Today we talked about mental maps. Mental maps vary form person to person do to the different experiences different people have. When a person goes to a different country, continent, state, or city they get a different map in their head. When a person has never gone to a country for example the mental map is blurred and their perspective is most of the time wrong. When a person goes to a country they have never been to their mental map becomes fuller and the perspective becomes their perspective not someone else's perspective from the internet. Also a mental map does not have to be limited to a specific place it can also include routes to and from different places. So going from your house to school to maybe your friends house is also part of your mental map. If you have been all over Maryland then your mental map in Maryland will be clear and your map of somewhere you have never been to won't be as clear.
