Map of the USA

This map of America is called the New Yorker. At the heart of the image is New York City. This is interesting as it shows the self love of the New Yorkers with their state. However, the map does raise a valid point. If you think of America, or were asked to name the states, New York would be one of the first on the list. It is famous, memorable and a fascinating place. Although this does not represent America fairly, to some degree the map holds a point. It shows the famous USA opposed to the whole of the USA. There is a strark contrast with New York and the states beyond the Hudson river. These places lack and great detail and are simply shown with a name, suggesting again that although important to the growth and importance of America, they have no 'celebrity' status compared to the great New York.
It must also be pointed out that europe does not even register on this map, which shows who and what America deems important to their economic growth. The other countries shown are Canada, Russia, Japan and China. Bearing this in mind, it can be inferred that the New Yorker Map shows the industrial countries that the USA relies upon. I found this map interesting because i think it represents how different states view America. I think it represents that we cannot continuosly class America as one, but instead of individual states as each has a different view of their importance and relevance to todays America.
