I think that it isn't fair that Africa is smaller when in rare less powerful and we judge based on thalife, it is bigger becuase we often think that smaller countries

it does not make sense how if you commit a crime just because how you look they think about it differently

I learned that Africa is bigger than it seems. And that even russia is a little bit smaller than Africa.

I learned that some of the continents in our world are not drawn very accurately. some of the continents were not sized perfectly. But the map will not be 100% perfect no matter what, . This is because, when drawing a #d figure @d it won't be the exact same.

Its It's not fair to other ppeople that have made discoveries and don't have special days.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not fair to Africa that they are made ssmaller on the map when they are actually a bigger place.

# data[].attributes.body
There are probably other people too that have made discoveries like Christopher Columbus and we aren't celebrating those which is not really fair.

# data[].attributes.body
Our world right makes many conclusions just by looking at it on the outside, but if there was a complete different reason, then it would be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not  no that they made Africa on the map smaller.
its not right to make something untrue so you seem better.
But in reality you can fit a bunch of Countries including America into Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
Christopher Columbus claimed all the credit for discovering America, when in reality vikings discovered the continent years before. This example shows us that not everything that is widely accepted in the world is actual reality. We should always be critical of the information surrounding us, and be aware that there will always be people trying to write history for themselves.

I realized that the movie was insulting to people from Arabia. Even the opening song " Arabian Nights" had racist lyrics in them. The movie had a lot of stereotypes such as islamic government being cruel and merciless.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how if a person of white ethnicity commits an act of terrorism they are labeled as mentally unsound but if a person of islamic background commits a hate crime the whole religion is labeled as terrorists.

# data[].attributes.body
I kinda saw this as kinda racist because it made me think that only an Indian could play Aladdin and that means no White, Asian, or Black person could play him which seemed unfair.

# data[].attributes.body
On the maps they always show Africa as a smaller country than America. After today though i realized that Africa isn't actually that small and that you could probably fit 3 Americas in Africa (maybe). And just because we had more weapons and army's than Africa they always saw us as the bigger country.

# data[].attributes.body
Even filmmakers tend to make us believe that certain races are better than others. They make us think white people are better or that darker people are more dangerous. Films always use white characters to make them friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
Our modern world tends to make many assumptions of the way a person looks, sometimes they are good but sometimes they bad. The comments can be even target other races Today, we always believe the media. We just say the media is true. But not always..

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the media can be so biased.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that people don´ t  really care about other countries as much  because  it is like america and other countries all american citizens take other countries for granted just because they aren´t as powerful as americans.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's world we tend to always believe the internet. If we have a question we just use the internet. But sometimes it is not always correct. Some maps can be misleading, but in modern times we just go with it.

# data[].attributes.body
When you are celebrating columbus day you should know why it is celebrated and that it is just a holiday. Naturally we are taught that Christopher Columbus was this great man who "discovered North America" but you need to know the facts before you jump to conclusions.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that just because one person did something doesn't mean that whole race group will do the same. It's unfair to judge people by their race.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that something as simple as a Disney Movie can give stereotypes of different races.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that people can be disrespectful when it comes to contries.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that people can be very racist just by skin color or what you wear

# data[].attributes.body
I thing that just by the way that you look and your skin color you can get judged a lot diffrently than somebody else who looks another way. we can even loop together murders and terriost just by the way they look. For example a murderer could look one way while another 🤬 could look differntly and get judged diffrently.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that maps are not always right and that we tend not to challenge things that we learn and just go with it we also never really challenge and ask why? to the things that we are taught.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if you celebrate Christopher Columbus day you should keep in mind what really happen, and that you shouldn't take control because of killing people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the pictures show that just becouse of and impressinon or skin color or were you are from get treated diffrently becouse just of your skin color it might mean that you are poor or richer then other people.And the article basicly showing that we should almost be afraid of other races.

# data[].attributes.body
I think maybe that they purposefully disrespected other religions.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if someone famous or persuading says that this is the world map, we tend to agree to it. I also learnt that once we trust that this is the world map we tend to always say that this is correct because society says that it is correct. Lastly, everyone should have different opinions and they should continue to challenge text and other sources.

