Mapping Stereotypes

http://alphadesigner.com/project-mapping-stereotypes.html

In class on Monday we were wondering if there is any kind of culture or association that can be attributed to all of Europe.  Also, what do we as Americans think of when hear the words 'Europe', 'France' or 'Italy'.  I've provided a link to a series of maps, all created by one man, that show how countries are often stereotyped.  There are many maps, supposed to be from the perspective of one country or another.  They reveal how different countries may stereotype other countries in different ways.  Don't be mistaken, these maps are meant to be more funny and offensive than accurate, but it is an interesting portfolio none the less.
