why certain maps are wrong

In class we re-watched a little clip from a part a show and it described why we should use different maps in our education systems. Some of the points they made were that Greenland was fourteen times smaller than the size of Africa, but in the map used all around the US they were almost identical sizes. They also said that with the other map it makes the north look better and on top rather on the bottom and worse. I personally agree with these points and I believe they are good and have the force to change the map being taught to all of America's youth. In the clip it shows you that this is a serious matter and it needs to be listened to. In the end I think maps will continue to become more and more accurate, and will have the same problem again.