# data[].attributes.body
Aladdin, although thought to be depicted in a far away land, is actually really racist. It describes Islam as a barbaric place which even it's residents don't like as home,represented the main characters as white instead of the actual skin, and even mispronounces words,showing that the editors were careless about how a Nation speaks, and also showed that the voices of the protaganist were white people, whre as the voices for the antagonist were more voices actually from the region.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you can't always trust what you see in google or anywhere. It won't always be right.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that although the map was made to help everyone, it was made not just unproportionate of the world,but made certain areas bigger to intimidate countries,make them seem weak, which is really bad and cruel.Maps are supposed to be exact, and help everybody,no matter where you come,it supposed to show the earth for what it is.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you can't always look through someone's eyes because they wrote about it, or is popular, or or took picture's, etc. You should always be in someone's shoes in a conflict to see what they would have been through and what they needed to do. It is a bit bias, that just because he is American that he founded the lad and did all these "amazing things" . The native Americans actually already found it and adapted to the place and the fact that they are not aware that some else is reigning over their lad the Americans should be ashamed in a way. If the Native american's were aware of this transition they would not let it happen as easily as written in sources. Columbus also thought that he was at India, so to add on to that he KNOWS that people are living there and he is still going to conquer the land. That is why he called the Native american's Indians for a while.

# data[].attributes.body
I am challenging the fact that you are challenging the map. The map is an approximate representation of a sphere (earth). The Mercator projection, the one that we normally use was made for sailors so navigating in a straight line in the real world is also depicted as a straight line on the map. This kind of projection causes the northern and southern parts of the world to be stretched unfortunately. No one had intended for it to be "racist".

# data[].attributes.body
I think that for Africa to be enormously tiny on the map compared to all other countries. I originally thought that Asia was the biggest continent currently on Earth. It seems that people are being a  bit racist by making Africa smaller than it actually is, but social media and other countries, are making WAY to big of a deal about it. I mean, who knows, it could have been a typo or  they didn't double check. But it definitely was racist, in my point of view.

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely think that Africa is a little larger than it seems but people are over reacting. Maybe the makers of the map messed up a little bit and didn't get a chance to fix it.

# data[].attributes.body
The picture showed what people think of different races in the first impression. You are basically judging people which needs to stop.

# data[].attributes.body
Aladdin is depicted as a clean-shaven and mostly shirtless man, while the evil guy is depicted as a man with a long beard, traditional clothing and a thick Middle-Eastern accent. All the characters in the movie are american except the bad guys who are Middle-Eastern, this is extremely racist as it is depicting Middle-Eastern people as bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that map makers in America and England are really trying to assert dominance by making a really big continent look minuscule compare to countries so that it looks like America and Europe and stronger and more powerful. This can be problematic and can lead to unnecessary discrimination

# data[].attributes.body
I Think think that it is very problematic that Christoper Columbus should not be praised for being discovered America. I mean that the native Americans were already there so how did he discover it.

The fact that christofpher Colombus was cruel and got a holiday named after him is not good. This means thatsociety has been lieing to us about how Columbus was good but that he discovered America. It was actually Leif Erikson.So the fact that Columbus is recognised for doing good is bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some thing that is so routed in are culture can make make people think different. this is not cool becouse he was a mass 🤬 killing many people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people a long time ago who made the map made ita lot bigger in their countries. to taunt other countrys and make them scared of their countries even though they are not that powerful to imtimidate other coountrys

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it can mislead people. it can make people think different adout different races the you would yousely..

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is representing as africa being weaker than america or canada where, America, India and europe could fit in africa.

# data[].attributes.body
I think It kind of showsw discrimination because what if it was switched around a bit?, They are saying you should be scared or threatened by race.

# data[].attributes.body
I never knew that we are all using a map that was created in the 16th century. It strikes me that no one has changed the map since. 400 years. Someone need to change the map because the map is completely based off of propaganda when a European guy wanted to make money off a map.

# data[].attributes.body
In this article it was showing the differences between shooters. I think just because someone looks a certain way they shouldn't seem more dangerous than another person. Say you are sitting next to a person with a different race than you or skin color you should feel comfortable around that person.

# data[].attributes.body
It is interesting how we think differently about 2 differently people doing the same wrong thing. No matter what its bad to shoot someone so no matter what both people should be put to blame. It shouldn't matter if your black or white, Muslim or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I always thought that the people who make maps are always right. But today on the map it was showing that Africa was smaller than in real life which isn't right. And I didn't think it would affect people but it does.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that people of a certain race such as Muslims and blacks are showed to be more dangerous than people that are white even if they hurt many people around them.

