In each of the maps included in this PowerPoint, the

children of the world give their own uniqueness to

them. Where the child is from holds great significance

in the drawings. The country of origin is usually noted

in some why in the map. What is great from all the

maps that were chosen, is that the students, no matter

where they are from realize there is the globe must

work together and by in harmony or the last map will

occur. The realization by the students of a global

awareness is great and these students are the next

generation to realize the violence depicted in some of

the maps will be the destruction of our global

community. The students understand that the world

must work hand-in-hand for the globe to be in peace and

harmony. As children of the world, the stereotypes

they carry are shown in many of the maps. As stated

before, the cool thing about all of these is the students

understanding of the global community and its

significance to our success as a human race.
