cards you will find similarities and differences. This can be beautifully summarized by the book The Power of Projection: How Maps Reflect World Politics and History as "A Library of Congress expert argues that such journalistic cartography demonstrated that maps could be active, dynamic, suggestive and demonstrative – clearly far from scientific objectivity” (Klinghoffer, p39). And in historical context, maps are subjective and the difference between two maps is described in the book The Power of Projection: How Maps Reflect World Politics and History: “The Story of a British Map Published in start of World War II is rather interesting. It indicated Soviet and German advances in Poland through the use of arrows. When reprinted in China, only arrows from Soviet movements were included” (Klinghoffer, p..41-42).
