Propaganda maps, in which I find to be some of the most interesting out there, serve a great deal in the understandings of what is occurring or has occurred during a specific time period in the world. Propaganda is defined by Dictionary.com as “information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution and nation.” These maps at times can have much influence on people. This is why it is key to have a keen view when examining these types of maps. This propaganda map in particular is a map of the world of what President Ronald Reagan would have thought to be like. What I believe is very important to point out is the us VS. them feeling. Note that sizes have been exaggerated and the use of the word OUR is very much apparent throughout.
