2. Nationalism This map shows the different flags for most of the countries in the world. This map depicts the basic concept of nationalism. This style map would be helpful in teaching geography with visual and art- minded students.

3. Universalism of Peace This picture supports the concept that peace is within our own hands. The image also depicts the need of universal appreciation of individuals, their traditions and cultures.

4. Globalism This picture provides a view of the world traveling down a dirty river with numerous global issues. The items in the river are issues that affect everyone in the world. The message of the picture seems to show that the earth will float away in the current of waste, if the global citizenship does not take action.

5. Transcending with Music This student seems to believe that music can have a unifying affect on the world population. Music is also known to help soothe aggression and promote a celebration like environment.

Some of the animals do not have territories to “belong” to which further underscores the importance of global action for environmental conservation.

9. Happy Birthday to YOU! The student view of world peace surrounds the celebration of the world’s birthday. The student depicts the happiness associated with birthday parties.

10. International Friendships The student may be depicting the need for people to bridge differences in order to support international understanding and peace. From a child’s perspective, international understanding can be as simple as taking the first step across the bridge.
