WORLD MAP IS A LIE

The map is the diagrammatic and symbolic representation of the places of an area of land or sea showing the physical and geographical properties of the places. The use of the map is done to know the exact projection of a piece of land, city, or country. Small to Small measurements can be done easily with the help of a map very precisely and accurately. But my whole life has been a lie about the world map. 
         
The map that I studied and all the children across the nation or globe are studying is wrong. In the world map that we have been studying, countries are shown bigger than the continent but actually, they aren't in real life. Here in the world map below, Greenland seems bigger than South America which isn't true. Russia and Canada are shown very large than their actual size. Africa isn't shown in its proper shape and most other countries haven't their actual shapes and size as per the projection of this map. So, in the real world, the world map shown by computers taught in school, understand by many peoples is a complete lie.

But in the middle of the 19th century in the year 1855, James Gall and Arno Peters researched properly on the world map and launched a new map on paper with exact shapes and sizes and projections of the countries and continents, which is called Gall-Peters Projection. In the Gall-Peters Projection of the world map, countries have gained their actual size, Africa has gained its actual shape and size and Greenland doesn't seem bigger than South America. The Gall-Peters projection achieved notoriety in the late 20th century as the centerpiece of controversy about the political implications of map design.

Maps based on the projection are promoted by UNESCO, and they are also widely used by British schools. The U.S. state of Massachusetts and Boston Public Schools began phasing in these maps in March 2017, becoming the first public school district and state in the United States to adopt Gall-Peters maps as their standard.

Since I got to know about Gall-Peters maps I think that the world map is a lie. So, I suggest every country and institution should promote Gall-Peters maps to give the right knowledge and ideas to the children, students, and every citizen of their country.

  1. The earth is flat and there are 9 continents. Antartica is ice wall that avoids the water from falling into outer space.everything is a lie;NASA is a lie, so its not our fault that we got wrong information. The trouble is that these NASA guys are profiting from the fake facts. Next time i want you to to write about why global warming is lie and how wearing face masks can cause respiratory problems.

Royal Massacre Of Nepal

Every friday in Narayanhiti palace, the king Birendra and his dearest ones used to have some dinner parties event at night. On June 1st, 2001 also the event was going to be organized. And, twenty-four people were invited to be present by 7:30 PM for the party event. Among those twenty-four people, only twenty-one people attended the event happening in the palace. Prekshya Rajyalakshmi devi Shah, Mohan Bahadur Shahi and Bimala Singh weren't attending the event that day. Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah wasn't invited for the event because he was in Pokhara that day. The day is considered as the black day for Nepalese people because the most lovable King of the country and his family were brutally murdered inside their own palace. At first, Gyanendra and Prime Minister Girija Koirala announced that the worst royal massacre since the assassination of the Romanovs of Russia in 1917 had been caused by an automatic weapon that had gone off by itself. Soon, the explanation for the massacre w...

Scientific Inquiry: Invention and Test (Toulmin's Model)

TOULMIN'S MODEL OF ARGUMENTATION Claims:- Scientific inquiry is a long and time-consuming process with forming hypotheses, testing predictions and an interdisciplinary search. The searchers for truth cannot remain confined to a single discipline. Grounds:- Ignaz Semmelweis , a Hungarian physician, searched for the cause of  childbed fevers which caused four times more death in his ward compared to others.  Dr. Semmelweis examined some hypotheses while trying to find the actual cause of the death.  He had formulated many hypotheses on the subject and tested each of them .Through his continuous effort testing out the assumptions, he found the answer in 4 years from 1844 to 1848. Warrant:- Hypotheses gives new ways and directions to a researcher. Testing hypotheses drops out irrelevant facts from study. Semmelweis’ testing of  hypotheses lead him to the truth. In 1847, accidentally, Dr. Semmelweis’ colleague Kolletschka received a small wound in the finger from the...
