Ali Butt44958Project 1; Maps19 March 2014Project; MapsMaps are seen as people's perspective on the world and how they interpret maps. They are very individualistic, as each person will draw their own maps based on their own view of the world and places that have true meaning for them. This view of cartography can be seen as prejudicial and subjective as it tells each person's vision of how they see the world and try to draw it on the map and is illustrated by the book The Power of Projection: How Maps Reflect Global Politics and History as “.Such a projection can be manipulated to suit the agenda of the cartographers” (Klinghoffer,p.5).Furthermore these individualistic maps when compared with maps of other cartographers, are similarities and differences between the maps that will be illustrated and the reasons why 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, they love going to the same tea shop; visit the mall, do MMA (mixed martial arts training), go to the cinema, try new places to eat, new offer in food places and go home. These similarities occur between both maps due to their projection which can be highlighted by the power of projection: how maps reflect global politics and history as "Psychological projection provides the basis for geographical concepts as the interpreter establishes a vision from one's point of reference" (Klinghoffer, p.45). Next the reasons for these similarities between the two maps as both cartographers are enrolled in the same university which is AUS. We also both like to have a cup of tea to relax after the daily routine of college life. Likewise both...... middle of the paper ...... and instead of the objective and comparing any two maps you will find similarities and differences. This can be summed up beautifully by the book The Power of Projection: How Maps Reflect Global 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 well far from scientific objectivity" (Klinghoffer, p39). And in historical context it shows maps as subjective and the difference between two maps as described in the book the power of projection: how maps reflect global politics and history as “Quite interesting is the story of a British map published at the beginning of Second World War. It indicated the Soviet and German advance into Poland through the use of arrows. When reprinted in China, only the Soviet movement arrows were included” (Klinghoffer, p.41-42).
