Maria is trying to find her way from the city park to the ice cream shop, which is two blocks north and three blocks east of the park. She would like to create a simple map using her living location as a reference, where the school is one block south of the park. Considering this information and using her body as a reference, how could Maria create a simple map to get to the ice cream shop from the park, and where, in relation to the park, in which direction and how many blocks away would the school be located?

Eastern Europe is a region marked by a complex intersection of ethnic, cultural, and religious factors that often manifest in territorial disputes and sometimes armed conflicts. Historian Timothy Snyder, in his book 'Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin,' reinforces the idea that 'Eastern Europe is a land of uncertain borders, where changes in international power often meant changes in the identities of those living in these borders.' Based on this perspective, analyze and discuss: 1) How can transformations in political and international power trigger significant changes in the ethnic and cultural dynamics of Eastern Europe and, consequently, conflicts of identity and territory? 2) Evaluate how historical tensions and legacies of totalitarian regimes, such as those of Hitler and Stalin, continue to influence interethnic relations and geopolitical stability in the region.