# data[].attributes.body
This just goes to show how even the most innocent of stories could present something so racist and discriminating. I quite frankly believe that this movie was pushing the stereotypes of muslim men as to  long beard, traditional muslim clothing - bad guy and shirtless, charming - good guy. Also the antagonist of this film had an arabian accent while the 2 protagonists of the film had  american accents and could speak English fluently. The lesson of this is that just because it is a Disney princess movie, that doesn't mean that people are pushing stereotypes through it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always thought that the map was made by someone that knew the facts. I have always thought that it was made to scale. The article showed me that the map maker was bias and made the less powerful countries smaller than they actually are

# data[].attributes.body
I found it both interesting and disturbing that when asked a question 30% of Americans chose to bomb the place were Aladdin lives. Also I think that the reason during the Aladdin try outs the hired  caucasian people is because Walt Disney was also a caucasian man. I think that the people that made Aladdin  most likely could have found a way to hold true to the heritage of areas like that, but chose not to.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that before, Greek philosophers like Aristole had already discovered the world is flat a long time ago. But sine Christopher Columbus is more recent, everyone celebrates him for finding out the world is flat. This should change, and we should honor those Geek philosophers instead.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that people sometimes think about old movies that they always remember and love as perfect, without seeing how biased the really are. I think that this will help peiople look at movies that they had loved all their life and look at it from other people's perspectives as well.

# data[].attributes.body
This just goes to show how black and muslim people are targeted more than any other race in the world because of their ethnicity and the stereotype that all of them are dangerous. Whenever there is a white shooter, people are not too judge mental about that person, but when it comes to a muslim or black shooter, people haste to get their opinions out. This is not an excuse, and the United States is the one to blame for created these bizarre stereotypes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the map might have been used by Europe countries. So they could see which countries to look out for because their powerful. But that's not good for the Europe countries because its not good for war if your trying to takeover large masses of land. Also it can mislead people in the future, and it can be saying some countries are weak.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always thought that who ever made /desgined the world map was making based on facts.

# data[].attributes.body
This show how If someone muslin was accused and proven guilty of doing something that would affect a lot of muslims but if it was someone white people would think he or she had emotional issues.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it can be important to challenge history because everyone lies, even people who lived back then. Christopher Columbus was also a white man, which people often prioritize to being superior. I found it interesting that the article didn't even mention about the fact that when he "founded america" he also killed many natives.

# data[].attributes.body
This kind of shows that even small things like the casting can mean a lot to some people and makes everyone take their decisions carefully.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this shows that people will make up excuses for other people because of their race and for some people they will excuse even if they do nothing wrong.

I always thought that Canada was bigger that Africa. But know I know that is not true. People are putting other people down by making their continent smaller like they are not important. People probably thought that Africa was a really bad country, so they made it smaller. Mapmakers are acting really biast, by making other countries not the correct way.

I think that it wasn't fair that the native Americans were getting credit for discovering America. Because they may have found America first but they didn't tell anyone about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really think it is fair that we are giving credit to Christopher Columbus for finding America when he wasn't the first person to find it. He is also a malicious person for commiting genoside.

I never thought that America was the same size as Africa on the map. I did not think people will criticize other places just because of their understanding and what they think the country is poor. ( Map creator)

# data[].attributes.body
People wanted to believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America. Even Google said that. But the dinosaurs were the first inhabitants in America. I first thought that it was Christopher Columbus. But it was really the Dinosaurs. They probably did this, because they wanted a white man to be honored for discovering America.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this article exposes how biased the media can be towards different people even though they committed the same crime. This also made me think of how much us as a society stereotypes different races. And assumes that all crimes are fueled by something that's steryotypical of your race.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like people were upset because the casting crew claimed that they couldn't find a good actor of the appropriate race and instead used a white actor.

I think that this article shows how people judge you by your race and the picture also showed what people think just because of your race.

I think that this article really shows how people judge others just because of their race and religion. But the picture/comic was the one that really stood out to me.

I think that this is really show's how people keep on believing that Christopher Columbus was the first one to discover America but nobody really give's credit to the Native American's.

I don't think that it's fair to punish people based on their race. If one person makes a mistake in shooting and they are are from a different race, then their whole nation. It's not a good system.

One thing that I thought was interesting was how people think differently about shooters, just because of their race.

Aladdin was such an innocent movie. Who knew that such a harmless tale could send such a different message that was intended. It's very interesting!

I think that even though it does not affect the movie in such a big aspect, it affects people that were expecting the main characters to be the race that they were in the movie.

Instead of just showing a shooting from one race, this article shows it from different race perspectives. It is showing how if someone who looks foreign commits a violent act, they are painted out to be a terrorist or a thug. If someone who is caucasian commits a violent act, they just say that they were mentally disabled and didn't know what they were doing, even though they are still commiting a hate crime.

This is implying that certain countries are falsely more powerful than others. Also mapmakers could be biased coming from a certain country, that country could be depicted as more powerful than it actually is.
