The map above represents an example of a mental map. A mental map is the way a particular person or group of people, in this case referring to the entire United States of America, views information or a particular situation. The image humorously pokes fun at how Americans view the rest of the world focusing on the idea that America is the best place to be. While every individual has their own personal mental map of whatever is being discussed, this image groups a very large population together and states that this is what all Americans think. Of course one must always consider than each individual still has their own view.
