Today in class we discussed maps. We talked about how the common flat map isn't accurate at all. Peters map looks stretched out yet the size of the continents are way more accurate. When you are traveling around the world you the longest part is at the equator and the closest or smallest travel is at the poles. The flat map cant display the round world no matter how it is arranged or displayed. Most schools and just people in general use a normal flat map. If you were to use one instead of a globe then you should use peters maps because the size of countries relative to others is nearly perfect. Even though it doesn't display the proportions of a globe, it cant because it is a flat map.
