I don't really know what kind of points they were making or what we're supposed to be writing down, so this is a shot in the dark. We should be using the Peters Projection map because the regular standard map made third world countries smaller and European countries bigger to show greater importance. This created a subconscious bias towards these countries. I agree with this point because usually it's in our heads that greater size means greater importance. This might be true to an extent, but I don't believe that the sizes of countries on the map is the root of racism. Another thing they say is that nothing is where we think it is. I don't think that point is valid enough because we still get the general idea of where everything is, it's not like there's too much of a difference. Those were the only points really brought up, they just talked about the same things, just using different words and phrases.
