Are images of the natural world made with technologies of mechanical (and now digital)
reproduction (e.g. photography, digital video cameras) more objective than images made
without these technologies? Why or why not? Use images to demonstrate your argument. Provide sources and attach the images used.
2. Choose a map of one place in the world and evaluate its effects on political, economic, or
other aspect of social life. You may also choose more than one map of the same place or
maps of different places and write a comparative analysis. Provide sources and attach the maps used.
3. Think about the passage of time for one (or more) aspect of human life. How is it or might it
be visualized? What effect does this visualization have on the way individuals live or on how
society functions?
