To Agree Or To Disagree

   I agree with the, "Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality." I think that the Mercator Map is significantly worse and incorrect than the Peters Projection Map. The Peters Projection Map is better in many ways and these people in the video explain why. There goal is for students in all schools to be taught the Peters Projection Map, instead of the Mercator  Map. The Mercator Map was created in 1569 as a navigation tool for sailors and it would make sense to make a newer one. They say that Greenland is half the size of Africa on the Mercator map when in actuality it is fourteen times less than the size of Africa. They also state that Europe and America were drawn larger than they were, most likely because of powers. Germany is also in the completely wrong place on the Mercator Map.
