Cartograms are maps in which some thematic mapping variable is substituted for land area. For the years that I have been at Bridgewater State College, as a Geography major, I have really come to love and appreciate cartograms for the dramatic message that they send. At this point in my life, my education has defined me as a person, and will shape all my decisions hereafter. Looking at the cartograms
Tertiary Education and
Women Not in Tertiary Education remind me of how fortunate I am to have access to higher education. Geography really can help you to see the world differently, as well as your place within it!

These cartograms are taken from
http://www.worldmapper.org/. It is a great site to use for cartograms, which has many different mapping themes, as well as new population cartograms for the countries of the world.
